Taking as its starting point the fundamental historical and theoretical problems within 20th-century philosophy of language, this project aims to investigate the relationships between French phenomenology and the theory of language—as well as between linguistics and philosophy—incorporating insights from Freudian psychoanalysis.
The researcher will focus primarily on the concept of the unconscious, with particular attention to the relationship between language, perceptual processes, praxis, and the institutions of meaning.
