Lacan and Foucault go to Hitchcock’s movies. Aesthetic manifestations of anti-philosophy
Abstract
This paper aims to present some ways Lacan and
Foucault approach cinema, notably Alfred Hitchcock’s, and denote how such an
interest can be understood as a manifestation of an anti-philosophical
discourse. In that sense, it is necessary to understand anti-philosophy as an
“attitude” of placing oneself in front of the philosophical tradition in order
to question the status of what could be an ontology. This leads us to wonder
about the characteristics of the anti-philosophers. The working hypothesis is that
Lacan and Foucault —both belonging to the generation of the French 1960s— can
be considered anti-philosophers precisely because they tried to escape the
“suffocation” provoked by philosophy.
