Noëlle McAfee je profesorkou filozofie a ředitelkou Psychoanalytického studijního programu na Emory University. Její díla se zabývají průsečíkem filozofie, politiky a psychoanalýzy, zkoumají, jak nevědomé síly ovlivňují naše občanské životy a politické systémy. McAfee se soustředí na zpochybňování tradičních demokratických modelů prostřednictvím hluboké analýzy myšlenek klíčových filozofů a psychoanalytiků.
Focusing on Julia Kristeva's influential theories, this book delves into her explorations of language, textuality, and the complexities of subjectivity. It addresses her perspectives on feminism and sexuality, as well as her insights into politics, identity, and nationality. Through a comprehensive analysis, readers gain a deeper understanding of Kristeva's contributions to contemporary thought and her impact on various fields of study.
Noelle McAfee uses psychoanalytic theory to explore the subterranean anxieties behind current crises and the ways in which democratic practices can help work through seemingly intractable political conflicts. Fear of Breakdown contends that politics needs something that only psychoanalysis has been able to offer.
