History After Lacan

Teresa Brennan

This is the story of a social psychosis. It begins by recovering Lacan’s neglected theory of history. Contrary to received views, Lacan was not an ahistorical poststructuralist. Rather, he argues that we are in the grip of an ego’s era—an era that begins in the seventeenth century and climaxes in the present, leaving us all fairly mad. History After Lacan draws on psychoanalysis, political economy and feminism. It argues that the psychical fantasies analyzed not only by Lacan but also by Freud and especially Melanie Klein are microcosms of the macrocosmic process at work in the ego’s era. Brennan brings these different psychoanalytic theories together in her concept of the ‘foundational fantasy’.
