The Portable Phallus
In Penis Envy and Other Bad Feelings: The Emotional Cost of Everyday Life Mari Ruti interweaves theoretical insight, cultural critique, feminist politics, and personal experience to lift the lid on the prevalence of bad feelings in contemporary everyday life. Emanating from a playful engagement with Freud’s idea of penis envy, Ruti’s autotheoretical commentary fans out to a broader consideration of neoliberal pragmatism.

Why a Failed Relationship Isn't a Personal Failure
When it comes to failures of love, it's easy to assume that it's "the weak" who get scorched, because "the strong" know how to protect themselves. But I suspect that frequently the reverse is the case, that it's often the strong who get positively pummeled by love—because they are the ones willing to take the risk of getting hurt in the first place. Love is not made for the faint-hearted, or those who hesitate on the sidelines.

De stem van je karakter
Intens, authentiek, liefdevol: zó willen we leven, zeggen we. Maar dat betekent ook: onrust, verdriet, verlangen, conflict. Die keerzijde proberen we zo veel mogelijk uit te bannen, maar zo verliezen we een belangrijk deel van wie we zijn. Imperfectie is de kern van ons bestaan. Juist angst en verlangen zorgen ervoor dat we niet stagneren.
The Creative Self: Beyond Individualism
From the publisher: “Be the best you can be!” Practically from the moment we are born, we are taught to optimize our lives—to devote ourselves to increasing our productivity and efficiency, which, we are told, will make us happier and more successful. The imperative of constant self-improvement, however, drains us dry even as it promises to build us up. The Creative Self delves into the hegemony of neoliberal self-optimization and turns to psychoanalysis in search of an alternative.
The Fall of Fantasies: A Lacanian Reading of Lack
Abstract The purpose of this article is to explain to a non-Lacanian audience the broad philosophical foundations of Lacanian theory, particularly the relationship that Lacan draws between the human subject's ontological lack and his or her creative capacities. In an effort to explain Lacan's distaste for psychoanalytic approaches aimed at strengthening the ego, the article outlines the manner in which Lacan connects ego-driven fantasies to the constriction of the subject's psychic world.
