Exemples de sublimation face à l’angoisse de la fin du monde
Une branche particulière des études sur l’avenir, appelée collapsologie, se développe dans le monde entier. Elle traite de la probabilité d’un effondrement de la société dû au changement climatique, aux pandémies et à d’autres catastrophes similaires. Alors que les personnes qui se considèrent comme réalistes soulignent que les sociétés doivent apporter des changements immédiats aux systèmes socio-écologiques afin de les rendre plus résistants et…
L’envie d’art
Les artistes sont souvent envieux du travail d’autres artistes et cette envie peut, entre autres, se refléter dans la façon dont ils peignent les portraits et autoportraits. Nous avons choisi ici les portraits et autoportraits de plusieurs artistes célèbres (Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Celia Paul...) cherchant ce que la psychanalyse peut dire des bouleversements intérieurs que ces artistes ont vécus et des relations d’envie qu’ils ont pu dévelop…
A Passion for Ignorance: What We Choose Not to Know and Why
An original and provocative exploration of our capacity to ignore what is inconvenient or traumatic Ignorance, whether passive or active, conscious or unconscious, has always been a part of the human condition, Renata Salecl argues. What has changed in our post-truth, postindustrial world is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation. It sometimes seems impossible to differentiate between truth and fals…
Apathie, traumatisme et guerre
L’attaque russe contre l’Ukraine a ouvert des questions sur les mécanismes psychologiques à l’œuvre dans les régimes postsocialistes, qui peuvent permettre d’expliquer la passivité des citoyens en Russie. Le régime autoritaire s’appuie sur l’apathie qui n’est pas différente de celle de l’ancien temps soviétique. Dans un pays où ce n’est plus un secret que le mensonge et la triche mènent au succès, pour beaucoup de gens l’apathie prend des formes …

Perversion and Forensic Science: Fraudulent Testimonies
The popular fascination with forensic science, DNA bio?banks and TV shows such as CSI have created a belief that the law can track down any criminal and that only a small sample from his or her body is needed to prove whether he or she is guilty or innocent. In recent years, however, there were a number of cases of forensic scientists tampering with DNA evidence. Psychoanalysis raises the question of whether such cases present us with individuals…
Society of Choice
Postindustrial society thrives on the idea of choice. The individual is not only perceived as able to choose among various consumer objects; he or she is also taken as someone who can choose his or her identity, sexual orientation, body shape, and so on. In the ideology of postindustrial capitalism, one's life is perceived as a work of art and as a particular kind of enterprise. The overemphasis of choice, however, does not seem to bring contentm…

On Anxiety
We frequently hear that we live in an age of anxiety, from 'therapy culture', the Atkins diet and child anti-depressants to gun culture and weapons of mass destruction. While Hollywood regularly cashes in on teenage anxiety through its Scream franchise, pharmaceutical companies churn out new drugs such as Paxil to combat newly diagnosed anxieties.On Anxiety takes a fascinating, psychological plunge behind the scenes of our panic stricken culture …

The Spoils of Freedom: Psychoanalysis, Feminism and Ideology after the Fall of Socialism
The rise of nationalist, racist and anti-feminist ideologies is one of the most frightening repercussions of the collapse of socialism. Using psychoanalytic theories of fantasy to investigate why such extremist ideologies have taken hold, Renata Salecl argues that the major social and political changes in post-communist Eastern Europe require a radical re-evaluation of notions of liberal theories of democracy. In doing so she offers a new approac…
The Exposure of Privacy in Today's Culture
TODAY it seems to be a universally accepted thesis that people have less and less privacy and that new technologies allow new invasions into people's private lives. However, when we complain about our endangered privacy, we often forget that the idea of privacy is a distinctly modern phenomenon and that contemporary understanding about the protection of privacy has evolved not despite new technologies, but because of them. Historians who deal wit…
The Arts of War and the War of Arts
Today's society is often referred to as the era of anxiety, since people increasingly experience uncertainties in their everyday lives. This article explores first the differences between fear and anxiety. Second, with the help of Lacanian psychoanalytic definition of anxiety, some examples of psychological breakdowns in wars are analyzed. And third, the attempts of contemporary military to create anxiety-free wars are confronted with similar tre…
Sexuation: Sic 3
(Per)Versions of Love and Hate
Book synopsis: A unique and timely intervention in contemporary debates on tolerance. \nWhy, when we are desperately in love, do we endlessly block union with our love object? Why do we often destroy what we love most? Why do we search out the impossible object? Is it that we desire things because they are unavailable, and therefore, to keep desire alive, we need to prevent its fulfillment? \n \nRenata Salecl explores the distributing and complex…

Gaze and Voice as Love Objects: Sic 1
The gaze entices, inspects, fascinates. The voice hypnotizes, seduces, disarms. Are gaze and voice part of the relationship we call love . . . or hate? If so, what part? How do they function? This provocative book examines love as the mediating entity in the essential antagonism between the sexes, and gaze and voice as love's medium. The contributors proceed from the Lacanian premise that there is no sexual relationship, that the sexes are in no …
