Gavin Rae offers us a new evaluation of poststructuralist thought.
This involves a re-conception of the embodied subject as a
continual process within and defined by ever-changing
configurations of the social, the symbolic and the psychic.He shows
that the question of the subject is central for poststructuralist
thinkers, that they are aware of the problematic status of agency
that arises from their decentring of the subject and that they
offer heterogeneous solutions to resolve it. First, showing how
this plays out in the thinking of Deleuze, Derrida and Foucault,
Rae subsequently demonstrates that it is with those
poststructuralists associated with and influenced by Lacanian
psychoanalysis that this issue most clearly comes to the fore. He
goes on to reveal that the conceptual schema of Cornelius
Castoriadis best explains how the founded subject is capable of
agency.
