This chapter claims that a productive dialogue can and should be forged between Freudian–Lacanian psychoanalytic teachings and critical evaluations of nonhuman complexes and elements—such as material objects, uncanny things, climate, animals, the text, the machine, and so on. With an overview of crucial overlapping themes, it situates the various chapters of this book by positing a question modeling the essential link between psychoanalysis and the nonhuman turn: What does the nonhuman want?
