| Extra Info | : | Please join us at the Karnac Bookshop to celebrate publication of Media and Psychoanalysis by Jacob Johanssen and Steffen Krüger. ABOUT THE BOOK: “Media and Psychoanalysis: A Critical Introduction is a major contribution to the field of media studies. It presents a very well-researched and accessible study of human engagement with contemporary media through the lens of psychoanalysis. The authors explore how different media incite and organise our desire for recognition and forms of relating that involve a complex balance between activity and passivity, fantasy play and reality testing. They offer radically new ways to understand the social and political implications – positive and negative – arising from our interactions with these diverse forms.” - Professor Emeritus Elizabeth Cowie, Film Studies, University of Kent. ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Jacob Johanssen is Associate Professor in Communications, St. Mary's University (London). He is co-editor of the Counterspace section of the journal Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society and a founder scholar of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). Steffen Krüger is Senior Lecturer at the Department of Media and Communication, and Head of the Screen Cultures MA programme and research initiative, both at the University of Oslo.
