Hello,

I was wondering what's the perspective of philosophers when it comes to using psychoanalytic concepts like (drive, desire, jouissance and others) to explain social phenomenon like, for example, playing video games? I am interested in writing an article about video games and I wish to move beyond the usual addiction discourse that's so common when looking at video game. But I also do not wish to use these concepts as mere psychological metaphors.
