Exploring Psychoanalytic Sociology
The podcast discusses the emergence of a new theoretical framework in sociology that integrates psychoanalytic concepts with social analysis, as presented in Dwayne Roussel's recent book, 'Psychoanalytic Sociology: A New Theory of the Social Bond.' This approach seeks to understand the complexities of social relationships through the lens of psychoanalysis, particularly focusing on how individuals navigate their social bonds amidst various forms of identity and normativity. Roussel highlights the importance of understanding psychic structures and how they influence our perceptions and interactions within society. This psychoanalytic perspective provides a unique way to explore the subtle dynamics and ambiguities inherent in social bonds and collective experiences.
