For Jameson, that is, the rationalisation of bourgeois society shattered the social collectivity, giving rise to a nuclear family that would come to occupy the boundary between the public and the private spheres. It is not by accident, therefore, that the entire collection of psychoanalytic dramas - childhood trauma, primal scene fantasies, the Oedipus complex - relied on the historically located institution of the bourgeois family. Indeed, psychoanalysis is completely dependent on the capitalist mode of production for its supply of patients: energies that were distributed over the entire social body came to be invested exclusively in the family, with calamitous outcomes. As cultural critic Michael Venture notes, “In a world where most people do work that is not only unsatisfying but also, with its pressures, deeply unsettling; and in a world where there’s nothing more rare than a place that feels like a community, we load all our needs onto a relationship or expect them to be met by a family. And then we wonder why our relationships and family crack under the load.
