This essay attempts to counteract this assumption through an analysis of case histories and research publications by twentieth-century psychoanalysts and psychologists, which demonstrate the ways in which even the most ephemeral psychological experiences – dreams, fantasies, desires – are bound up with structural forms of oppression.</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Mournful Militancy</title><link>https://www.e-flux.com/architecture/superhumanity/179226/mournful-militancy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.e-flux.com/architecture/superhumanity/179226/mournful-militancy/</guid><description>This essay returns to Douglas Crimp&apos;s 1989 essay &apos;Mourning and Militancy&apos; asking how it is possible to mourn, which (at least in Freud&apos;s definition) implies the possibility of moving on from the original traumatic event, in the face of glaring social injustice?
