EXPLORATIONS IN PSYCHOANALYTIC ETHNOGRAPHY
Edited by Jadran Mimica

Summary
Whereas most anthropological research is grounded in social, cultural and
biological
analysis of the human condition, this volume opens up a different approach: its
concerns
are the psychic depths of human cultural life-worlds as explored through
psycho-analytic
practice and/or the psychoanalytically framed ethnographic project. In fact,
some
contributors here argue that the anthropological interpretation of human
existence is not
sustainable without psychoanalysis; others take a less extreme radical stance
but still
maintain that the unconscious matrix of the human psyche and of the
intersubjective
(social) reality of any given cultural life-world is a vital domain of
anthropological and
sociological inquiry and understanding.
