Reading with Muriel Dimen/Writing with Muriel Dimen

Reading with Muriel Dimen/Writing with Muriel Dimen: Experiments in Theorizing a Field is a collection of reading and writing experiments inspired by the late feminist psychoanalyst Muriel Dimen.Each of the six projects that comprise this volume explores a stylistic and thematic manner of reading and responding to Dimens work, challenging the field to write outside the standardized edition, and covering a remarkable breadth of essential analytic topics, such as sex, gender, money, love and hate, and boundary violations. As an homage to Dimens quest to engage the personal and the political in the authors craft, and in collaboration with Dimens endeavour to foster revolution across the psychosocial landscape that renders psychoanalysis its field, the authors offer readers a wild analysis of reading and writing.Providing a clear introduction to and exploration of Muriel Dimens groundbreaking work, this book will prove essential for scholars of psychoanalysis, cultural studies, and gender studies, as well as anyone seeking to understand Dimens influence on psychoanalytic practice today.
