Using several contemporary novels, films and theatrical plays that illustrate aporia – such as \u003ci\u003ePercy Jackson and the Lightning Thief\u003c\/i\u003e (Riordan, 2007), \u003ci\u003eTron Legacy\u003c\/i\u003e (Koninski, 2010), \u003ci\u003eWelcome to Thebes\u003c\/i\u003e (Buffini, 2010), \u003ci\u003eThe Photographers\u003c\/i\u003e (Koundouros, 1998), \u003ci\u003ePrometheus\u003c\/i\u003e (2012) and \u003ci\u003ePrometheus Retrogressing\u003c\/i\u003e (Sfikas, 1998) – Angie Voela introduces common ground between Lacanian psychoanalysis and some of Freud’s most ardent critics, Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard, as well as the cultural philosopher Bernard Stiegler. These unprecedented systematic comparisons broaden the scope and impact of Lacanian psychoanalysis in inter-disciplinary debates of philosophy and culture and Voela argues that apart from dealing with the past, psychoanalysis must alsodeal more explicitly with the present and the future. She presents a unique inquiry into modern subjectivity that will be of great interest to scholars of psychoanalysis, philosophy, film, literature and contemporary culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2017-08-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137483461\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-48347-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 241\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44477391732876,"sku":"9781137483461","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137483461.jpg?v=1774530133","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137483461","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
