{"product_id":"book-hepl","title":"The Environmental Unconscious","description":"Why has psychoanalysis long been kept at the margins of environmental criticism despite the theories of eco-Marxism, queer ecology, and eco-deconstruction available today? What is unique, possibly even traumatic, about eco-psychoanalysis? \u003ci\u003eThe Environmental Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e addresses these questions as it provides an innovative and theoretical account of environmental loss focused on the counterintuitive forms of enjoyment that early modern poetry and psychoanalysis jointly theorize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteven Swarbrick urges literary critics and environmental scholars to rethink notions of entanglement, animacy, and consciousness raising. Through close readings of Edmund Spenser, Walter Ralegh, Andrew Marvell, and John Milton, he reveals a world of matter that is not merely hyperconnected, as in the new materialism, but porous and off-kilter. And yet the loss these poets reveal is central to the enjoyment their works offer—and that nature offers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Environmental Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e offers a provocative challenge to ecocriticism that a new theory of \u003ci\u003edis\u003c\/i\u003econnection is desperately needed. Tracing the propulsive force of the environmental unconscious from the early modern period to Freudian and post-Freudian theories of desire, Swarbrick not only puts nature on the couch in this book but also renews the psychoanalytic toolkit in light of environmental collapse.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49354139992368,"sku":"BDhepl","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49354140090672,"sku":"ZEhepl","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49354140123440,"sku":"ZMhepl","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hepl-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780335396","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hepl","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
