Papers by Ville Louekari
The challenge will be to analyse the nature of the Hegelian body, while recognizing that Hegel himself does not analyse it further. I will ask if the Hegelian body is that of psychoanalysis, by referring to Lacan’s theory of the formative function of the Gestalt of the body. I claim that the Hegelian body is similar but ultimately incompatible with the Lacanian one. I will find a striking similarity however with Deleuze’s and Guattari’s idea of a body without organs. I will look at the Hegelian body through the analysis of bodies without organs in A Thousand Plateaus.
Finally, the ambition will be to problematize Deleuze’s and Guattari’s idea of a body without organs by seeing it all too compatible with Hegel’s analysis of the phrenologist’s body. I will also argue that Hegel’s analysis of the human body in §312 has an important historical dimension, which we have to take into account when we discuss the ethics of a bodies without organs on the one hand, and the nature of the Hegelian body on the other.
