Abstract

ABELLON, Milton. The Mediations of Erotic Self-Consciousness. The Butlerian Hermeneutics of Chapter IV of Phenomenology Of Spirit. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2020, n.59, pp.153-193.  Epub Nov 20, 2020. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v0i59.1093.

The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to systematize Butler’s reading of the introductory part and section A of chapter IV of the Phenomenology of Spirit through the joint approach of Subjects of Desire, The Psychic Life of Power and You Be My Body for My. Secondly, to take a critical position regarding the Butlerian hermeneutics. The existing research lacks a critical approach. We seek to problematize her reading so as to be able to contribute critically to the corpus of complementary bibliography on this issue.

Keywords : Judith Butler; Phenomenology of Spirit; dialectic of desire; life; body; intersubjectivity.
