| Description: | Select Guide Rating Psychoanalysis and Euripides' Suppliant Women applies the ‘tragic’ reading of politics, presented by Euripides in his play, The Suppliant Women, to the contemporary world. This book allows for a deeper understanding of the pathological modes of mental functioning that manifest in politics. Psychoanalysis and Euripides'' Suppliant Women applies the "tragic" reading of politics, presented by Euripides in his play, The Suppliant Women, to the contemporary world. Manolopoulos presents a psychoanalytic assessment of the key themes of the play, considering the phenomenon of hubris in public life indirectly, through its transformation in tragic poetry. Psychoanalysis and Euripides’ Suppliant Women goes on to consider how the foundations of the polis are linked to the integration of the work of mourning and the feminine core of existence, and how the aims of scholars who study the play correspond to psychoanalysis’ work towards understanding the psychic and social reality of politics. This book allows for a deeper understanding of the pathological modes of mental functioning that manifest in politics. It will be of interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training and academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, politics, and classical studies. |
