Digital Media, Psychoanalysis and the Subject*<br>
***Editors: Jacob Johanssen (University of Westminster), Steffen
Krüger (University of Oslo)*<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We are very pleased to announce the publication of the special
issue Digital Media, Psychoanalysis and the Subject, published by
the open access journal /CM: Communication and Media/.<br>
<br>
This is the first-ever special issue of a media and communication
journal that addresses questions of subjectivity, digital media
and the Internet with a focus on psychoanalytic theory.<br>
<br>
The contributing authors seek to reassess and reinvigorate
psychoanalytic thinking in media and communication studies. They
undertake this reassessment with a particular focus on the
question of what psychoanalytic concepts, theories and modes of
inquiry can contribute to the study of contemporary digital media.<br>
<br>
The collection features a broad range of psychoanalytic approaches
- from Freudian, via Kleinian and relational, to Lacanian and
Jungian - and covers a wide range of issues - from the uses (and
abuses) of the mobile phone and other digital devices, the
circulation of traumatising images and anxiety-inducing tracking
apps, via hysteric feminist discourses, digital fetishes and the
exploitation of YouTube celebrities, to the meaning of the
gangbang in a priapistic media culture and this culture's
emptying-out of meaning towards its climax in a cosmic spasm...<br>
<br>
We hope that colleagues will find this collection informative and
engaging and a helpful resource for their own work.<br>
