2Philosophy to Historicism
To the extent that Foucault fits into the
philosophical tradition, it is the critical
tradition of Kant, and his project could be
called A Critical History of Thought.
-Foucault Dictionnaire des Philosophes 1984 942
3Historicism to Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is the mother tongue of our
modernity and the important issues of our time
are scarcely articulable outside the concepts it
has forged. -Copjec Imagine Theres No Woman

4Psychoanalysis to Queer Theory
Although I am critical of certain appropriations
of psychoanalysis for thinking about the limits
of political self-identification, I will hope to
make clear the centrality of psychoanalysis to
any project that seeks to understand emancipatory
projects in both their psychic and social
dimensions. -Butler Contingency, Hegemony,
Universality 2000 14
