Description
"Jouissance as Ananda seeks to resolve the often problematic Western concept of the ego by proposing a cross-cultural theory of consciousness that draws on Indian philosophy. Ashmita Khasnabish begins with a critique of Western psychoanalysis, engaging French feminist philosopher Luce Irigaray's concept of jouissance to highlight shortcomings in the work of Freud and Lacan. Khasnabish then seeks to expand the idea of jouissance by comparing it with the Indian concept of ananda. This highly theoretical analysis of philosophical and psychoanalytic terms is combined with an examination of colonial and postcolonial literature."--BOOK JACKET.
