Психоаналитичен опит върху правната форма в „Градът и градът“

The text offers a psychoanalytic reading of “The City & The City” by China Miéville, whose Marxist theory of international law is reflected, refracted, and further complicated within the framework of the novel. The literary work is examined as a narrative that questions the conflict between the real and the ideological dimensions of a law. The latter, on the one hand, reifies and fetishizes space. On the other, it compels the interpellated subjects to deny and “un-sense” the world around them. The analysis foregrounds the contradictions between the repressive and emancipatory dimensions of the legal system.
