"""The individual chapters of Capitalism and the new Political Unconscious provide invaluable keys for interpreting the most recent innovations in the world economy and the subtle changes in our interpretations of the signs and symbols steering those mutations. The book offers a sophisticated guide to understanding the architecture of power in the third decade of the twenty-first century."" --Darrow Schecter, Professor of Critical Theory & Modern European History, University of Sussex, UK ""The codependent forces of corporate digital media and a truth-averse reactive subjectivity mark an unprecedented shift in the nexus between politics and the unconscious, this book argues. Its extraordinary value lies in the proposed solution, radical in its deceptive banality: the rehabilitation of public institutions in their capacity to mediate the ravages of jouissance."" --James Penney, Professor of Cultural Studies and French and Francophone Studies, Trent University, Canada"
