This timely and thought-provoking volume delves into the possibilities of liberating our habitual patterns of perception and consciousness beyond the constraints of a capitalist era. In Post-Capitalist Subjectivity in Literature and Anti-Psychiatry, Skott-Myhre poses the intriguing question: How might our lives be different if we didn't inhabit a capitalist society? By drawing on Marxist and post-Marxist theory, conducting nuanced analysis of the professional writings of anti-psychiatrists such as Basaglia and Laing, as well as the work of fiction writers Kafka and García Márquez, the text identifies alternative conceptualizations of the self. With a particular focus on portrayals of institutions and the family, Skott-Myhre proposes that these social systems offer new modes of reading the world and ourselves, which have the potential to transform social organization and free subjectivity from the dominant structures of capitalism. This transdisciplinary text responds to a revitalized interest in alternatives to traditional psychology, a longing for life beyond capitalism, and the crisis within the traditional family.
Post-Capitalist Subjectivity in Literature and Anti-Psychiatry will be of valuable reading for graduate students, researchers, and scholars in the fields of cultural studies, psychology, philosophy, family studies, and interdisciplinary studies.
