Abstract

This project aims at developing one of the stages of our Master research project, which examines the integration of Freudian psychoanalysis in Lyotard's thought with respect to the figural concept as described in his Doctorate thesis Discours, Figure. The development of this project during this stage of the research will enable an accurate understanding of the debates previously raised. (AU)
