Lacan's A Genealogy offers a comprehensive genealogical exploration of his entire body of work, spanning from his early writings on paranoid psychosis to his later investigations into the realms of real and surplus enjoyment. Beistegui contends that a thorough genealogy is essential to chart and interpret Lacan's central concept of desire. This genealogy adopts a historical and critical perspective, drawing inspiration from Foucault and involving the exploration of how our current subjectivity has been shaped through theoretical and practical transformations, the emergence of specific discourses of truth, the establishment of particular institutions, and the dynamics of power relations.
Throughout this genealogical journey, desire emerges as a pivotal thread, intricately woven into the fabric of liberal political economy, psychiatry, psychopathology, and the diverse discourses of recognition that shape our contemporary politics of identity. Moreover, it holds a paramount significance in our understanding, experience, and governance of ourselves, both ethically and politically. A novel interpretation of Lacan emphasizes the radicality and urgency of his concepts, while also highlighting the intricate relationship between desire, norm, and the law.
This genealogical exploration sheds light on the complex web of influences that have shaped Lacan's thought, providing a deeper understanding of his contributions to psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the broader social and political landscape. By delving into the historical and theoretical roots of his ideas, A Genealogy offers a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike, facilitating a fresh and insightful perspective on Lacan's enduring legacy.
