Abstract

LAIA, Sérgio. Foucault: his writing, his life, and the psychoanalysis. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2018, vol.24, n.1, pp. 360-370. ISSN 1677-1168.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5752/P.1678-9563.2018v24n1p360-370.

This text investigates how Foucault's ambiguity with regard to psychoanalysis is not restricted to his formulations of how the Freudian discovery both subverts the nets of power and is involved by its plots. There is an ambiguity in the way Foucault uses his writing to advance in questions regarding not only philosophy, politics and knowledge, but also his body and his life, and this without any analytical experience. Lacan's formulation concerning the parlêtreand the sinthomewill be important to elucidate how Foucault applied to his life and his writings what he called "the aesthetics of existence".

Keywords : Life; Writings; Work; Sinthome; Aesthetics of existence.
