The body has always had the potential to unsettle us with its
strange exigencies and suppurations, its demands and desires, and
thus throughout the ages, it has continued to be a subject of
interest and obsession. This collection of twelve peer-reviewed
essays on Jacques Lacan and Michel Foucault interrogates the body
in all of its beauty...and with all of its blights and blemishes.
Written by a diverse body of scholars-art historians, cultural
theorists, English professors, philosophers, psychoanalysts, and
sociologists from North America and Europe-these essays bring into
conversation two intellectual giants frequently seen as
antagonists, and thus rarely seen together. Topics covered include:
the intersections of Foucault and Lacan and how they bring to light
new thoughts on the senses, the self-destructive body, ableism and
disability in Guillermo del Toro's film The Shape of Water, body
image and the ego, selfie-culture, and metamorphosis in Ottessa
Moshfegh's novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation, among others.
