Dorothée Legrand
Dorothée Legrand is a researcher in philosophy (CNRS, Ecole Normale Supérieure, Archives Husserl, Paris, France) and psychoanalyst. Her work associates (post-)phenomenology (including subversive readings of phenomenology as those of Levinas and Derrida) and psychoanalysis, in order to conceptualize the body as subjectively loaded with an irreducible alterity. She is particularly interested in how a subject consciously and unconsciously performs itself, by engaging its speaking body to address and respond to another. In her theoretical and clinical work, this characterization of the body is tied to her consideration of neurotic and psychotic mobilizations, transformations and alterations of (inter-)subjectivity.
