Provides the foundations for a new form of psychoanalysis appropriate to the subject of the twenty-first century.

A Psychoanalysis for a Reemergent Humanity presents and elaborates upon the mature thought of the Haitian-Quebecois analyst Willy Apollon. Apollon's work amounts to a thorough revision of the fundamental concepts of Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalysis in view of the situation of the human subject today, in an age of global cultural conflict and interpenetration that he calls ""mondialisation."" This landmark volume brings together a new foundational text by Apollon, seven original essays, including by Apollon's longtime collaborators Danielle Bergeron and volume coeditor Lucie Cantin, and an interview with Apollon. Synthesizing clinical, cultural-historical, and aesthetic perspectives, contributors offer rich redefinitions of the unconscious, the imaginary-symbolic-real triad, masculine and feminine, puberty and adolescence, address and transference, the symptom, the fantasy, and more. As distinct cultures and civilizations crumble, the world as a whole and the human emerge in a new way. A Psychoanalysis for a Reemergent Humanity meets this moment, positioning spirit as a crucial term for a human creativity that exceeds any given culture.

Reviews for A Psychoanalysis for a Reemergent Humanity: The Metapsychology of Willy Apollon

""Combining new work by Willy Apollon with exegeses by numerous luminaries, A Psychoanalysis for a Reemergent Humanity is sure to be well-received by psychoanalytic theorists and clinicians, as well as scholars interested in aesthetics, linguistics, and the youth mental health epidemic. It is a hefty work, collating smart writers, and will profitably advance the intellectual and social metabolism of post-Lacanian psychoanalysis."" — Anna Kornbluh, author of Immediacy; or, The Cultural Style of Too-Late Capitalism
