Description: Does suffering have meaning? The leading scholars and practitioners in Meaningless Suffering engage with this haunting human question through the lenses of psychoanalytic phenomenological and ethical discourse all the while holding contemporary social concerns in full view.

Meaningless Suffering is bookended by powerful pieces by Mari Ruti and Homi K. Bhabha and in the intervening chapters the reader traverses the ideas of Augustine Judith Butler Fanon Foucault Freud Gendlin Heidegger Lacan Levinas and Wittgenstein to pass through the realms of classical thought affect theory phenomenology linguistic studies relational psychoanalysis somatic studies intersubjectivity theory gender studies critical theory and philosophical hermeneutics. This book is essential reading for postgraduate students scholars and practitioners working at the intersection of psychoanalysis race politics and culture as well as students of cultural studies the humanities politics psychology psychosocial studies sociology and social work.
