*
Digital Media, Psychoanalysis and the Subject*
***Editors: Jacob Johanssen (University of Westminster), Steffen Krüger (University of Oslo)*



We are very pleased to announce the publication of the special issue Digital Media, Psychoanalysis and the Subject, published by the open access journal /CM: Communication and Media/.

This is the first-ever special issue of a media and communication journal that addresses questions of subjectivity, digital media and the Internet with a focus on psychoanalytic theory.

The contributing authors seek to reassess and reinvigorate psychoanalytic thinking in media and communication studies. They undertake this reassessment with a particular focus on the question of what psychoanalytic concepts, theories and modes of inquiry can contribute to the study of contemporary digital media.

The collection features a broad range of psychoanalytic approaches - from Freudian, via Kleinian and relational, to Lacanian and Jungian - and covers a wide range of issues - from the uses (and abuses) of the mobile phone and other digital devices, the circulation of traumatising images and anxiety-inducing tracking apps, via hysteric feminist discourses, digital fetishes and the exploitation of YouTube celebrities, to the meaning of the gangbang in a priapistic media culture and this culture's emptying-out of meaning towards its climax in a cosmic spasm...

We hope that colleagues will find this collection informative and engaging and a helpful resource for their own work.
