Series Statement:
Psychoanalytic political theory
Content:
Nathan Gerard draws upon the pathbreaking insights of pediatrician and psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott to offer a new set of ideas in the novel domain of contemporary work life and its discontents. Locating Winnicott within a broad landscape of critical scholarship that dissects work's perils, the book positions Winnicott as both a radical critic and creative advocate for building a different kind of work life--one that might make room for the presence of self. By shuffling the discourse on neoliberal subjectivity to reclaim what Winnicott calls unit status of the separate self, Gerard differentiates Winnicott from the relational tradition by advocating for Winnicott's non-relational aspects. Through such analysis, the book reveals how work and home have become two sides of the same impoverished coin, each contributing to a legitimately bad environment that perpetuates self-absence and annihilates one's unique sense of feeling real and alive. Winnicott and Labor's Eclipse of Life will be of interest to readers of Winnicott and psychoanalysis, organization and management studies, and anyone hoping to deepen their engagement with the dynamics of contemporary work life.
