Que faire (with Discourse)? A materialist approach to discourse, ideology and politics in neoliberal conjuncture

Abstract

Althusser'sQue Faire?(2018) allows for a critical revision of the "discursive turn" in current social and political theory. As Pêcheux shows, the influences of Spinoza and Freud can be recognized and elaborated on to develop aclinicaltheory of discourse capable of taking into account overdetermination and class struggle in a rigorous way.
