Cultures of the Death Drive by Esther Snchezpardo
A comprehensive guide to the work of psychoanalyst Melanie Klein (1882-1960) and to developments in Kleinian theory. It offers an analysis and a demonstration of the distinctive usefulness of Klein's thought for understanding modernist literature and visual art.
“Cultures of the Death Drive offers a sustained consideration of Kleinian psychoanalysis for literary readingIt will doubtless open up psychoanalytic literary criticism to new and unsettling perspectives. I expect this book to have a singular and important effect on contemporary intellectual life.”—Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley
”Cultures of the Death Drive is a work of great learning and original thought. I believe it will be an important source book on Klein for beginners and adepts alike.”—Fredric R. Jameson, Duke University
