Whereas Freud and Fromm were important cornerstones for the early Frankfurt School, recent thinkers have drawn on the object-relations school of psychoanalysis. \u003ci\u003eTransitional Subjects\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book-length collection devoted to the engagement of critical theory with the work of Melanie Klein, Donald Winnicott, and other members of this school. Featuring contributions from some of the leading figures working in both of these fields, including Axel Honneth, Joel Whitebook, Noëlle McAfee, Sara Beardsworth, and C. Fred Alford, it provides a synoptic overview of current research at the intersection of these two theoretical traditions while also opening up space for further innovations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransitional Subjects\u003c\/i\u003e offers a range of perspectives on the critical potential of object-relations psychoanalysis, including feminist and Marxist views, to offer valuable insight into such fraught social issues as aggression, narcissism, \"progress,\" and torture. The productive dialogue that emerges augments our understanding of the self as intersubjectively and socially constituted and of contemporary \"social pathologies.\" \u003ci\u003eTransitional Subjects\u003c\/i\u003e shows how critical theory and object-relations psychoanalysis, considered together, have not only enriched critical theory but also invigorated psychoanalysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Allen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions in Critical Theory #67\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.7lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.60w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231183192","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45265330012297,"sku":"9780231183192","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_48cd4faa-5c14-457a-96f7-8fdb135f9af6.jpg?v=1771311425","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/transitional-subjects-critical-theory-and-object-relations-9780231183192","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
