A reconfiguration of the reception of Deleuze and Lacan in
contemporary Continental philosophyIt is often said that Lacan is
the most radical representative of structuralism, a thinker of
negativity and alienation, whereas Deleuze is pictured as a great
opponent of the structuralist project, a vitalist and a thinker of
creative potentialities of desire. It seems the two cannot be
further apart. This volume of 12 new essays, breaks the myth of
their foreignness (if not hostility) and places the two in a
productive conversation. By taking on topics such as baroque,
perversion, death drive, ontology/topology, face, linguistics and
formalism the essays highlight key entry points for a discussion
between Lacan's and Deleuze's respective thoughts. The proposed
lines of investigation do not argue for a simple equation of their
thoughts, but for a 'disjunctive synthesis', which acknowledges
their differences, while insisting on their positive and mutually
informed reading.ContributorsLorenzo Chiesa, European University at

What is perversion? How does it emerge within contemporary thought,
politics and culture? To what extent might it be possible to speak
of a politics, aesthetics or even ontology of perversion? This book
examines the philosophical and political relevance of perversion in
the works of three key representatives of contemporary philosophy
and psychoanalysis: Gilles Deleuze, Giorgio Agamben and Jacques
Lacan. Perversion is often understood simply in terms of cultural
or sexual phenomena. By contrast, Bostjan Nedoh places perversion
at the heart of philosophical and political issues in the works
Deleuze, Agamben and Lacan. It examines the relevance of their
discussions of perversion for their respective philosophical
projects (Deleuze, Agamben) or for the critique of philosophy
(Lacan). By tracing the differences between these thinkers'
understanding of perversion, the book finally draws lines of
delimitation between the vitalist and the structuralist or
psychoanalytic philosophical positions in contemporary philosophy.
