Edited by Ben Gook, the book brings together interdisciplinary essays examining the psychic and collective dimensions of crises such as the 2008 global financial collapse, the COVID-19 pandemic, and political instability. Contributors draw on psychoanalysis, cultural theory, and philosophy to analyze how libidinal investments shape and are shaped by systemic failures, including economic inequality, political disaffection, and environmental degradation. The work reflects on the historical and ongoing relevance of theories by Freud, Lacan, and others in addressing mass psychology and the politics of desire. Designed for scholars and students in cultural studies, psychoanalysis, and critical theory, the book provides insights into the psychosocial underpinnings of 21st-century crises.Generated by AI.CapitalismCapitalism.330.019Gook Ben.0Gook1782405MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910920945503321Libidinal Economies of Crisis Times4308565UNINA
