Opis

Unconscious Incarnations considers the status of the body in psychoanalytic theory and practice, bringing Freud and Lacan into conversation with continental philosophy to explore the heterogeneity of embodied life. By doing so, the body is no longer merely an object of scientific inquiry but also a lived body, a source of excessive intuition and affectivity, and a raw animality distinct from mere materiality.

Recenzje

"Unconscious Incarnations belongs among those books that push thought in new directions. The engagement of a series of questions and answers between phenomenology and psychoanalysis has rarely been so perfectly conducted. In this work, incorporation takes precedence over the standard phenomenological notion of incarnation. No longer content with this "flesh" as "lived body," this work addresses the "real body," or the "flesh" understood as an organic life that supports our passions and desires. Wounds and scars of the body, flesh and das Ding, body and desire, imaginary body and objectified body: In each of these themes we discover being born a new fecundity between psychoanalysis and phenomenology. This work, undoubtedly, will serve to break new ground."-Emmanuel Falque, Honorary Dean, Catholic University of Paris.
