Against the Personification of Democracy: A Lacanian Critique of Political Subjectivity
Wesley C. Swedlow
Offers a theory of political subjectivity that puts the dilemma of desire into the forefront. By using Lacan to read key figures in political philosophy, this book demonstrates why democratic theory is not only ineffective when it comes to the best form of political cohabitation, but also productive of destructive and self-defeating forces.
