A reconfiguration of the reception of Deleuze and Lacan in
contemporary Continental philosophyIt is often said that Lacan is
the most radical representative of structuralism, a thinker of
negativity and alienation, whereas Deleuze is pictured as a great
opponent of the structuralist project, a vitalist and a thinker of
creative potentialities of desire. It seems the two cannot be
further apart. This volume of 12 new essays, breaks the myth of
their foreignness (if not hostility) and places the two in a
productive conversation. By taking on topics such as baroque,
perversion, death drive, ontology/topology, face, linguistics and
formalism the essays highlight key entry points for a discussion
between Lacan's and Deleuze's respective thoughts. The proposed
lines of investigation do not argue for a simple equation of their
thoughts, but for a 'disjunctive synthesis', which acknowledges
their differences, while insisting on their positive and mutually
informed reading.ContributorsLorenzo Chiesa, European University at
