"Ian Parker has been a leading light in the fields of critical and discursive psychology for over 25 years. The Psychology After Critique series brings together for the first time his most important papers. Each volume in the series has been prepared by Ian Parker and presents a newly written introduction and focused overview of a key topic area. Psychology After Discourse Analysis is the third volume in the series and addresses three central questions: - How did discourse analysis develop inside psychology? - How does discursive psychology address concerns about the traditional 'laboratory experiment' paradigm in psychology? - What is the future for discourse analysis? The book provides a clear account of the various forms of discourse analysis that have been used within psychology, and provides a review of their significance for a new generation of psychologists. The early chapters present a framework for understanding the origins of these various forms, as well as the differences between them. Emphasizing the gap between discursive psychology and mainstream psychology, Parker then explores relations between discourse analysis, psychoanalysis, social constructionism and the postmodern turn in the social sciences. The final chapters describe the limitations of discourse analysis and explore its flaws as a framework and as a practice, questioning its future within academia and in political and social contexts beyond psychology. Psychology After Discourse Analysis is essential reading for students and researchers in psychology, sociology, social anthropology and cultural studies, and for discourse analysts of different traditions. It will also introduce key ideas and debates within critical psychology to undergraduates and postgraduate students across the social sciences"--

"Ian Parker has been a leading light in the fields of critical and discursive psychology for over 25 years. The Psychology After Critique series brings together for the first time his most important papers. Psychology After Deconstruction is the second volume in the series and addresses three important questions: - What is 'deconstruction' and how does it apply to psychology? - How does deconstruction radicalize social constructionist approaches in psychology? - What is the future for radical conceptual and empirical research? The book provides a clear account of deconstruction, and the different varieties of this approach at work inside and outside the discipline of psychology. In the opening chapters Parker describes the challenge to underlying assumptions of 'neutrality' or 'objectivity' within psychology that deconstruction poses, and its implications for three key concepts: humanism, interpretation and reflexivity. Subsequent chapters introduce several lines of debate, and discuss their relation to mainstream axioms such as 'psychopathology', 'diagnosis' and 'psychotherapy', and alternative approaches like qualitative research, humanistic psychology and discourse analysis. Together, the chapters in this book show how, via a process of 'erasure', deconstructive approaches question fundamental assumptions made about language and reality, the self and the social world. By demonstrating the application of deconstruction to different areas of psychology, it also seeks to provide a 'social reconstruction' of psychological research. Psychology After Deconstruction is essential reading for students and researchers in psychology, sociology, social anthropology and cultural studies, and for discourse analysts of different traditions"--

This piece was prepared for a Red Clinic online meeting 'Palestine Solidarity: Speak Out/Talk Back' which took place in October 2023. The Red Clinic is a collective of communist mental health workers. This piece addresses psychoanalytic questions of the internationalist space we inhabit, the place of contradiction in our conception of the world, and the importance of time in our understanding of historical events.

Este manifiesto es para movimientos de liberación por un mundo mejor. Trata sobre la interrelación entre la realidad opresiva de la vida actual y nuestras vidas 'internas', nuestra psicología. El psicoanálisis capta esa íntima interconexión entre esta realidad y lo que se siente en lo profundo de cada uno/a de nosotros/as. Debemos comprender la naturaleza de esa interconexión para construir una alternativa práctica al capitalismo, el sexismo y el racismo. Nuestra tarea es reconstruir el psicoanálisis como una forma auténtica de 'psicología crítica'. Analizamos el papel del inconsciente, la repetición, la pulsión y la transferencia en el análisis clínico y político para abordar cuestiones de transformación subjetiva. ; This manifesto is for movements of liberation for a better world. It concerns the interrelation between the miserable exploitative reality of current life and our 'internal' life, our psychology. Psychoanalysis captures the intimate interconnection between this reality and what is felt to be deep inside each one of us. We need to comprehend the nature of this interconnection in order to construct an alternative practice to capitalism, sexism and racism. Our task is to reconstruct psychoanalysis as an authentic form of 'critical psychology'. We address the role of the unconscious, repetition, drive and transference in analysis in the clinic and politics to address questions of subjective transformation. ; Este manifesto é para movimentos de libertação por um mundo melhor. Diz respeito à inter-relação entre a miserável realidade exploradora da vida atual e nossa vida 'interna', nossa psicologia. A psicanálise capta a íntima interconexão entre esta realidade e o que é sentido no fundo de cada um/a de nós. Precisamos compreender a natureza desta interconexão para construir uma prática alternativa ao capitalismo, ao sexismo e ao racismo. Nossa tarefa é reconstruir a psicanálise como uma forma autêntica de 'psicologia crítica'. Abordamos o papel do inconsciente, da repetição, da pulsão e da transferência na análise na clínica e na política para tratar de questões de transformação subjetiva.

