In the light of Lacanian psychoanalysis, this article introduces the notion of ‘paralleocomplicit antagonism.’ The notion of paralleocomplicit antagonism refers to the form of antagonism in which both of the antagonistic sides draw enjoyment from conspiring to prolong and escalate the antagonistic situation. I consider this notion as particularly important for analysing political antagonism because this notion can make salient the role of enjoyment in political antagonism. This article will firstly give a brief review of the analytical observations of paralleocomplicit antagonism in scholarly literature. I will then provide a Lacanian interpretation to the circulation of enjoyment in paralleocomplicit antagonism. Finally, I will put my analysis in the context of the recent post-structuralist debates on the notion of ‘antagonism’ to show the contributions and the limits of this notion. |
