Excellent- More about Baudrillard and Lacanian Psychoanalysis
This book challenges Lacanian psychoanalysis' futile attempt to (re)animate the unconscious subject, questioning its notion of the 'real' and surplus and the links between psychoanalysis and Marxism. It exposes Lacanian psychoanalysis as an endlessly recursive simulation model with questionable ethics. The book is a valuable resource for social, critical, cultural, literary, feminist, and psychoanalytic theory, offering alternative perspectives and questioning the status quo.

This groundbreaking work is the first to offer a critical analysis of Lacanian psychoanalysis, both as a clinical practice and as a source of socio-cultural and philosophical theory. It challenges the notion that Lacan's concept of the 'real, the unconscious' is structured as a language and his concept of surplus, while also examining the connections between psychoanalysis and Marxism. The text reveals how Lacanian psychoanalysis, with its questionable ethics, manifests as an endlessly recursive simulation model.
Lacan's clinical seminar had a significant impact on the intellectual scene of Paris during the time when Baudrillard was writing. Although he frequently referred to psychoanalysis, Baudrillard never produced a comprehensive critique of it; however, the framework for such a work can be found throughout his writing. The text also outlines Deleuze and Guattari's critique of psychoanalysis, highlighting how their proposed alternative remains within the oppressive terms of our current world.
This book is a valuable resource for social, critical, cultural, literary, feminist, and psychoanalytic theory. While it will be of interest to students, researchers, and scholars of Jean Baudrillard's work and Lacanian psychoanalysis, it is particularly relevant to those who have concerns about psychoanalysis and are seeking new directions through questioning.
