Psychoanalysis, Psychosis, and Postmodernism
通过拉康和比昂对精神病的描述,审视后现代主义将精神病视为当代个人体验模型的观点,指出尽管现代性某些方面与精神病过程相似,但精神病仍是病理状态。
Postmodernist accounts of culture have referred to psychoanalytic descriptions of psychosis to support their claim that psychosis provides a model of contemporary personal experiences. In some cases, such as "schizoanalysis," this has led to a celebration of psychosis as a revolutionary process. This article examines these claims through a reading of the descriptions of psychosis given by Lacan and Bion, and argues that while some aspects of modernity are resonant of psychotic processes, psychosis remains a pathological state.
