This book investigates how we continue to live in the Freudian century, turning its attentions to specific crisis points within neoliberalism--the rise of figures like Trump, the development of social media as a new superego force, the economics that underpin the wellness and self-care industries as well as the contemporary consumption of popular culture--to maintain the continued historical importance of Freudian thought in all its dimensions. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, literary theory, cultural studies, and political theory, this book assesses the contribution that an historical and theoretical consideration of the late Freud can make to analyzing certain aspects of late capital Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 20, 2020) Subject Freud, Sigmund, 1856-1939 -- Political and social views.
