Pervert-Schizoid-Woman

Touching on the fields of philosophy critical theory cultural studies and queer theory Pervert-Schizoid-Woman critiques the organization of Western economy language and desire. Author Michael Williams seeks to promote alternative frameworks for a posthumanist theory and practice of perverse selfhood and sociality. In this study he identifies the capitalist economic system as structured by scarcity and supply/demand dynamics discerning the paradoxical accumulation of debt as the essence of the assumed scarcity in the financial system. He also uncovers the profound isomorphism between the economics of scarcity and the castration and lack at the center of the psychoanalytic interpretation of gender sexuality and desire concluding that the essential negativity in the scarcity of capitalism the absence in the structure of language and the castration in the network of desire are the sources of the dysfunctions in Western systems of finance expression and gender and sexuality.
