The genealogy is both a historical and critical approach, inspired by Foucault, which consists in asking how - that is, by what theoretical and practical transformations, by the emergence of which discourses of truth, which institutions, and which power relations - our current subjectivity was shaped. Desire is a crucial thread throughout because it lies at the heart not only of liberal political economy, psychiatry and psychopathology, and the various discourses of recognition (from philosophy to psychology and the law) that shape our current politics of identity, but also, and more importantly, of the manner in which we understand, experience and indeed govern ourselves, ethically and politically.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA novel reading of Lacan that foregrounds the radicality and urgency of his concepts and the relationship between desire, norm and the law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Miguel de Beistegui\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350190810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350190818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.39d","brand":"Miguel de Beistegui","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071391363327,"sku":"9781350190818","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a3c9eda-99de-4126-a4b4-8fe77718f29a.jpg?v=1685435818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lacan-miguel-de-beistegui-9781350190818","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
