Lacan Judith

French psychoanalyst who is the daughter of the radical psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and Sylvia Bataille. Her spouse is the prominent Lacanian Jacques-Alain Miller. As a Maoist philosophy lecturer at Vincennes in Paris, her radicalism was used as a reason for her philosophy department to be decertified. This occurred after she handed out course credit to someone she met on a bus, and subsequently publicly declared in a radio interview that the university is a capitalist institution, and that she would do everything she could to make it run as badly as possible. After this, she was demoted by the French education department to a lycée teacher. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
