Begehren, Sexualität, Intimität und Affektivität sind feinmaschig in die spätkapitalistische Matrix des Sozialen eingewebt. Die Studie untersucht die politische Ökonomie des Begehrens nach 1968. Sie unternimmt einen Streifzug quer durch die Philosophiegeschichte – von Platon über die Psychoanalyse zum Poststrukturalismus. Dabei geht sie von der Annahme aus, dass Ökonomie einen konstitutiven Faktor darstellt, wenn man Begehren begreifen will. Umgekehrt lassen sich sozioökonomische Strukturen nicht ohne die Rolle des Begehrens verstehen. Begehren wirkt sozialmobilisierend, indem es normative Ordnungen sowohl errichten und aufrechterhalten als auch überschreiten kann. Neben paradigmatischen Positionen von Platon, Georg W. F. Hegel, Friedrich Nietzsche und Sigmund Freud werden begehrensökonomische Thesen von Gilles Deleuze und Félix Guattari und der im Paris von Mai ’68 aufkommenden Philosophie des Begehrens betrachtet. During the political upheaval of 1968, a frequent topic of conversation was how economics rules desire and how desire drives capitalism. This study investigates the relationship between desire and economics based on paradigmatic positions in the history of philosophy. It also suggests ways to update the claims of Deleuze and Guattari’s Anti-Oedipus for late-stage capitalism.

Serge Cottet, che i lettori italiani già conoscono per il suo libro Freud e il desiderio dello psicoanalista (Borla, Roma, 2011) è stato un importante psicoanalista lacaniano, membro dell’École de la Cause freudienne dal momento della sua fondazione, dell’Associazione Mondiale di Psicoanalisi e docente presso il Dipartimento di Psicoanalisi dell’Università di Parigi VIII. Per molti anni ha portato avanti, con alcuni colleghi fra i quali Francesca Biagi-Chai, la pratica della “presentazione dei malati” in ospedale e ha contribuito alla formazione dispensata nel Centro Psicoanalitico di Consultazioni e di Trattamento di Parigi. Al di là di queste funzioni e dei relativi titoli, che indossava con assoluta leggerezza, Serge Cottet è stato un punto di riferimento importante per molti giovani che si sono formati alla psicoanalisi lacaniana, dagli anni ’80 al 2017, e che sono giunti a Parigi dall’America Latina, dall’Europa e da altri paesi del mondo.Con il suo impegno e con i suoi articoli, Serge Cottet mostra in atto che la psicoanalisi lacaniana, il suo discorso, la sua vitalità stessa dipendono dalla responsabilità e dal desiderio dell’analista, di ogni analista, uno per uno. Di fronte al disagio contemporaneo, all’impero del capitalismo e della tecnocrazia scientifica, il suo rigore e il suo desiderio nella trasmissione della psicoanalisi lacaniana permettono l’apertura di uno spazio – vitale – di ascolto e di crescita. Lacan cita l’esperienza dialettica in gioco nel Wilhelm Meister, in cui si riscontra una versione del linguaggio al contempo mortificante e vivificante. Questa dialettica “aggancia ciascuno di noi ad un lembo di discorso più vivo della sua stessa vita, se è vero, come dice Goethe, che quando ‘ciò che è senza vita è vivente, può anche produrre la vita’ ”. Aggiunge poi: “di questo lembo di discorso ciascuno di noi […] è condannato […] a farsene alfabeto vivente”. (“Gli anni di apprendimento della psicoanalisi”)

"Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Thomas Wolfe (1900-38) was one of the most influential southern writers, regularly considered a rival of his contemporary William Faulkner-who believed Wolfe to be one of the greatest talents of their generation. His novels-including Look Homeward, Angel (1929), Of Time and the River (1935), and the posthumously published The Web and the Rock (1939) and You Can't Go Home Again (1940)-remain touchstones of U.S. literature. In Look Abroad, Angel, Jedidiah Evans uncovers the "global Wolfe," reconfiguring Wolfe's supposedly intractable homesickness for the American South as a form of longing that is instead indeterminate and expansive. Instead of promoting and reinforcing a narrow and cloistered formulation of the writer as merely southern or Appalachian, Evans places Wolfe in transnational contexts, examining Wolfe's impact and influence throughout Europe. In doing so, he de-territorializes the response to Wolfe's work, revealing the writer as a fundamentally global presence within American literature"--

A meditation on the conversions, betrayals, and divine revelations of motherhood. What if Augustine's Confessions had been written not by a man, but by a mother? How might her tales of desire, temptation, and transformation differ from his? In this memoir, Natalie Carnes describes giving birth to a daughter and beginning a story of conversion strikingly unlike Augustine's—even as his journey becomes a surprising companion to her own. The challenges Carnes recounts will be familiar to many parents. She wonders what and how much she should ask her daughter to suffer in resisting racism, patriarchy, and injustice. She wrestles with an impulse to compel her child to flourish, and reflects on what this desire reveals about human freedom. She negotiates the conflicting demands of a religiously divided home, a working motherhood, and a variety of social expectations, and traces the hopes and anxieties such negotiations expose. The demands of motherhood continually open for her new modes of reflection about deep Christian commitments and age-old human questions. Addressing first her child and then her God, Carnes narrates how a child she once held within her body grows increasingly separate, provoking painful but generative change. Having given birth, she finds that she herself is reborn.