This paper briefly describes the formation, present-day functioning and problems facing the futuristic city 'Auroville' in the state of Tamil Nadu in south India. Founded in 1968 as a 'universal' city, and planned to have 50,000 inhabitants that would take the next step in human evolution to exist as a self-sustaining community independent of nation states, Auroville manifests another utopian attempt to create a 'common' space which resonates with communist hopes to reclaim the commons from capitalist enclosure. This paper explores the problems that face Auroville when it creates its 'commons' on existing peasant land and becomes implicated in colonial politics. ; Este artículo describe de manera concisa la formación, el funcionamiento diario y los problemas a los que se enfrenta la ciudad futurista 'Auroville' en el estado de Tamil Nadu en el sur de la India. Fundada en 1968 como ciudad 'universal' y pensada para acoger a 50.000 habitantes, según su fundador supondría un avance en la evolución humana en el sentido de hacer posible la existencia de una comunidad autosuficiente e independiente de los estados nación. Auroville supone un nuevo intento utópico de creación de un espacio 'comun' que recuerda los anhelos comunistas de arrebatar los bienes comunes de los dominios capitalistas. Exploramos aquí los problemas que encara Auroville cuando produce sus 'comunes' a partir de las tierras de labriegos, reproduciendo de este modo políticas coloniales. ; Este artigo descreve brevemente a formação, o funcionamento atual e os problemas enfrentados pela cidade futurista "Auroville", no estado de Tamil Nadu, no sul da Índia. Fundada em 1968 como uma cidade "universal", foi planejada, segundo declararam seus fundadores, para receber 50.000 habitantes e em seguida (dando-se o próximo passo evolutivo) existir enquanto uma comunidade autossustentável e independente dos Estados-nação. Auroville pressupõe uma nova tentativa utópica de criação de um espaço "comum", que faz lembrar os anseios comunistas de recuperar os bens dominados pelo capitalismo. Este artigo explora os problemas que o Auroville enfrenta quando cria seus "bens comuns" em terras camponesas e, assim, se envolvendo na política colonial.

This article explores the role of psychoanalysis in contemporary neoliberal management of higher education, as a critical resource and as an aspect of the problem it describes. The marketisation, privatisation and financialisation of the university sector is the context for a brief case example in which we see the logic of fantasy staged in a particular organisation, and this case example is followed by a review of the distinctive forms of management of subjectivity in higher education which sustain the context for such events. I bring aspects of Lacanian psychoanalysis to bear on the development of current neoliberal management strategies in universities and then methodological principles are extracted from Lacan's 1953 foundational text 'The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis'; the principles concern the application of psychoanalysis, the place of speech as site of truth, language conceptualised here as psychoanalytic discourse, the gap between speech and language manifested in alienation and symptoms, resistance expressed in jokes and the formation of specific domains in which psychoanalytic reasoning is operative today. I argue that neoliberal management realises the worst aspects of the problems Lacan identifies in his text; knowledge as grounding for education and interpretation, treatment underpinned by charitable concern and the performance of expertise tied to power. I focus on Lacan's warnings about the popularisation of psychoanalytic discourse and conclude with comments on the way 'analysis' now takes place outside the clinic.
