Zusammenfassung:Does the poststructuralist decentring of the foundational subject permit a coherent account of agency?Analyses poststructuralist thinking on 'the subject' in detail, tying it to the often-ignored question of agencyExpands the scope of 'poststructuralism' beyond Deleuze, Derrida, and Foucault by also engaging with psychoanalytically orientated poststructuralists including Butler, Castoriadis, Kristeva and Lacan Draws out the complicated link between poststructuralism and Lacanian psychoanalysisGavin Rae shows that the problematic status of agency caused by the poststructuralist decentring of the subject is a prime concern for poststructuralist thinkers.
