Judith Butler y Ernesto Laclau: debates sobre la subjetividad, el psicoanálisis y la política

this article is a theoretical discussion on subjectivity and identity, as addressed by judith butler and ernesto laclau. i explore the implications of the use of psychoanalytical concepts for those definitions. the question about subjectivity and identity is linked to the broader discussion about the transcendence or the historicity of categories for the analysis of the social and the cultural. i focus on the theoretical counterpoint among the authors regarding themes such as universality, politics and historicity.
