Tra desiderio di evento e volontà di sistema
L’opera di Alain Badiou, riconosciuta come una delle più consistenti nel panorama contemporaneo, sembra talora patire di un eccesso di compattezza. Che lo si identifichi come l’ultimo filosofo sistematico, per il suo approccio ontologico-matematico, o come l’ultimo filosofo maoista, per la sua fedeltà all’“ipotesi comunista”, o, ancora, come l’ultimo fi losofo platonico, per la sua strenua difesa dell’Idea, resta il fatto che Badiou seduce, intimidisce o indispone, secondo i casi, ma la sua opera sembra resistere a ogni tentativo di appropriazione trasformatrice. I dieci inviti che compongono questo volume intendono contribuire a una lettura obliqua, facendo apparire alcune zone di esitazione nella produzione speculativa del filosofo, in particolare attraverso la categoria di “antifilosofia”, mutuata da Lacan, grazie alla quale trovano spazio, sotto la maschera platonica, questioni a prima vista proscritte nel suo pensiero, come quella del trauma, dell’angoscia, della pulsione di morte e dell’atto.
The “Here and Now” of French Psychoanalysis
The “Here and Now” of French Psychoanalysis provides an overview of the living psychoanalytic landscape in France through the voice of experienced psychoanalysts who continue to transform the legacy of Freud, Lacan and others in their publications and clinical practice. Rachel Boué-Widawsky interviews a wide range of practitioners, underscoring the specificities of French psychoanalysis and exploring how the French psychoanalytic community has responded theoretically and clinically to the global crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic and racial and gender issues. Mimicking the process of psychoanalytic dialogue, the interview format allows for a lively and engaging discussion of each practitioner’s theoretical background and their clinical approach. Boué-Widawsky includes leading individuals in the field as well as representatives of key institutions including La Maison de Solenn and the Centre Jean-Favreau. The “Here and Now” of French Psychoanalysis presents an accessible introduction to this distinctive psychoanalytic landscape. It will be essential reading for psychoanalysts in practice and in training and for academics and students of psychoanalytic studies.
Power and Resistance
The "structuralist" theories of power show that the subject is produced and reproduced by the investment of power: but how then can we think of the subject's resistance to power? Based on this fundamental question, Power and Resistance interprets critically the (post-)structuralist theory of power and resistance, i.e., the theories of Foucault, Deleuze/Guattari, Derrida and Althusser. It analyses also the mechanism of power and the strategies of resistance in the era of neoliberalism. This meticulous analysis that completely renewed the theory of power is already published in French, Japanese, and Korean with success.
Psychanalyse du reste du monde
Reprenant l'invitation de Jacques Derrida à renverser la formule " The West and the Rest " et à ne pas considérer la psychanalyse comme un pur produit de la civilisation occidentale, cet ouvrage collectif en présente une géo-histoire alternative. À partir des marges, des " restes " venus d'autres continents, se dessinent ainsi des voies de circulations diverses, parfois inattendues, des appropriations excentrées, des réinventions créatrices. Grâce aux regards croisés d'une trentaine d'auteurs du Nord et du Sud, on découvrira que la psychanalyse a existé et continue d'exister " ailleurs ", de l'Inde à Madagascar, en passant par le monde arabe, l'Afrique et les Caraïbes, ou enco...
La vie psychique du racisme
S'il n'est plus cautionné par la biologie ou l'anthropologie, comme il l'était à l'apogée de la période coloniale, le racisme est loin d'avoir disparu. Son énigmatique persistance puise ses ruses et ses raisons dans l'inconscient et dans les effets de croyance qui l'accompagnent. Ce livre part à la recherche des traces d'une vie psychique collective héritière d'une histoire largement tributaire des grands partages coloniaux, rendue illisible dans notre actualité postcoloniale. Pour s'orienter dans ces voies parfois tortueuses, il a fallu miser sur l'apport sous-estimé d'Octave Mannoni. Philosophe venu tardivement à la psychanalyse, il a évolué pendant un quart de siècle dans l...
Lacan, Discourse, Event: New Psychoanalytic Approaches to Textual Indeterminacy
Lacan, Discourse, Event: New Psychoanalytic Approaches to Textual Indeterminacy is an introduction to the emerging field of Lacanian Discourse Analysis. It includes key papers that lay the foundations for this research, and worked examples from analysts working with a range of different texts. The editors Ian Parker and David Pavón-Cuéllar begin with an introduction which reviews the key themes in discourse analysis and the problems faced by researchers in that field of work including an overview of the development of discourse analysis in different disciplines (psychology, sociology, cultural studies and political and social theory). They also set out the conceptual and methodological pri...
Animus, Psyche and Culture
Animus, Psyche and Culture takes Carl Jung’s concept of contra-sexual psyche and locates it within the cultural expanse of India, using ethnographic narratives, history, religion, myth, films, biographical extracts to deliberate on the feminine in psychological, social and archetypal realms. Jung’s concept of unconscious contra-sexuality, based on notions of feminine Eros and masculine Logos, was pioneering in his time, but took masculine and feminine to be fixed and essential attributes of gender in the psyche. This book explores the relevance of the animus, examining its rationale in current contexts of gender fluidity. Taking off from Post Jungian critiques, it proposes an exposition ...
Rodin: A Biography
Auguste Rodin (1840-1917) was not only the world’s greatest sculptor, known for such works as The Thinker, The Kiss, The Hand of God, and dozens of others, but also one of the most remarkable personalities of modern times: an artist who outraged contemporaries with his disturbingly unfinished monuments; a sensualist who shocked France with his scandalous relationships (among others, with Camille Claudel); and a friend to the most gifted writers and artists of his day. “A consistently absorbing story... Mr. Grunfeld is primarily concerned with setting out — insofar as they can be separated from the art — the facts of the sculptor’s life, and within his chosen limits he has written a...
Meaningless Suffering
Does suffering have meaning? The leading scholars and practitioners in Meaningless Suffering engage with this haunting human question through the lenses of psychoanalytic, phenomenological and ethical discourse, all the while holding contemporary social concerns in full view. The authors seek to find ways of speaking about the lived realities and historical moments that make up our social narratives – from the murder of George Floyd to the bird watching incident in Central Park – in order to render visible the entangled forms of the effects of embodiment, ideology, race, social practice, and intersectionality. Meaningless Suffering is bookended by powerful pieces by Mari Ruti and Homi K....
