Reviews
This collection demonstrates the fecundity of thinking spatially through psychoanalysis, and psychoanalytically through space. Neither psychoanalysis nor geography will be the same. Entering these pages, readers find a world upside-down, where consciousness dissolves into its dirty, multifarious, and unconscious splendor, providing us with analytical and practical means for imagining a world beyond 'the end of the Anthropocene.' --Heidi J. Nast, professor in the International Studies Program at DePaul University-- (03/05/2018) There is no more pressing time to be using psychoanalytic theory than now, and this book demonstrates the urgency of this task almost with every turn of the page. It is a pathbreaking --'next generation'--analysis, revealing the power of psychoanalytic geographies in addressing key global challenges. --Steve Pile, professor of human geography at the Open University-- (03/05/2018) Psychoanalysis and the GlObal brilliantly confirms Jacques Lacan's thesis that the unconscious is political. It not merely applies psychoanalysis to global economic and political movements; it reveals how the unconscious itself is already traversed by social and political antagonisms. For this reason alone, this edited volume by Ilan Kapoor is obligatory reading, not only for those who want to penetrate the dark underside of our social life but also for those who want to bring out the economic and political mediation of our most intimate traumas. --Slavoj Zizek, senior researcher, Institute for Sociology and Philosophy, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia-- (03/05/2018)

This anthology proves not only that the theories are compatible, but they can also be fused in a lot of different creative ways, opening up a rather undiscovered realm of experimental studies in social studies overall. -Erik Hansson, Social and Cultural Geography -- Erik Hansson * Social and Cultural Geography *
