インターネットは無意識を持つか?:ジジェクとデジタル文化Does the Internet Have an Unconscious? : Slavoj Žižek and Digital Culture
(Psychoanalytic Horizons)
Annotation
New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2018. Clint Burnham does not merely apply psychoanalysis to internet; he demonstrates how the unconscious itself is 'structured like the internet', how our entanglement in the impenetrable digital web allows us to understand properly the way the unconscious overdetermines our thinking and activities. - Slavoj Zizek.
Full Description
Does the Internet Have an Unconscious? is both an introduction to the work of Slavoj Žižek and an investigation into how his work can be used to think about the digital present.
Clint Burnham uniquely combines the German idealism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and Marxist materialism found in Žižek's thought to understand how the Internet, social and new media, and digital cultural forms work in our lives and how their failure to work structures our pathologies and fantasies. He suggests that our failure to properly understand the digital is due to our lack of recognition of its political, aesthetic, and psycho-sexual elements.
Mixing autobiographical passages with critical analysis, Burnham situates a Žižekian theory of digital culture in the lived human body.
