Critics and Care: The Figure of the Parrhesiast as Reader and Writer of Knots

Abstract. In this article I tie the function of criticism to the care of the self and others. To do this, I not only use well-known Foucauldian notions (criticism, self-care) but also Lacanian psychoanalysis, in particular the logic of knotting that I have been developing for a long time (sinthome,...

In this article I tie the function of criticism to the care of the self and others. To do this, I not only use well-known Foucauldian notions (criticism, self-care) but also Lacanian psychoanalysis, in particular the logic of knotting that I have been developing for a long time (sinthome, Borromean knot).

En este artículo anudo la función de la crítica al cuidado de sí y de los otros. Para ello no solo me sirvo de nociones foucaultianas conocidas (crítica, cuidado de sí) sino del psicoanálisis lacaniano, en particular de la lógica del anudamiento que vengo elaborando desde hace tiempo (sinthome, nudo borromeo). Parto de un diagnóstico de situación sobre el neoliberalismo y delimito algunos vectores clave para elaborar una respuesta crítica acorde a ello. Apelo a una actualización de la figura del parresiasta como aquel que dice la verdad y se expone a un riesgo concreto al hacerlo. Por último, asumo esa enunciación en nombre propio, para mostrar que la implicación es necesaria si se desea transformar algo en el ejercicio de la crítica.
