Description matérielle : 1 online resource
Note(s) : Seeks to connect the reader to the scope and majesty of Freud's vision. Most chapters
focus on one of his key texts before discussing the topics more widely in relation
to other authors and to consumer research. Explanations by Melanie Klein, Jacques
Lacan and Reň Girard, among others are selectively discussed in relation to a range
of topics including: sexuality, aggression, narcissism, mourning, excess, lack, freedom
and hysteria. While not motivated to rehabilitate psychoanalysis, a subsidiary aim
is to introduce discussion of the usefulness of psychoanalytic understandings of concepts
such as identification, the unconscious, mourning, narcissism, lack and hysteria in
relation to consumer desire. It also aims to provide a flavour of Freud's connection
to ancient philosophy through works such as Plato's Symposium and to the arts. Finally
it selectively discusses how psychoanalytic ideas were interpreted by others, for
better and for worse, during the twentieth century.
