Abstract

Книга «Шоковая терапия: психология, прекарность и благополучие в постсоциалистической России» написана по результатам многолетних исследований американского антрополога Томаса Матцы. Цель работы – изучить произошедший в начале XXI века психотерапевтический поворот на постсоветском пространстве. Обращаясь к фукианской оптике, автор исследует распространение психотерапевтических практик, с одной стороны, как черту биополитики путинского режима, с другой – как практику создания нового постсоциалистического субъекта через новые техники себя. Матца задается вопросом: в чем состоят особенности создаваемого терапевтическим поворотом российского неолиберального субъекта?
