Narcissistic wounds, race, racism: a comment on Franz Fanon's critical engagement with psychoanalysis

Abstract

I was invited to participate in this collection on the concept of narcissism, taken in an interdisciplinary perspective. My contribution forms part of a long term project on the potential transformations of psychoanalysis and will form part of a chapter in the forthcoming monograph mentioned above. I presented this work, together with Azzedine Haddour and Mark Nash at the Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies in March 2007, in the context of a seminar where we also screened and discussed Isaac Julien's film on Fanon
