Books by Teresa Brennan

The Transmission of Affect deals with the belief that the emotions and energies of one person or group can be absorbed by or can enter directly into another.

Exhausting Modernity is a bold new work on the exhaustion of our resources, both natural and human. Essential reading for political and social theorists, philosophers, economists, and anyone interested in the environment.

In this elegant, lucidly argued account, Teresa Brennan argues that the evidence already exists that globalisation has for years been harming not just the poor of the third world but also its alleged beneficiaries in the affluent west.

Places Freud's theory of women's sexuality - 'the dark continent' - in the context of Freud's work overall. This first comprehensive study enables an understanding of why femininity was such a riddle to Freud.

Combining feminist analysis with an exposition of Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, Teresa Brennan recovers Lacan's neglected theory of history, and uses it to develop an historical explanation of modernity.
