Using the Lacanian theory of \u0026amp;quote;capitalist discourse,\u0026amp;quote; Rousselle demonstrates that most of early American sociology suffered from an inadequate account of the \u0026amp;quote;symbolic\u0026amp;quote; within the mental and social lives of the individual subject. The psychoanalytic aspect of the social bond remained theoretically undeveloped in the American context. Instead it is the \u0026amp;quote;image,\u0026amp;quote; a product of the imaginary, which takes charge over any symbolic function. This intervention into pragmatic sociology seeks to recover the tradition of \u0026amp;quote;grand theory\u0026amp;quote; by bringing psychoanalytical and sociological discourse into fruitful communication with one another.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52926081925399,"sku":null,"price":4722.86,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783030197261.jpg?v=1781594314","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/te\/products\/the-palgrave-lacan-series-9783030197261","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
