Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Psychoanalysis, Culture and Society explores the intersection of psychoanalytic theory with cultural phenomena, including artificial intelligence, art history, and political movements. The journal examines concepts such as subjectivity, desire, the unconscious, and fantasy in relation to contemporary issues and historical figures. It also engages with psychoanalytic concepts like the sinthome, projective identification, and the de-oedipalization of the unconscious.
