Arguing With the Phallus by Jan Campbell
The contribution of psychoanalysis to theories in feminism, gay and lesbian studies and postcolonialism is evaluated here, along with a possibility of renegotiation of the symbolic system of psychoanalysis as a valuable method of interpreting cultural theory.
'A subtle, well-informed and lucid bringing-together of strands of psychoanalysis that have been kept apart for too long' Andrew Samuels, University of Essex 'A remarkable achievement, as much for its engagement with an astonishing range of debates within and beyond psychoanalysis, as for its impassioned commitment to feminist, queer and postcolonial politics.' Steve Pile, senior lecturer, Faculty of Social Sciences, Open University 'Jan Campbell has made a bold intervention in a rich and complex area of debate. Arguing with the Phallus is argumentative in the best sense, scrupulous in its dealings with the work of other theorists while making its own powerful case.' Pete Nicholls, University of Sussex
Jan Campbell teaches in the Department of Cultural Studies at the University of Birmingham
