| Résumé: | This text shows how much the queer movement’s ideal of fluidity owes to the Baltimore colloquium (1966), during which Derrida severely criticized Lévi-Strauss’s text (“Introduction” to Sociologie et Anthropologie), ultimately founding post structuralism or “French theory” and consigning the structuralist moment of thought to oblivion. As it happens, it was precisely this same text that influenced Lacan’s conversion to structuralism, albeit fifteen years earlier. The thesis, then, is that the infatuation of American intellectuals with post-structuralism – and especially with the tenors of queer philosophy – leaves behind the earlier period of structuralism, which they most often straddled without realizing it, and thus prevents them from taking account of all the upheavals that Lacan’s conversion to structuralism brought about in the Freudian field, foremost among which was the rejection of the familialist ideals of psychoanalysis too often promoted by Freud. Hence the cascade of misunderstandings of Lacan’s text by queer philosophy and the blindness concerning the ethics of Lacan’s psychoanalysis, which is no longer Freud’s. |
