Structuralism and the Logic of Dissent - Barthes, Derrida, Foucault, Lacan (Hardcover)

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".
