Diana Fuss seeks to understand where this notion of identification has come from, and why it has emerged as one of the most difficult problems in contemporary theory and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIdentification Papers\u003c\/em\u003e situates the recent critical interest in identification in the intellectual tradition that first gave the idea its theoretical relevance: psychoanalysis. Fuss begins from the assumption that identification has a history, and that the term carries with it a host of theoretical problems, conceptual difficulties, and ideological complications. By tracking the evolution of identification in Freud's work over a forty year period, Fuss demonstrates how the concept of identification is neither a theoretically neutral notion nor a politically innocent one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIdentification Papers\u003c\/em\u003e closely examines the three principal figures -- gravity, ingestion, and infection -- that psychoanalysis invokes to theorize identification. Fuss then deconstructs the psychoanalytic theory of identification in order to open up the possibility of more innovative rethinkings of the political.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on literature, film, and Freud's own case histories, and engaging with a wide range of disciplines -- including critical theory, philosophy, film theory, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, and feminism -- \u003cem\u003eIdentification Papers\u003c\/em\u003e will be a necessary starting point in any future theoretical project that seeks to mobilize the concept of identification for a feminist politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.42 x 8.98 x 6.01 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 08, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47412386496761,"sku":"9780415908863","price":85.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/82XVfpm3nh9780415908863.webp?v=1770840222","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/identification-papers-readings-on-psychoanalysis-sexuality-and-culture-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
