As calls mount for resistance to recent political events, Simon Morgan Wortham rethinks how psychoanalysis, political thought and philosophy can be brought together. He explores the political implications and complexities of a psychoanalytic resistance through close readings of authors from within and outwith the psychoanalytic tradition.

In the context of contemporary debates around new materialisms and modes of existence that double as modes of resistance, Simon Morgan Wortham’s return to the disputes between Derrida and Lacan could not be more timely. The book is essential reading for anyone committed to the future of theory: from the strategic purchase of its analytic antinomies, aporias, frontings, unlockings, counterings, complaints, lapses, drifts and fleecings, to the understanding of what Wortham dubs, with decided flair, the 'complex' complex.
