Lacan on Trauma and Causality
This article makes the case for the largely unacknowledged relevance of the thought of the French psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan, for the emerging field of the medical and/or health humanities. From the 1930s all the way through to the late 1970s, Lacan was deeply concerned with the ethical and political consequences of then-dominant conceptions of the human in the ‘psy’ disciplines. His attempt to ‘humanise’ these disciplines involved an emphasis …

Lacan's Sade
This article assesses the contemporary relevance of Sade's work and thought by returning to Jacques Lacan's interpretation of it. It is argued that if the Sadean emphasis on sexual freedom has been co-opted by neoliberal capitalism, this is in part thanks to avant-garde intellectuals of the twentieth century who approached Sade through a simplistically libidinal reading of Freud. By contrast, the article argues that Lacan's more sophisticated rea…
Happiness Studies and Wellbeing
Criticising the discourse of happiness and wellbeing from a psychoanalytic perspective, this article is in five parts. The first offers a brief philosophical genealogy of happiness, charting its diverse meanings from ancient Greece, through Medieval Scholasticism and on to bourgeois liberalism, utilitarianism and neoliberalism. The second contextualizes contemporary happiness in the wider milieu of self-help culture and positive psychology. The t…
Against Flourishing
This article critically analyzes what is at stake in the recenttranslation of the term ‘happiness’ into the inter-related terms ‘well-being’and ‘flourishing’ within Happiness Studies. Focussing on the work of MartinSeligman, the article argues that the category of ‘flourishing’ in particularhighlights Happiness Studies and positive psychology as a new, neoliberalinterpretation of utilitarianism. This is supported with reference to MichelFoucault’…
The violence of the new
Introduction
When, over thirty years ago, Ihab Hassan first coined the term ‘posthumanism’, he used it to describe an era in which ‘the human form — including human desire and all its external representations — may be changing radically, and thus must be revisioned.’ In the wake of the techno-scientific revolution, Hassan suggested, humanism was transforming itself into ‘something we must helplessly call “posthumanism” ’.1 ‘Posthumanism’ was therefore initial…
One Night Late Last Summer
Empire and after
In recent years there has been a sustained renewal of interest in national identity at a popular, political and academic level, and a striking common feature in each case has been the concern to differentiate between British and and to define a distinct sense of Englishness. The English flag (the cross of St. George as opposed to the flag of the United Kingdom, the Union Flag) has gained a currency inconceivable even ten years ago. Drawing togeth…
Representing and Intervening
Comment on Professor Jeffner's Paper
By far the most common term in Professor Jeffner's paper is ‘understanding’, and it is clearly with understanding that he is primarily concerned. However, at the beginning of his paper he talks of understanding and explanation, and at least in the case of his third kind of reality he clearly sees understanding and explanation as intimately related. In this he is surely right. I myself would say that understanding is cognizing a manifold as a sing…
Financing Public Goods and Residential Location
This article introduces public goods into a residential land use model and examines the locational consequences of alternative methods for financing such goods. Public goods are differentiated according to their spatial characteristics and the effects on rent and density gradients examined. The effects on rents and density are shown to differ according to whether the public goods are financed by benefit taxes, income taxes, property taxes, or lan…
Alternative Solutions for the Control of Production Externality in a General Equilibrium Model
Three recent contributions (Baumol, 1972; Negishi, 1972; Strotz and Wright, 1973) have re-established the classical or Pigou-Meade position on the control of production externalities in the face of some mistaken criticisms. Our object in this paper is to extend the model of Strotz and Wright in order (a) to make clearer than do Baumol or Negishi the consequences of alternative technological assumptions; (b) to specify behaviour so that the correc…
