Both also viewed the transference as a social phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn The Structures of Love James Penney argues that transference is the concept with which psychoanalysis thinks through the unconscious demands that circumscribe and can sabotage our creative initiatives in the arts and politics. Penney suggests a method of cultural analysis that enables us to identity the transformative potential of genuine artistic and political acts. He stages a dialogue between Lacan's psychoanalysis and the philosophy of Alain Badiou; includes chapters on Frantz Fanon and Jean Genet, Chantal Akerman and Lucien Freud; and explores the aesthetic, political, and ethical consequences of the transference idea, pushing it into exciting new territory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46347855429711,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":1293.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9781438439723","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
