ABSTRACT

On reading Fanon's Black Skin, White Masks (1952), one finds a number of references to Lacan and to the Lacanian school, and especially to the mirror-stage. J.-J. Goux (1968, 1969) has attempted to use the Imaginary relationship between ego's and the 'symbolic function' of the phallus, in Marxist exchange theory (cf. Chapter IX), and Lacan's 1949 article on the mirror-stage has appeared in a British journal, The New Left Review (1968), as did an article on Lacan by Louis Althusser.
