The Capitalist Unconscious: Marx and Lacan

A major systematic study of the connection between Marx and Lacanâ€™s work

Finalist for the American Board and Academy of Psychoanalysis Book Prize

Despite a resurgence of interest in Lacanian psychoanalysis, particularly in terms of the light it casts on capitalist ideologyâ€”as witnessed by the work of Slavoj ÂŽiÂžekâ€”there remain remarkably few systematic accounts of the role of Marx in Lacanâ€™s work.

A major, comprehensive study of the connection between their work, The Capitalist Unconscious resituates Marx in the broader context of Lacanâ€™s teaching and insists on the capacity of psychoanalysis to reaffirm dialectical and materialist thought. Lacanâ€™s unorthodox reading of Marx refigured such crucial concepts as alienation, jouissance and the Freudian â€˜labour theory of the unconsciousâ€™. Tracing these developments, TomÅ¡iÄÂ maintains that psychoanalysis, structuralism and the critique of political economy participate in the same movement of thought; his book shows how to follow this movement through to some of its most important conclusions.
