Umbr(a): War

In a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of war, a collective of influential thinkers dives into the psychoanalytic dimensions of conflict. Contributions from Joan Copjec, Ernesto Laclau, and Slavoj Žižek intertwine theoretical rigor with profound insights, examining how war shapes and is shaped by human psychology and societal structures. Their analyses challenge readers to confront the often unspoken emotional and ideological undercurrents that drive nations to conflict.

Through a blend of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and political theory, the work seeks to unravel the intricacies of war, probing into its origins and the human psyche's response to violence and trauma. This volume is not just an academic discourse but also an invitation to reflect on the moral and existential implications of warfare in contemporary society.
