Truth and Eros: Foucault, Lacan and the question of ethics. (Rouledge Library Editions: Michel Foucault) [Paperback] - 09.Sep.2013



In this reissused work, first published in 1991, John Rajchman isolates the question of ethics in the work of Foucault and Lacan and explores its ramifications and implications for the present day. He demonstrates that the question of ethics was at once the most difficult and the most intimate question for these two authors, offering a complex point of intersection between them. As such, he argues that it belongs to the great tradition that is concerned with the passion or eros of philosophy and of its "will to truth".
Truth and Eros suggests a way of reading Foucault and Lacan as philosophers who re-eroticised the activity of thought in our time, opening new and different spaces for thought and action - new types of subjectivity.

Jean-Claude Polack - L'obscur objet du cinéma: réflexion d'un psychanalyste cinéphile - Campagne Première, Fr, 2009


Jean-Claude Polack


L'obscur objet du cinéma: réflexion d'un psychanalyste cinéphile

Campagne Première  2009


Psychanalyste et cinéphile,l’auteur se propose, sous la forme d’essais, de souvenirs et de rêves, de rendre compte des affinités du langage cinématographique avec les productions de l’Inconscient. Ses réflexions sur quelques films qui l’ont particulièrement touché, veulent déborder les cadres usuels de la critique freudienne, généralement confinée à l’interprétation œdipienne et signifiante d’un récit.
Les textes ici rebroussent chemin vers l’image, le son,le mouvement et la durée ; et cherchent, au-delà des constructions narratives, les repères incertains mais intenses des perceptions et des affects.
Les souvenirs, l’enfance, les violences agies ou pensées, les fantasmes et les rêves doivent s’engager plus loin dans une autre « voie royale » de l’Inconscient, celle des psychoses, et montrer comment ces folies, individuelles ou collectives, tissent leurs liens avec les sociétés, la politique et l’histoire.
Bunuel, Cassavetes, Chaplin, Chabrol, Fellini, Grandrieux, Haneke, Hitchcock, Kubrick, Lynch, Tarkowski et Von Trier, parmi d’autres, sont tour à tour convoqués comme témoins d’une investigation secrète et tenace de l’obscur objet du cinéma : le Désir en effet, dans ses multiplicités.


Jean-Claude Polack est psychiatre, psychanalyste. Il a travaillé une douzaine d’années à la clinique de La Borde (fondée par Jean Oury), creuset – après Saint-Alban – de la « psychothérapie institutionnelle ». Il est membre d’un collectif de médecins et d’analystes à Paris, et directeur de la revue Chimères, fondée en 1987 par Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari.
Il a publié, La médecine du Capital, Paris, Maspero, 1971 ; La Borde ou le droit à la folie, Paris, Calmann-Lévy, 1976 ; l’Intime utopie, Paris, PUF, 1991 ; (avec Danielle Sivadon) Epreuves de la Folie, Erès, 2006.

The Guattari Effect - Eric Alliez and Andrew Goffey (eds.) - Continuum, Uk, 2011


The Guattari Effect


edited by Eric Alliez

edited by Andrew Goffey


Continuum 2011

A collection of essays from leading experts in a number of fields offering an overview of the work of Félix Guattari.



The Guattari Effect brings together internationally renowned experts on the work of the French psychoanalyst, philosopher and political activist Félix Guattari with philosophers, psychoanalysts, sociologists, anthropologists and artists who have been influenced by Guattari’s thought. 


Best known for his collaborative work with Gilles Deleuze, Guattari’s own writings are still a relatively unmined resource in continental philosophy. Many of his books have not yet been translated into English. Yet his influence has been considerable and far-reaching. This book explores the full spectrum of Guattari’s work, reassessing its contemporary significance and giving due weight to his highly innovative contributions to a variety of fields, including linguistics, economics, pragmatics, ecology, aesthetics and media theory. Readers grappling with the ideas of contemporary continental philosophers such as Badiou, Žižek and Rancière will at last be able to see Guattari as the ‘extraordinary philosopher’ Deleuze claimed him to be, with his distinctive radical ideas about the epoch of global ‘deterritorialization’ we live in today, forged within the practical contexts of revolutionary politics and the materialist critique of psychoanalysis.
