Description: Comparative case studies reveal the multiple relations between psychoanalysis and globalization, showing how imperial ideologies were incorporated into early psychoanalytic theory, and how psychoanalysis has been reconfigured to critique imperialism.
Review Quotes: "Unconscious Dominions is a unique, groundbreaking conversation on globalization and psychoanalysis. Internationally respected scholars take on terrific historical questions, vital conceptual puzzles, and pressing social relations in the process of revealing the psychoanalytic unconscious to be both a mobile mechanism of empire and an opportunity for the liberation from empire."--Elizabeth A. Povinelli, author of Economies of Abandonment: Social Belonging and Endurance in Late Liberalism
