PROMPT : Write a 4000 word research paper on a question of your choice after exploring the topics that have been covered throughout the course and ensure that this question indirectly or directly an extension of the question that you answered in your mid term paper [ The prompt that I worked on for my mid term was “What gives rise to narcissistic personalities ?”]. For my final paper I was planning to link it with themes of violence (link narcissism and violence] .
Since the course is Politics and psychoanalysis a relation needs to be drawn between the psychological theories and their influence in politics and society. Preferable references for sources could be [FREUD, DELEUZE AND GUATTARI, LINDA GORDON, THOMAS BLOM HANSEN, KRISTINE STILES]. ?(I’ll be attaching the syllabus which mentions the relevant readings under the theme of violence and the guild-lines under the final examination clause are to be followed)
