Parveen Adams
Parveen Adams (born 1939) is a British psychoanalytic theorist and feminist. She was a cofounder, editor and contributor to the British socialist feminist journal '' m/f''. Since then she has moved to apply psychoanalytic notions to art criticism. Life In the 1970s Adams was in a Lacanian reading group with the artist Mary Kelly, and was interested in using Lacanian psychoanalysis to link sexual politics to the Marxist (Althusserian) notion of ideology. In 1976 she collaborated with Kelly, Laura Mulvey and Sue Lipschitz in leading an ICA seminar defending their use of Lacan against the accusation that he was a patriarchal theorist. In 1978 Adams cofounded ''m/f'' with Elizabeth Cowie. She continued to be involved with the journal as editor and contributor through its publication from 1978 to 1986. She taught psychoanalysis, and directed the MA in Psychoanalytic Studies, at the Department of Human Sciences at Brunel University. She was also on the teaching staff of the Londo ...

Socialist Feminist
Socialist feminism rose in the 1960s and 1970s as an offshoot of the feminist movement and New Left that focuses upon the interconnectivity of the patriarchy and capitalism. However, the ways in which women's private, domestic, and public roles in society has been conceptualized, or thought about, can be traced back to Mary Wollstonecraft's ''A Vindication of the Rights of Woman'' (1792) and William Thompson's utopian socialist work in the 1800s. Ideas about overcoming the patriarchy by coming together in female groups to talk about personal problems stem from Carol Hanisch. This was done in an essay in 1969 which later coined the term 'the personal is political.' This was also the time that second wave feminism started to surface which is really when socialist feminism kicked off. Socialist feminists argue that liberation can only be achieved by working to end both the economic and cultural sources of women's oppression. Socialist feminism is a two-pronged theory that broadens ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jacques Lacan
Jacques Marie Émile Lacan (, , ; 13 April 1901 – 9 September 1981) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist. Described as "the most controversial psycho-analyst since Freud", Lacan gave yearly seminars in Paris from 1953 to 1981, and published papers that were later collected in the book ''Écrits''. His work made a significant impact on continental philosophy and cultural theory in areas such as post-structuralism, critical theory, feminist theory and film theory, as well as on the practice of psychoanalysis itself. Lacan took up and discussed the whole range of Freudian concepts, emphasizing the philosophical dimension of Freud's thought and applying concepts derived from structuralism in linguistics and anthropology to its development in his own work, which he would further augment by employing formulae from predicate logic and topology. Taking this new direction, and introducing controversial innovations in clinical practice, led to expulsion for Lacan and his foll ...
