ENGL 300: Introduction to Theory of Literature
Lecture 15 - The Postmodern Psyche. In this lecture on the postmodern psyche, Professor Paul Fry explores the work of Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari and Slavoj Zizek. The notion of the "postmodern" is defined through the use of examples in the visual arts and architecture. Deleuze and Guattari's theory of "rhizomatic" thinking and their intellectual debts are elucidated. Zizek's film criticism, focused on the relation between desire and need, is explored in connection with Lacan. (from oyc.yale.edu)
