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.
