Description:Provocative exploration of a new concept of “joy” within psychoanalytic and cultural studies.This provocative book introduces a new concept of “joy” within psychoanalytic and cultural studies that provides a different way of understanding the structures of affect produced by shifts in contemporary culture and economy. In so doing, the author offers a radically refigured Lacanianism that is developed through a critical reading of Deleuze.“One of the most exciting, provocative, and creative theoretical works in psychoanalysis and cultural studies today. Scott Wilson elaborates a wholly original idea, the treatment of ‘joy’ as an ‘arche-concept’ radically de-territorialized and freed from the orthodoxies of Lacanian jouissance or Barthesian pleasure, now able to ‘hook up’ with practically every relevant theorist who could have something to contribute to an analysis of global consumer capitalism. This is a unique work that raises central questions for media theory, political theory, literary and film studies, and psychoanalysis. It provides a compelling alternative to the hegemony of Zðizûek in cultural studies.” — Diane Rubenstein, author of This Is Not a Sense, Nonsense, and the American Political Imaginary“Wilson’s insightful argument is buttressed not only by his deft treatment of theory taken from works by Deleuze, Foucault, Lacan, and others but also by a host of diverse and striking examples drawn from popular culture. References from the music of Iggy Pop, to the films Trainspotting, Memento, and Fight Club, to the phenomena of heroin addiction and anorexia, and to television programs such as The Office serve to sharpen his argument and illustrate it convincingly.” — Leslie Anne Boldt-Irons, editor of On Critical EssaysScott Wilson is Reader in Cultural Theory at Lancaster University in England.
