520 |a The body has always had the potential to unsettle us with its strange exigencies and suppurations, its demands and desires, and thus throughout the ages, it has continued to be a subject of interest and obsession. This collection of twelve peer-reviewed essays on Jacques Lacan and Michel Foucault interrogates the body in all of its beauty and with all of its blights and blemishes. Written by a diverse body of scholars, including art historians, cultural theorists, English professors, philosophers, psychoanalysts and sociologists from North America and Europe, these essays bring into conversation two intellectual giants frequently seen as antagonists, and thus rarely seen together. Topics covered include the intersections of Foucault and Lacan and how they bring to light new thoughts on the senses, the self-destructive body, ableism and disability in Guillermo del Toro's film The Shape of Water, body image and the ego, selfie-culture and metamorphosis in Ottessa Moshfegh's novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation, among others.
