Special issue published: Psychoanalysis, Sexualities and Networked Media
I am pleased to announce the publication of a special issue of *Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society* *Psychoanalysis, Sexualities and Networked Media* Editor: Jacob Johanssen (St. Mary’s University) Sexualities, digital technologies, and bodies have merged in contradictory, pleasurable, and destructive manners. As the articles in this special issue show, this symbiotic merger has strong implications for subjectivity itself and how unconscious and affective relations between humans and non-human entities (for instance, platforms, apps, sextoys, robots, and VR porn) are changing within capitalism. Psychoanalytic enquiries into digital sexualities constitute an exciting new area in its own right. https://link.springer.com/journal/41282/volumes-and-issues/26-2 *Launch event:* Please join us for a launch event on *04 June: 2pm (BST)*.
