Molly Anne Rothenberg is professor of English at Tulane University. She is a nationally certified psychoanalyst with teaching and scholarly interests that include British literature, gender and sexuality studies and post-Freudian psychoanalytic theory. She is the recipient of a Fulbright Flex Award for research at the University of Edinburgh.
In The Excessive Subject: A New Theory of Social Change, Molly Anne Rothenberg uncovers an innovative theory of social change implicit in the writings of radical social theorists, such as Pierre Bourdieu, Michel de Certeau, Judith Butler, Ernesto Laclau, and Slavoj ?i?ek. Through case studies of these writers' work, Rothenberg illuminates how this new theory calls into question currently accepted views of social practices, subject formation, democratic interaction, hegemony, political solidarity, revolutionary acts, and the ethics of alterity.
