The Emotional Tie: Psychoanalysis, Mimesis, and Affect

by Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen

Book Overview

The eight essays collected here extend the author's re-evaluation of the philosophical underpinnings of psychoanalysis and thereby develop his arguments for increased attention to the role of affect - of the emotional tie, in our conceptions of the psychoanalytic subject. The author analyses the political and ethical implications of Freud's work in the first part, Freudian Politics.
