Lacan: A Genealogy provides a genealogical account of Lacan's work
as a whole, from his early writings on paranoid psychosis to his
later work on the real and surplus enjoyment. Beistegui argues that
Lacan's work requires an in-depth genealogy to chart and interpret
the his key concept of desire. The genealogy is both a historical
and critical approach, inspired by Foucault, which consists in
asking how - that is, by what theoretical and practical
transformations, by the emergence of which discourses of truth,
which institutions, and which power relations - our current
subjectivity was shaped. Desire is a crucial thread throughout
because it lies at the heart not only of liberal political economy,
psychiatry and psychopathology, and the various discourses of
recognition (from philosophy to psychology and the law) that shape
our current politics of identity, but also, and more importantly,
of the manner in which we understand, experience and indeed govern
ourselves, ethically and politically. A novel reading of Lacan that
foregrounds the radicality and urgency of his concepts and the
relationship between desire, norm and the law.
