The Psychopolitics of Food probes into the contemporary foodscape, examining culinary practices and food habits and in particular the ways in which they conflate with neoliberal political economy. It suggests that generic alimentary and culinary practices constitute technologies of the self and the body and argues that the contemporary preoccupation with food takes the form of rites of passage that express and mark the transition from a specific stage of neoliberal development to another vis-a-vis a re-configuration of the alimentary and sexual regimes.
Even though these rites of...

Since the very first co-operative school opened its doors in 2008, the complicated relations between co-operative approaches to schooling and democratic subjectivity remain unexplored. This ground breaking book considers the role of voice in co-operative schooling and its place in radical research, offering an original, critical analysis of an alternative model of co-operative schooling set within the context of the contemporary public education sector in England.

The methods developed by Freud and Marx have enabled a range of scholars to critically reflect upon the ideological underpinnings of modern and now postmodern or hypermodern western societies. In this intriguing book, the discipline of psychology itself is screened through the twin dynamics of Marxism and psychoanalysis. David Pavon-Cuellar asks to what extent the terms, concerns and goals of psychology reflect, in fact, the dominant bourgeois ideology that has allowed it to flourish.
The book charts a gradual psychologization within society and culture dating from the nineteenth...

Within a critical analysis of the subjugation of certain knowledges, it investigates in particular the role that psychology and psychiatry have played in the...
