However, the alternative Graeber and Wengrow offer –a world of imaginative and experimental humans freely choosing different forms of society– excessively downplays the political mediating role of non-human things. This move, in turn, is overly dependent on a modernist ontology that opposes free human thought to mechanically deterministic things. Drawing on the insights of Actor-Network Theory in particular, this article argues for the central role of inanimate objects in the political sphere.","PeriodicalId":40614,"journal":{"name":"Bajo Palabra-Journal of Philosophy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47510022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, the focus will be placed on the campaign organized by Nina Krajnik in favor of the psychoanalytic clinic and against the theoretical psychoanalysis of Slavoj Žižek, Alenka Zupan?i? and Mladen Dolar. It is of particular interest to examine how Krajnik’s arguments are embedded in a broader project aiming both at an expansion of the World Association of Psychoanalysis (WAP) headed by Jacques- Alain Miller, and at obtaining a monopoly over psychoanalytic theory and its political effects. It will be shown that it is possible to find the first manifestations of this process in Latin America even before the WAP project. In this sense, based on the productions of Dolar, Zupancic and Žižek, some current contributions of the Slovenian school will be shown, which are taken up here in the light of the Latin American context, seeking to illuminate the theoretical, institutional, political, ideological and cultural implications of the domination and hegemony of the Millerian current in the psychoanalytic field. This logic of power, as will be seen, has not prevented the emergence and development of some radical and irreverent approaches which, nevertheless, seem to have failed: in some Latin American countries, such as Argentina, Millerian psychoanalysis managed to impose itself even more intensely than in France itself. This poses a challenge and a dilemma worthy of consideration and which must be taken up.","PeriodicalId":40614,"journal":{"name":"Bajo Palabra-Journal of Philosophy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46724927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
