{"product_id":"why-there-is-no-poststructuralism-in-france","title":"Why There Is No Poststructuralism in France","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrench 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eWhy There is No Poststructuralism in France\u003c\/i\u003e 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.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833533935821,"sku":"9781474226301","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_54b2ba06-e21a-4490-9463-bafff5eed1eb.jpg?v=1790888510","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/why-there-is-no-poststructuralism-in-france","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
