Lacan Deleuze Badiou

Beschreibung

'This book is perversely brilliant in its eclecticism. The authors thread their way through the topics of contemporaneity, time, the Event, and truth/Truth, swerving between Badiou, Deleuze, and Lacan. In the process of this tour de force, they take in much of the landscape of contemporary philosophy and anti-philosophy.' Henry Krips, Claremont Graduate University 'This is a fierce ride through the tangled relations of Lacan, Deleuze and Badiou. Readers will thrill to its edginess, intuitions, learning and irreverence. It would be easy to be thrown, though, hurt and bemused by a wild swirl of ideas. Inspect it warily, before mounting only if it suits.' James Williams, University of Dundee A critical intervention into some key conceptual dissensions between three influential thinkers The theoretical writings of Jacques Lacan, Gilles Deleuze and Alain Badiou stand at the heart of contemporary European thought. While the combined corpus of these three figures contains a significant number of references to each other's work, such references are often simply critical, obscure - or both. Lacan Deleuze Badiou guides us through these crucial, under-remarked interrelations, identifying the conceptual passages, connections and disjunctions that underlie the often superficial statements of critique, indifference or accord. Working through the rubrics of the contemporary, time, the event and truth, Bartlett, Clemens and Roffe present a new, lucid account of where these three thinkers stand in relation to one another and why their nexus remains unsurpassed as a point of reference for contemporary thought itself. A. J. Bartlett is Adjunct Research Fellow at Monash University. Justin Clemens is Senior Lecturer at the School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne. Jon Roffe is McKenzie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Melbourne. Cover image: Lacan Deleuze Badiou (c) Adam Nash. Cover design: [EUP logo] www.euppublishing.com
