French thinkers such as Lacan and Derrida are often labelled as
representatives of 'poststructuralism' in the Anglophone world.
However in France, where their work originated, they use no such
category; this group of theorists – 'the poststructuralists' - were
never perceived as a coherent intellectual group or movement.
Outlining the institutional contexts, affinities, and rivalries of,
among others, Althusser, Barthes, Foucault, Irigaray, and Kristeva,
Angermuller – drawing from Bourdieu's concepts of cultural capital
and the academic field – insightfully explores post-structuralism as
a phenomenon. By tracing the evolution of the French intellectual
field after the war, Why There is No Poststructuralism in France
places French Theory both in the specific material conditions of its
production and the social and historical contexts of its reception,
accounting for a particularly creative moment in French intellectual
life which continues to inform the theoretical imaginary of our time.
