Subject to Ourselves: Social Theory, Psychoanalysis and Postmodernity by Anthony Elliott

by Anthony Elliott

The revised edition of Subject to Ourselves, a lively and provocative book that was a leader on its topic in England, uses psychoanalytic theory as the basis for a fresh reassessment of the nature of modernity and postmodernism. Analyzing changing experiences of selfhood, desire, interpersonal relations, culture and globalization, the author develops a novel account of postmodernity that supplants current understandings of 'fragmented selves'.
