Navigating labyrinths: fragmented identities and political culture on the couch

Abstract

This review addresses the book of the French historian and psychoanalyst Elisabeth Roudinesco, a controversial (and necessary) critical reconstruction of taboo subjects of the political thought and action related to postcolonial, decolonial and subaltern studies and to black, radical feminist and queer movements. The author focuses on what she calls “identity adrifts”, consolidated in studies and academic scholarship on gender, race, “postcolonialities” and intersectionality, in parallel to right-wing “identitarianism”.

Keywords
identitarianism; political culture; gender; race; postcolonial studies
