Beschreibung:
Does the Internet Have an Unconscious? is both an introduction to the work of Slavoj ¿i¿ek and an investigation into how his work can be used to think about the digital present.Clint Burnham uniquely combines the German idealism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and Marxist materialism found in ¿i¿ek's thought to understand how the Internet, social and new media, and digital cultural forms work in our lives and how their failure to work structures our pathologies and fantasies. He suggests that our failure to properly understand the digital is due to our lack of recognition of its political, aesthetic, and psycho-sexual elements.Mixing autobiographical passages with critical analysis, Burnham situates a ¿i¿ekian theory of digital culture in the lived human body.
Explores the digital through relatively unexplored avenues of inquiry: idealism, psychoanalysis, and materialism
