This exploration of seminal French theoretical writings approaches
them as coherent philosophical fictions and brings to light their
contradictory political, social and pedagogical implications and
their complex historicity.;Because Lacan, Barthes, Foucault and
Derrida have been so innovative and challenging in the different
disciplines they worked with, their writings have been widely and
selectively pillaged. But, as they well knew, ideas, methods,
structures and styles of writing are never "neutral" or "innocent";
they always have pedagogical, social and political consequences.
Pillaging does not neutralize those consequences; it merely allows
them to operate unchosen, unquestioned and unchecked.;By replacing
them in very various French contexts, this book indicates important
differences between the situation of university intellectuals in
France and those in England or America. Eve Tavor Bannet not only
sheds new light on influential theoretical texts; she also raises
questions about academic writing and about the intellectual's role
in the university and in the modern world.;Eve Tavor Bannet is the
author of "Scepticism, Society and the Eighteenth Century Novel".
