Book, Ways to Transform Worlds Lacan, Politics and Emancipation[LS]

Language: Brazilian Portuguese. In this book, Vladimir Safatle shows how Jacques Lacan's thought and practice matter for those who want to think about politics beyond the game of forces between institutions and domains of representation. Examining the four fundamental concepts of politics for psychoanalysis - namely: identification, enjoyment, transference and act -, Safatle employs psychoanalysis as a critical device and transformative practice against the conformist domination that the psychology of each era mobilizes as an ideology. How does the family count in our subjectivation process, determining horizons of authority production? How are religious forms embedded in our work processes and production of value? How do our identities become political within knowledge management systems? How can we think of an alternative notion of freedom considering Lacan's concrete experience in organizing his School of Psychoanalysis, in order to synchronize the psychoanalytic act and the revolutionary process? These are crucial questions put into circulation by this book. Necessary work both to understand how to transform the reality of oppression that we face today, and to do so in consideration of desire, within the horizon of subjectivity of our time.
