Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £7.10
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Dopo aver indagato la paternità nell'epoca contemporanea con "Il complesso di Telemaco" e altri libri, Massimo Recalcati volge lo sguardo alla madre, andando oltre i luoghi comuni, anche di matrice psicoanalitica, che ne hanno caratterizzato le rappresentazioni più canoniche. Attraverso esempi letterari, cinematografici, biblici e clinici, questo libro racconta i volti diversi della maternità mettendo l'accento sulle sue luci e le sue ombre. Non esiste istinto materno; la madre non è la genitrice del figlio; il padre non è il suo salvatore. La generazione non esclude fantasmi di morte e di appropriazione, cannibalismo e narcisismo; l'amore materno non è senza ambivalenza. L'assenza della madre è importante quanto la sua presenza; il suo desiderio non può mai esaurire quello della donna; la sua cura resiste all'incuria assoluta del nostro tempo; la sua eredità non è quella della Legge, ma quella del sentimento della vita; il suo dono è quello del respiro; il suo volto è il primo volto del mondo.
