French thinkers such as Lacan and Derrida are often labelled as
representatives of 'poststructuralism' in the Anglophone world.
However in France, where their work originated, they use no such
category; this group of theorists - 'the poststructuralists' - were
never perceived as a coherent intellectual group or movement.
Outlining the institutional contexts, affinities, and rivalries of,
among others, Althusser, Barthes, Foucault, Irigaray, and Kristeva,
Angermuller - drawing from Bourdieu's concepts of cultural capital
and the academic field - insightfully explores post-structuralism
as a phenomenon. By tracing the evolution of the French
intellectual field after the war, Why There is No Poststructuralism
in France places French Theory both in the specific material
conditions of its production and the social and historical contexts
of its reception, accounting for a particularly creative moment in
French intellectual life which continues to inform the theoretical
imaginary of our time.
