Beskrivning
In Writings for a Liberation Psychoanalysis, Robert K. Beshara establishes a groundbreaking framework that links the Freudo-Lacanian tradition directly to transmodernity and decoloniality. Traditional psychoanalytic institutions have long been tethered to colonial logic, often pathologizing the marginalized rather than challenging the structures that oppress them, but Beshara shows how psychoanalysis can be a tool for liberation.By re-thinking psychoanalysis from the Exterior perspective of the oppressed, Beshara argues that the radical seeds of liberation are extimate or already present within the praxis—waiting to be activated through ethical listening and free association. This work synthesizes the transformative insights of scholars such as Edward Said, Paulo Freire, and Enrique Dussel to develop a “Psychoanalysis of the Oppressed” or “Liberation Psychoanalysis.” More than just a theoretical intervention, this book offers a roadmap for liberation as an analectical materialist praxis—a way to theorize oppression and prefigure a concrete utopian horizon by politicizing the unconscious from within the core of a crumbling empire.This book is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students, scholars, and professionals interested in psychoanalysis, liberation, and decoloniality. It would be particularly suitable for courses on Liberation Philosophy, Liberation Psychology, Decoloniality, Postcolonialism, and Radical Psychoanalysis.

Recensioner i media

“After his first two books, Decolonial Psychoanalysis and Freud and Said, Robert Beshara begins again and again… This third book, Writings for a Liberation Psychoanalysis, is the return of psychoanalysis to its revolutionary potentials via an ethics of the social. Beshara joins the reader on a magical carpet voyage, one that is turbulent, disturbing, desirous, and transformative, but above all, libidinized by an internal sense of radical hope. It is a voyage from Djehuty and Ibn Rushd to Freud, Lacan, and Said towards the impossibility of love within capitalism. What remains unapologetically clear throughout the book is Beshara’s commitment to an ethics of liberation psychoanalysis.”- Gohar Homayounpour, author of Persian Blues, Psychoanalysis and Mourning“Psychoanalysis beyond alienation and beyond existential fatalism! Liberation psychoanalysis as revolutionary love… This book outlines the lesser travelled path in the psychoanalytic field, which has today either become an esoteric practice or a discourse of mastery. Beshara reminds us that it is neither, nor that it continues to harbor a future promise for humanity. A must read for the dark times ahead…”- Nadia Bou Ali, Associate Professor, Critical Humanities for the Liberal Arts CHLA, University of Beirut; author of Psychoanalysis and the Love of Arabic: Hall of Mirrors
