商品描述

"Much easier to trigger than explain, anti-Semitism is showing itself even harder to eradicate in our troubled world. Nimbly combining insights from Zygmunt Bauman's theory of proteophobia and Theodor W. Adorno's negative psychology, Benjamin Strosberg has written a nuanced, theoretically astute, deeply felt study of its over-determined causes. Anti-Semitism at the Limit offers a master class in the application of psychoanalysis to pressing cultural and social problems."
--Martin Jay, Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor Emeritus of History, University of California, Berkeley, USA

"A compelling, insightful and timely engagement with the age-old historical dilemma of anti-Semitism. Strosberg's analysis is multi-dimensional in scope, original, ambitious, and genuinely pathbreaking in how he guides us from an applied discussion of 'proteophobia' as one underlying basis of anti-Semitism, to a consideration of Adorno's 'negative psychology' as a crucial resource for both Psychosocial Studies and the fight against bigotry and racism."
--Derek Hook, Professor of Psychology, Duquesne University, USA, author of Six Moments in Lacan

In this book, Benjamin Strosberg explores difficulties and anxieties inherent in studying, defining, and defending against anti-Semitism by tracing a concurrent difficulty in thinking about Jewishness, which has historically served as a limit case for central social categories such as outsider, religion, race, gender, and nation. Dr. Strosberg draws on Zygmunt Bauman's concept of proteophobia--the anxious fear of what doesn't fit into clear-cut categories--to think more carefully about anti-Semitism as response to the complex-realities of ambivalence and otherness. The book proposes 'negative psychology' as a methodology for studying anti-Semitism and proteophobia rooted in psychoanalysis and Theodor Adorno's Critical Theory. Drawing from lived experiences, contemporary events, and debates in the field, this compelling work explores the broad implications of the investigation of anti-Semitism for politics, education, and psychoanalysis, as well as the specific implications for Jewish identity and resistance.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

「反猶太主義比解釋更容易引發,在我們這個動盪的世界中,它的根除顯得更加困難。班傑明·斯特羅斯伯格靈活地結合了齊格蒙特·鮑曼的保護恐懼症理論和西奧多·阿多諾的負面心理學,撰寫了一部對其過度決定性原因的細緻、理論上敏銳且深具情感的研究。《反猶太主義的極限》提供了一堂將精神分析應用於緊迫文化和社會問題的大師課。」
-- 馬丁·傑伊,加州大學伯克利分校歷史學名譽教授

「這是一部引人入勝、富有洞察力且及時的作品,探討了反猶太主義這一古老歷史困境。斯特羅斯伯格的分析範圍多維,原創且雄心勃勃,真正開創性地引導我們從對‘保護恐懼症’的應用討論,作為反猶太主義的一個潛在基礎,轉向對阿多諾的‘負面心理學’的考量,這對心理社會研究以及對抗偏見和種族主義至關重要。」
-- 德瑞克·胡克,杜肯大學心理學教授,《拉康的六個時刻》一書的作者

在這本書中,班傑明·斯特羅斯伯格探討了研究、定義和防範反猶太主義所固有的困難和焦慮,並追溯到思考猶太性所面臨的相應困難,這在歷史上作為外部者、宗教、種族、性別和國家等核心社會類別的極限案例。斯特羅斯伯格博士借鑒了齊格蒙特·鮑曼的保護恐懼症概念——對不符合明確類別的事物的焦慮恐懼——更仔細地思考反猶太主義作為對模棱兩可和他者複雜現實的反應。這本書提出了‘負面心理學’作為研究根植於精神分析和西奧多·阿多諾批判理論的反猶太主義和保護恐懼症的方法論。通過生活經驗、當代事件和該領域的辯論,這部引人入勝的作品探討了對反猶太主義的調查對政治、教育和精神分析的廣泛影響,以及對猶太身份和抵抗的具體影響。
