Have we all become narcissists of the social media age? How have the
internet and online platforms shaped the way we work? Is all of this
technology positive or negative for our mental health? Or is it both at
once? Steffen Krüger and Jacob Johnassen show how media function beyond
the rational. Spanning a wide range of examples, Psychoanalysis and the
Media guides readers through the growing field of psychoanalytic media
studies in a clear and accessible manner. This book is the first
critical introduction to the psychoanalytic study of media - from film
and TV, to social media, games and artificial intelligence and is an
indispensable read for everyone who wants to understand the complex
relationship between humans and technology today.
