Said and Sigmund Freud as well the relationship between psychoanalysis, postcolonialism and decoloniality more broadly. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author begins by offering a comprehensive review of the literature on psychoanalysis and postcolonialism, which is contextualized within the apparatus of racialized capitalism. In the close analysis of the interconnections between the Freud and Said that follows, there is an attempt to decolonize the former and psychoanalyze the latter. He argues that decolonizing Freud does not mean canceling him; rather, he employs Freud’s sharpest insights for our time, by extending his critique of modernity to coloniality. It is also advanced that psychoanalyzing Said does not mean psychologizing the man; instead the book's aim is to demonstrate the influence of psychoanalysis on Said’s work. It is asserted that Said began with Freud, repressed him, and then Freud returned. Reading Freud and Said side byside allows for the theorization of what the author calls \u003ci\u003econtrapuntal psychoanalysis as liberation praxis\u003c\/i\u003e, which is discussed in-depth in the final chapters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book, which builds on the author’s previous work, \u003ci\u003eDecolonial Psychoanalysis\u003c\/i\u003e, will be a valuable text to scholars and students from across the psychology discipline with an interest in Freud, Said and the broader relationship between psychoanalysis and colonialism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030567422\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-56743-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 208\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383492370572,"sku":"9783030567422","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030567422.jpg?v=1775919248","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030567422","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
