Publication Introduction to Best Indie Lit New England, Vol. 1(Black Key Press, 2013) Dodson, Thomas APublication The Politics of Impossibility: A Socio-Symbolic Analysis of Society, the Subject, Identification, and Ideology(2003) Dodson, Thomas AThe present study seeks to explain why every discursive articulation of society must fail both to constitute itself as a closed totality and to fully symbolize and give meaning to individual subjects. It further seeks to explain how this symmetrical lack in society and the social agent contributes to our understanding of the multiple and flexible structures of ideological (dis)identification. This model of society and the subject will draw primarily from the discourse-theoretical analytics developed by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe and extended by others. Often referred to by the terms "discourse theory" or "hegemony theory," this body of work applies semiotics, deconstruction, psychoanalysis, and post-Gramscian Marxism to contemporary social struggles. The present study also draws significantly from Lacanian psychoanalysis and from those theorists (notably Yannis Stavrakakis and Slavoj Zizek) who have begun to articulate a distinctively Lacanian political theory.Publication Creek People(Badger Press, 2012) Dodson, Thomas APublication I Am Wild And Always Will Be(Black Key Press, 2011) July, Miranda; Dodson, Thomas A; Barnett, JessIn April, Printer's Devil Review was invited to participate in a round-table conversation with July about her new movie, screening at Independent Film Festival Boston.
