This collection of essays offers some novel reflections on the nature of the crowd, the collective, and the subject's relation to the social link. Prompted mainly by Freud's Group Psychology and Analysis of the Ego , the authors analyze crucial issues ranging from La Boe tie's late Renaissance theory of voluntary servitude to the early 20th-century Europe's collapsed empires and revolutionary uprisings, to progressive South Africans' turn to segregationism, to Bolsonaro's adoption of Nazi rhetoric.

Essays by Betty Berardo Fuks, Paola Mieli, Rosalind Morris David, Pavo n-Cue llar, Alain Vanier
