Yet beneath their distinct projects lies a shared ambition: to decenter the Western conception of the subject while critically engaging with the notion of subjectivity in post-Kantian thought.This book examines Foucault s critical project through the lens of Lacan s theory of the four discourses, introduced in Seminar XVII: The Other Side of Psychoanalysis (1969-70). Divided into two parts, Reading Foucault through Lacan unfolds as a dialogue between the discourses of the Hysteric and the Analyst. Part I, The Hysteric, reframes Foucault s genealogical critique from the early to mid-1970s as a form of hysterical questioning directed at Kant s transcendental legacy and its aftermath. Through an exploration of how violence and embodied resistance interact in a discursive framework, Part I uncovers the epistemological fractures that mark the modern subject.Part II, The Analyst, examines Foucault s redefinition of Kantian critique as a historically situated engagement with the present. Building on Lacan s claim that analytic experience begins with the hystericization of discourse, this section views Foucault s re-alignment with Kant as retroactively constituting the transformation from Hysteric to Analyst. Addressing themes such as parrhesia, transference, and the ethics of speaking, Part II examines discourse as a social link that transcends fixed identities to inhabit new modes of being.Drawing on newly available English translations of Foucault s lectures and Lacan s seminars, this book bridges two key trajectories in French thought and offers valuable insights for scholars of psychoanalysis, critical theory, and social philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53573456199959,"sku":null,"price":14978.1,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783031697388.jpg?v=1782393169","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/ur\/products\/the-palgrave-lacan-series-9783031697388","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
