Over the last century; psychoanalysis has transformed the ways in which we think about our relationships with others. Psychoanalytic concepts and methods; such as the unconscious and dream analysis; have greatly impacted on social; cultural and political theory. Reinterpreting the ways in which Geography has explored peoples mental maps and their deepest feelings about places; The Body and the City outlines a new cartography of the subject. The author maps key coordinates of meaning; identity and power across the sites of body and city. Exploring a wide range of critical thinking; particularly the work of Lefebvre; Freud and Lacan; he analyses the dialectic between the individual and the external world to present a pathbreaking psychoanalysis of space.

Great book; large photos; haunting and awesomeBy 80 ShadesThis is an excellent coffee table book that covers the destruction from Hurricane Ike; in particular around the Galveston vicinity. The book is quite large; has excellent quality print; and the photos are amazing. I do feel a bit guilty looking at the destruction of the lives of good people; but I would rather think I am honoring and acknowledging the power of nature (somehow I doubt this book will be found on the coffee table at the Galveston Realtors Office or Galveston Chamber of Commerce!).Anyway; great job on the book; most people that are interested in natures fury will love the book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
