Specifically the topics of [[sexuality]], the [[theory]] of the [[subject]], [[history]] and [[historicism]], [[scientific]] [[formalization]], and ultimately [[politics]]. In doing so, the authors in this volume open up new connections between Lacan and Foucault and shine a light on their contemporary relevance to politics and [[critical theory]].

==Reviews==
"Taking us back and beyond the misleading [[cultural]] theory debate between 'structuralism' and '[[poststructuralism]]' at the end of the twentieth century, this book sets the record straight, revisiting crucial discussions of [[knowledge]], [[truth]] and [[causality]] and refining the [[conceptual]] agenda for an exciting path forward still available today and more salutary than ever."
–James Penney, Professor of Cultural Studies and [[French]] & Francophone Studies, Trent University, Canada
"Too often these two titans of 20th Century French [[thought]] have been treated in parallel, like train tracks that move in the same direction but never intersect. Lacan Contra Foucault addresses this with excellent chapters by renowned thinkers that highlight points of contact and divergence: psychoanalysis and sexuality, structuralism and Marxism, knowledge-[[power]] and the politics of [[subjectivity]]. An indispensable collection that puts our [[thinking]] about these two [[figures]] on new tracks!"
-Colin Wright, [[Psychoanalyst]] and Associate Professor of Critical Theory, The University of Nottingham, UK.
