Narcissistic society.Examining Julia Kristeva's contention that contemporary Western society is witnessing a crisis of subjectivity due to the failure of the paternal function, Gambaudo places Kristeva's thesis within the context of Freudian psychoanalytic thought and shows how Kristeva defends her position against a cultural climate privileging scientific and cognitive answers to aesthetic concerns. Gambaudo argues that while Kristeva's position might be construed as defensive and a reactive clinging on to paternal modes of organisation of subjectivity, it also offers a unique and visionary analysis of subjectivity that rescues the paternal project from its decline. Eschewing a traditional emphasis on Kristeva's feminism, this book's primary interest is located at the intersection between psychoanalysis and culture, specifically analysing the superseding of Oedipus by narcissistic organisation.Ashgate new critical thinking in philosophy.SubjectivityPsychoanalysis and cultureSubjectivity.Psychoanalysis and culture.150.19509277.14bclGambaudo Sylvie1965-,786602MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910154573103321Kristeva, psychoanalysis and culture1751897UNINA
