(Per)versions of Love and Hate

Renata Salecl

Why love and hate are so closely linked, in private lives and in politics, through psychoanalysis.

Renata Salecl’s psychoanalytic essays on love, hate and violence in contemporary culture and politics. Drawing on Lacan, she examines how love can turn into hatred, how societies find enemies and how fantasy shapes both intimate and political life. Her examples range from the law and human rights to art, war and the aftermath of socialism in Eastern Europe.
