Political Theory and the Political Psychology group: ‘Symbols of whiteness: understanding populist politics through politicised statues’ - Andreja Zevnik, University of Manchester
Organized jointly by the Political Theory and the Political Psychology group.
Andreja Zevnik is Senior Lecturer of International Politics at the University of Manchester.
She will present on: ‘Symbols of whiteness: understanding populist politics through politicised statues’
Andreja's research is inspired by psychoanalysis, continental philosophy, critical race studies and aesthetic politics and mainly focuses on the production of subjectivity in acts of resistance. Her most recent research examines how the experience of anxiety alters forms of political participation, produces different political/resisting subjectivities and moulds new political realities. She's particularly interested in struggles associated with the civil rights movement in the US and different Black Lives Matter initiatives. Some of her publications include a monograph entitled Lacan, Deleuze and World Politics: rethinking the ontology of the political subject (Routledge, 2016), a research article on 'Post-racial society as social fantasy; in Political Psychology (2017) and co-edited collections such as Jaces Lacan between psychoanalysis and politics (Routledge, 2015), Lacan and Deleuze: a disjunctive synthesis (Edinburgh University Press, 2017) and Politics of Anxiety (Rowman and Littlefield Int. 2018).
