Libido (noun), libidinal (adjective); libidinal intensity (noun), according to French post-structuralist philosopher Lyotard (1924-1998), sexual feelings and desires.
This expression might also be replaced in the peculiar context of post-modernism. The libidinal economy according to Lyotard and to say it briefly ( nonrational forces)plays a significant part in our vision or reality . Lyotard stressed the fact that death drives (thanatos) was a motor for art ( or is it the other way round ?). It is commonplace to say that postmodernists debunked the power of reason and pointed the necessity of pleasure and art recreations. Lyotard also highlighted the place of affect and difference in many fields even in politics. He turned himself to psychanalytic tenets and borrowed psychanalytic expressions. However I insist on the point that his work can't simply be summarised as a psychanalytic proposition.Quote:

I congratulate your for your French, How impressive ! Persian, English and French what else ?
I'm afraid I could not help you properly. I know the gist of postmodernism but I lack articulation and accuracy.
There are some people I know on this very site who could give you a clear and exhaustive explanation of postmodernism.
