Special issue devoted to the work of Jean-Claude Milner
Perhaps best known now in the English-speaking world for his bitter dispute with Alain Badiou over the status of the signifier Jew, Jean-Claude Milner's influence on the emerging shape of Lacanian psychoanalysis is recorded in his interventions in the closed sessions of the seminars of the 1960s and 70s. An integral member of the circle around Jacques Lacan and the École freudienne de Paris (EFP), Milner has authored a remarkable series of works intersecting philosophy, politics, literature and linguistics, including L'Œuvre claire: Lacan, la science et la philosophie, Le Juif de savoir, Les penchants criminels de l'Europe démocratique, Constats, Le Pas philosophique de Roland Barthes, Le triple du plaisir and many others, the majority of which have yet to be translated into English.
For this special issue, we invite contributions that bring out the theoretical, political, philosophical and artistic stakes of the Milner/Badiou debate as a key site of collision between the all and not-all (pas-tout), as well as essays that serve to situate and frame Milner's own ‘œuvre claire' as it relates to and bears on the concerns of psychoanalysis.
We also welcome essays on topics unrelated to the special issue.
