Publications

In 2007-8, the Centre’s research focussed on the analysis of the theoretical foundations of Žižek’s work and its relationship to Foucault’s.

Since 2009 the research agenda of the Centre focuses on two themes: Psychoanalysis and Ideology Critique and Political Economy and Ideology Critique.
