Judith Miller (French: [milɛʁ]; 3 July 1941 – 6 December 2017) was a French psychoanalyst, born in Antibes. She was the daughter of the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan and Sylvia Bataille. Her spouse was Lacanian Jacques-Alain Miller.

Work

As a Maoist philosophy lecturer at Vincennes in Paris, Miller's radicalism was used as a reason for her philosophy department to be decertified.[1] This occurred after she handed out course credit to someone she met on a bus, and subsequently publicly declared in a radio interview that the university is a capitalist institution,[2] and that she would do everything she could to make it run as badly as possible. After this, she was demoted by the French education department to a lycée teacher.[citation needed]

Death

Judith Miller died on 6 December 2017 in Paris, aged 76.
