The Feminine Symptom takes as its starting point the problem of female offspring for Aristotle: If form is transmitted by the male and the female provides only matter, how is a female child produced? Aristotle answers that there must be some fault or misstep in the process. This inexplicable but necessary coincidence--sumptoma in Greek--defines the feminine symptom. Departing from the standard associations of male-activity-form and female-passivity-matter, Bianchi traces the operation of chance and spontaneity throughout Aristotle's biology, physics, cosmology, and metaphysics and argues that.

The first English-language study of Aristotle’s natural philosophy from a continental perspective, the Feminine Symptom takes as its starting point the problem of female offspring. If form is transmitted by the male and the female provides only matter, how is a female child produced? Aristotle answers that there must be some fault or misstep in the process. This inexplicable but necessary coincidence—sumptoma in Greek—defines the feminine symptom. Departing from the standard associations of male-activity-form and female-passivity-matter, Bianchi traces the operation of chance and spontaneity throughout Aristotle’s biology, physics, cosmology, and metaphysics and argues that it is not passive but aleatory matter— unpredictable, ungovernable, and acting against nature and teleology—that he continually allies with the feminine. Aristotle’s pervasive disparagement of the female as a mild form of monstrosity thus works to shore up his polemic against the aleatory and to consolidate patriarchal teleology in the face of atomism and Empedocleanism. Bianchi concludes by connecting her analysis to recent biological and materialist political thinking, and makes the case for a new, antiessentialist politics of aleatory feminism.

Premenstrual Syndrome is a phenomenon which has been approached medically from the standpoint of every organ system, without any general consensus as to its actual cause or its effective treatment. Premenstrual Syndrome is also a cultural phenomenon which has increased in prevalence since the advent of the Industrial Revolution. Since the Industrial Revolution has also represented a dramatic and ongoing turn away from feminine values, it is conceivable that women with PMS are recalled through their symptoms to a collective unconscious memory of other eras in human history which did value the feminine. Hormonal fluctuations in mood and energy, as well as the periodic need to sleep, to dream, and to enter into a liminal state are often characteristic of women with Premenstrual Syndrome. Such experience recalls a woman perhaps to a culture or to a time when life was valued for its own sake and on its own terms, when the reality of earthly cycles and seasons were honored along with the normal rhythms of the human body, when communities were ordered by a principle of partnership instead of hierarchy and when a sense of the sacred was a part of everyday life instead of a matter of doctrine. The rage and depression which is often characteristic, too, may be a manifestation within the individual of the collective rage and grief of women throughout history who havebeen disregarded, shamed, and persecuted in the name of religion, economic expediency, and political gain. Symptoms, in Western healing traditions are problems to be overcome or subdued. Feminine values regard symptoms as harbingers of a wholeness which seeks to make itself known. Premenstrual symptoms, then, perhaps recall a woman and her community to grieve that which has been lost and forgotten, and to remember something about human community and feminine values which are left behind by modern pragmatism. A treatment of premenstrual syndrome will be a treatment which respects the individual woman's history as well as the collective memory which is held within the cells of the body and apprehended consciously through body symptoms, dreams, and images. It is a treatment in which relationship, between therapist and patient, between psyche and soma, between eros and logos, will be central. This process, reminiscent of archaic forms of feminine initiation, recalls a woman into her own essential nature, and enables her to work with her premenstrual symptoms not by fighting or overcoming them, but by honoring their message and listening for their meaning.

The theory of law and economics that dominates American jurisprudence today views the market as rational and individuals as driven by the desire to increase their wealth. It is a view riddled with misconceptions, as Jeanne Lorraine Schroeder demonstrates in this challenging work, which looks at contemporary debates in legal theory through the lens of psychoanalysis and continental philosophy. Through metaphors drawn from classical mythology and interpreted via Lacanian psychoanalysis and Hegelian philosophy, Schroeder exposes the hidden and repressed erotics of the market. Her work shows how the predominant economic analysis of markets and the standard romantic critique of markets are in fact mirror images, reflecting the misconception that reason and passion are inalterably opposed.

This textbook aims to provide students with a stimulating alternative to the textbooks currently available by placing the discipline within the context of the social world and encouraging them to question some of the assumptions and values underlying much current research. A comprehensive survey of the discipline is provided, framed within a lifespan approach, and emphasising social-cultural factors such as gender, ethnicity and social-economic status. All major topics are covered, including health behaviours, health promotion, coping strategies, stress, biomedical and biopsychosocial models of health and illness, chronic illnesses, psychoneuroimmunology, disability, pain, and patient-provider communication. Each topic is situated within its social and cultural context and constantly linked back to real-world experience. Chapters include valuable features such as research updates, learning objectives and recommended readings. This book will be an invaluable resource for students of health psychology across a range of disciplines including psychology, anthropology and health studies.

The essays collected in Re-inventing the Symptom explore the final period of Jacques Lacan’s teaching, focusing on his 1975-76 seminar Le sinthome. This book sheds light on the central questions of this last “phase” of Lacanian theory and unravels the principal enigmas of the seminars. The work as a whole breaks through previous obstacles to the act of reading Lacan’s last work, among them the notorious restrictions placed upon the publication and translation of Lacan’s teachings. The contributors examine Lacan’s late work from a variety of perspectives. They consider his theories on Boromean knot topology and rethink readings of his views on sexual difference, his encounter with Joyce, and even his consideration that his work was not theory at all, but rather a kind of writing. These lucid essays offer a dazzling reading of works previously considered elusive. Students and practitioners of psychoanalysis alike will benefit from this revolutionary collection. The contributors mark the territory for a more widespread deployment of Lacanian theory in our cultural landscape, from modernism to deconstruction and feminism. At last, those who seek to approach Lacanian thought and apply its relevance to their own fields have a radical new tool made readily available to them.
