Abstract
In chapter I, I develop what I call Decolonial Psychoanalysis as one approach to Critical Islamophobia Studies in an effort to conceptualize everyday Islamophobia as internalized Islamophobia. To do this, I draw on a number of theoretical resources situated within the discursive turn, such as decoloniality/transmodernity and Lacanian psychoanalysis. In chapter II, I carry out an archeology of (counter)terrorism, a genealogy of the conceptual Muslim, and a Žižekian ideology critique. In chapter III, I turn to the psychologization of Islamophobia. In chapters IV and V, I apply Lacanian Discourse Analysis to 11 extracts from interviews I conducted with 5 US Muslims to theorize their ethico-political subjectivity. In the concluding chapter, I consider three practices of hope: politics of resistance, adversarial aesthetics, and ethics of liberation.
