Fantasy and Social Movements by J Ormrod
It is sometimes assumed that fantasizing stands in contrast to activism. This book, however, argues that fantasy plays a central role in social movements. Drawing on psychoanalysis and psychosocial theories, Fantasy and Social Movements examines the relationships between fantasy, reality, action, the unconscious and the collective.James S. Ormrod is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Brighton, UK. His research focuses on social movements and psychosocial theory, and on the relationship humans have with their environment and with the universe more generally. He is co-author, with Peter Dickens, of Cosmic Society: Towards a Sociology of the Universe.
