Narcissism, Melancholia and the Subject of Community
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-63828-7 (ISBN)
Taking as their concern the difficulty of setting apart the 'inner' and the 'outer' worlds, as well as the difficulty of preserving an image of the coherently boundaried subject, the psychoanalytic frameworks of narcissism and melancholia provide the background coordinates for the volume's contributors to analyse contemporary subjectivities in new psychosocial contexts. This collection will be of great interest to all scholars and practitioners of psychoanalysis and the psychotherapies, social and cultural theory, gender and sexuality studies, politics, and psychosocial studies.
Barry Sheils is Assistant Professor in the Department of English Studies at Durham University, UK. Julie Walsh is a lecturer in the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies at the University of Essex, UK, and a psychoanalytic therapist in London.
