Losing Your Head: Abjection, Aesthetic Conflict, and Psychoanalytic Criticism

by Giuseppe Civitarese

Losing Your Head looks at the subject of beheading in art as a trope of the destruction of the mind. It focuses on new psychoanalytic tools that aid in understanding how a mind is born and grows, as well as what art can teach psychoanalysts about their work.
