“Killer Althusser offers a powerful feminist analysis of Hlne Legotien’s murder by her husband, Louis Althusser. Dupuis-Dri interrogates the depoliticization of the murder and the exoneration of the killer. Situating Legotien’s murder within a continuum of femicide, he challenges narratives that cast the murder as a crime of passion or an episode from which Althusser was ‘absent,’ instead revealing it for what it is: not extraordinary, but ordinary; not a rupture, but another instance of gendered violence. Althusser emerges not as ‘the philosopher’ or the tormented genius, but as a woman killer—a fact too often occluded by the reverence of his posterity. Killer Althusser—a must-read for political philosophers and feminists—recentres Hlne Legotien’s life and work and exposes male violence against women as a recurring social phenomenon.”
