Provides the foundations for a new form of psychoanalysis appropriate to the subject of the twenty—first century.
A Psychoanalysis for a Reemergent Humanity
presents and elaborates upon the mature thought of the Haitian—Quebecois analyst Willy Apollon. Apollon's work amounts to a thorough revision of the fundamental concepts of Freudian—Lacanian psychoanalysis in view of the situation of the human subject today, in an age of global cultural conflict and interpenetration that he calls "mondialisation." This landmark volume brings together a new foundational text by Apollon, seven original essays, including by Apollon's longtime collaborators Danielle Bergeron and volume coeditor Lucie Cantin, and an interview with Apollon. Synthesizing clinical, cultural—historical, and aesthetic perspectives, contributors offer rich redefinitions of the unconscious, the imaginary—symbolic—real triad, masculine and feminine, puberty and adolescence, address and transference, the symptom, the fantasy, and more. As distinct cultures and civilizations crumble, the world as a whole and the human emerge in a new way.
meets this moment, positioning spirit as a crucial term for a human creativity that exceeds any given culture.
