"Vital Signs" offers a radical new understanding of the role of
psychoanalytic theory in contemporary French thought. Drawing on
the work of Lacan, Kristeva, Foucault, and lesser-known thinkers
Eugenie Lemoine-Luccioni and Catherine Millot, Shepherdson argues
that we have misinterpreted the nature/culture distinction in
relation to psychoanalysis. He shows how the constitution of
subject, and the phenomenon of the body, are irreducible to this
distinction, and argues that the reception of French psychoanalysis
has been wrongly governed by the debate between biological models
and symbolic theories of social construction. Shepherdson
approaches this dilemma through a series of specific topics, using
both theoretical texts and clinical material. The topics discussed
(transsexualism, anorexia, maternity, and femininity), allow the
author to bridge the gulf between theory and clinical practice, and
to distinguish psychoanalysis from its disciplinary neighbors in
contemporary social theory. "Vital Signs" will be of interest to
philosophers, psychoanalysts, and those involved in literary and
cultural studies.
