''Does the Internet Have an [[Unconscious]]?'' is both an introduction to the [[work]] of [[Slavoj Žižek]] and an investigation into how his work can be used to [[think]] [[about]] the digital [[present]].  Clint Burnham uniquely combines the [[German]] [[idealism]], [Image:clint[Lacanian]] [[psychoanalysis]], and [[Marxist]] [[materialism]] found in Žižek’s [[thought]] to [[understand]] how the Internet, [[social]] and new [[media]], and digital [[cultural]] forms work in our lives and how their failure to work [[structures]] our pathologies and [[fantasies]]. He suggests that our failure to properly understand the digital is due to our [[lack]] of [[recognition]] of its [[political]], aesthetic, and [[psycho]]-burnham[[sexual]] elements. Mixing autobiographical passages with critical [[analysis]], Burnham situates a Žižekian [[theory]] of digital [[culture]] in the lived [[human]] [[body]].</div>  ==Review=="Clint Burnham does not merely apply psychoanalysis to the internet; he demonstrates how the unconscious itself is '[[structured]] like the internet, ' how our entanglement in the impenetrable digital web allows us to understand properly the way the unconscious overdetermines our [[thinking]] and activities. This is why Burnham's path-breaking book reaches much deeper than the usual [[analyses]] of the social and [[psychological]] implications of the internet: it does-not just socialize and historicise the-internet-, it throws a new light on the unconscious itself."''Slavoj [[Zizek]], Senior Researcher in the Department of [[Philosophy]], [[University]] of [[Ljubljana]], [[Slovenia]], and [[author]] of Less Than [[Nothing]]: [[Hegel]] and the Shadow of [[Dialectical]] Materialism'' "Clint Burnham has produced the definitive [[psychoanalytic]] account of digital culture. This is the book that those seeking to understand how the unconscious manifests itself in the digital [[universe]] have been waiting for. For too long, psychoanalytic theorists have-confined themselves to analyses of [[film]] and [[literature]], but now Burnham provides the breakthrough. Far from [[being]] an-application of psychoanalysis to a foreign realm, the digital provides the privileged ground for encountering the unconscious-slavoj-zizek-. As Burnham's delightful and witty prose indicates, the internet functions as an [[event]] with [[concrete]] ramifications for the psyches that emerge in its wake."''Todd McGowan, Professor of [[English]], University of Vermont, USA, and author of Only a [[Joke]] Can Save Us: A Theory of [[Comedy]]'' "Were there ever two [[formations]] with less in common than 'the Internet, ' a machinic transmission of discrete data, and-'psychoanalysis, ' a wild [[science]] of messy social relationality? Clint Burnham's [[genius]] is to show how psychoanalysis is indispensable to any robust theory of digital-culture, but as well to reveal the cybernetics already at work in [[psychoanalytic theory]] from [[Freud]] to Zizek. In readings of multiple media, he vividly demonstrates the ongoing [[necessity]] of [[concepts]] like [[negation]], [[enjoyment]], and [[disavowal]] for making [[sense]] of aesthetic productions like [[cinema]], social experiences like [[Facebook]], and the cyber [[mode of production]] that binds online pleasures to offline battery factories.jpg|frame|right|300pxThis is an expansive, fascinating book, offering its readers a dazzling plenty of [[speculation]]and critique."''Anna Kornbluh, Associate Professor of English, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA, and author of Realizing [https[Capital]]://megaFinancial and [[Psychic]] Economies in Victorian [[Form]] (2013)'' ==About the Author=='''Clint Burnham''' is Professor of English at Simon Fraser University, Canada.nz/#F!o3w3HaIB!U2ZwgEHDo-hEduaPQJP7pA DOWNLOADHe is the author of ''Fredric [[Jameson]]and The Wolf of Wall Street'' (Bloomsbury, 2016).
