  • More about Toward a Feminist Lacanian Left: Psychoanalytic Theory and Intersectional Politics

This book provides a feminist and discursive reading of Lacan's concept of sexual position to problematize political antagonism and political subjects. It offers a new theoretical framework for intersectional political theory and applies it to the construction of women's identity in European politics and economy. The interdisciplinary approach appeals to scholars in psychoanalysis, feminisms, political philosophy, and more.

While traditional feminist readings on antagonism have often focused solely on the axis of sex and/or gender, a more comprehensive and intersectional approach to antagonism is urgently needed. This book offers a groundbreaking, feminist, and discursive exploration of the Lacanian concept of sexual position as a means to challenge and problematize the notions of political antagonism and political subjects.

Can Lacanian psychoanalysis provide fresh foundations for feminist politics? This discursive mediation of Lacan's work presents a novel theoretical framework upon which to articulate proposals for intersectional political theory. The first part of this book develops this theoretical framework, while the second part applies it to the construction of women's identity in European politics and economy. The book concludes with notes for a feminist political and economic praxis through community currencies and municipalism.

The interdisciplinary approach of this book will appeal to scholars interested in the fields of psychoanalysis, feminism, and political philosophy, as well as multidisciplinary scholars engaged in discourse theory, sexuality and gender studies, cultural studies, queer theory, and continental philosophy. Students at the master's and PhD levels will also find this a valuable feminist introduction to Lacanian psychoanalysis, discourse, and gender.
