El cuerpo en discordia: Judith Butler y la reactivación de la dialéctica del amo y el esclavo

In this article I propose to study the interpretation of Butler around dialectics between master and slave. I recognize two original points in her research: the place of the body in Hegel’s philosophy and the role of the unfortunate consciousness. On the other hand, I would like to criticize the link that Butler proposes between the structure of subjection in Hegel and the notion of subjection in Foucault’s writings. I will take distance from Butler’s interpretation, since I prefer to explore a different relationship between both thinkers. Finally, I incorporate the works of Malabou, when she discusses with Butler about the place of the body in Hegel’s philosophy
