[Commlist] Special issue published: Psychoanalysis, Sexualities and Networked Media

New publication
Special issue of /Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society/

*Psychoanalysis, Sexualities and Networked Media*

Editor: Jacob Johanssen (St. Mary’s University)

Sexualities, digital technologies, and bodies have merged in 
contradictory, pleasurable, and destructive manners. As the articles in 
this special issue show, this symbiotic merger has strong implications 
for subjectivity itself and how unconscious and affective relations 
between humans and non-human entities (for instance, platforms, apps, 
sextoys, robots, and VR porn) are changing within capitalism. 
Psychoanalytic enquiries into digital sexualities constitute an exciting 
new area in its own right.
