Axel Honneth considers the contemporary political scenario in terms of a struggle for recognition among different individual or collective identities. But if recognition is based on a normative framework of intelligibility, then it can only be sensitive to those political claims that are already identified by that framework. Then the recognition paradigm is limited in terms of the possibility of making visible claims that are not intelligible. This paper discusses Honneth’s conception of recognition through two different authors and traditions: on the one hand the paper uses Judith Butler's conceptions of ‘recognizability’ and ‘apprehension’ in order to re-think recognition in the political domain and, on the other hand, it uses Lacan’s conception and criticism of the recognition paradigm to argue with Honneth in the psychoanalytical domain. So, the main hypothesis of this paper is that a certain re-reading of Gorgio Agamben’s conception of testimony through Judith Butler’s criticism of the recognition paradigm can produce a new approach to exclusion in the political field as well as in psychoanalytical practice. In this sense, the act of witnessing would be a type of recognition that, instead of confirming the intelligibility framework, performs and offers to the excluded the limit of the framework.

Rodrigo de la Fabián

Rodrigo de la Fabián, studied psychology at the Universidad Diego Portales (UDP), Santiago de Chile. He subsequently did his master’s and doctoral studies in psychoanalysis at the Université Paris-Diderot (Paris VII). He is currently working as a psychoanalyst and is an Associate Professor at and Director of the Graduate School of the Faculty of Psychology at the UDP. Since completing his doctoral thesis – which was on the works of E. Lévinas and J. Lacan – he has worked in the intersecting fields of psychoanalysis and philosophy. In particular, his intellectual work concerns the ethical-political consequences of different ways of conceiving and producing subjectivity and subjectivation processes. His research work is currently focused on the recognition paradigm, confronting authors such as: Lacan, Althusser, Foucault, Agamben, Butler, Honneth, Fraser, Taylor, among others. He recently published an article on Lévinas and Psychoanalysis entitled: “Une critique du paradigme tragique en psychanalyse à partir de la conception éthique de la subjectivité chez Emmanuel Lévinas. De l’assomption tragique au soupçon comique de la castration”. “A critique of the tragic paradigm in psychoanalysis based on Emmanuel Lévinas’s ethical conception of subjectivity. From the tragic assumption to the comic acknowledgement of castration.” (L’évolution psychiatrique 75 (2010) 565–581).
