在过去的十年里，社会和文化地理学经历了一次“精神分析转向”：地理学家利用弗洛伊德、拉康、克莱因、温尼科特、克里斯特瓦和其他人的见解来加深和重新定位我们对主观性和社会空间构成的理解。在这篇文章中，我认为，在这个过程中，精神分析地理学已经倾向于使精神分析与目前推动社会和文化地理学的必要性兼容(例如，要求对抵抗进行理论化，并对政治化的主观性和空间性形成特殊的理解)。然而，弗洛伊德的许多开创性见解与这些要求相悖：弗洛伊德对无意识的表述指向了一个在文化辞职方面不可延展的领域，并认为个人既要经历渐进的转变，也要受到惰性和重复的影响。这篇论文表明，弓地理通过淡化其在政治上不受欢迎的方面，努力驯服了精神分析理论。在这样做时，它认为，现在是揭露这些方面的时候了。
In the last decade, social and cultural geography has experienced a 'psychoanalytic turn': geographers have used insights from Freud, Lacan, Klein, Winnicott, Kristeva and others to deepen and re-orient our understandings of subjectivity and socio-spatial formations. In this paper, I argue that in the process, psychoanalytic geography has tended to render psychoanalysis compatible with the imperatives currently driving social and cultural geography (such as the demand to theorize resistance and develop particular understandings of politicized subjectivities and spatialities). Many of Freud's founding insights, however, work at odds with such imperatives: Freud's formulation of the unconscious points to a realm that is not malleable in terms of cultural resignification, and that conceives the individual as subject as much to inertia and repetition as to progressive transformation. The paper demonstrates bow geography has worked to tame psychoanalytic theory by downplaying its more politically unpalatable aspects. In so doing, it argues that the time is now right for those aspects to be brought to light.
