FONSECA, Thales. Structuralism and some of its vicissitudes: policy and subject. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.2, pp.387-409. ISSN 0103-5665. https://doi.org/10.33208/PC1980-5438v0032n02A09.
This essay emerges from two interwoven inquiries: one of them about the limits of structuralism concerning the proposal of an emancipatory policy; the other about the importance of the concept of subject for this kind of political proposal. Therefore, we weave a short course about the concept of structure as a central object of structuralism. Next, we articulated the notions of ideology and power according to Althusser and Foucault, from the omnipresent character of these instances in these philosophers' theories, which we hold that arises from the omnipresence of the concept of structure; and the consequences of such omnipresence for the category of subject. Later, we display the divergences between Lacan and the other authors about the concept of subject, highlighting the political reach of this construct and of the psychoanalytic clinic itself.
