Elissa Marder. The Perverse Tongue of Psychoanalysis. 2016

source: European Graduate School Video Lectures     2017年4月15日
http://www.egs.edu Elissa Marder, Professor of Philosophy at The European Graduate School / EGS. Saas Fee, Switzerland. August 17 2016.
Elissa Marder, in addition to being a professor of philosophy at The European Graduate School / EGS, is Chair of the French and Italian Departments, a professor of French and comparative literature, and formally affiliated with the Departments of Philosophy and Women Studies at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. Between 2001 and 2006, she was Director of the Emory Psychoanalytic Studies Program, of which she was also a founding member. She is a member of the executive committee of SIPP&ISSP (International Society of Psychoanalysis and Philosophy) and has been an International Fellow of the London Graduate School since its inception in 2010.

Elissa Marder received her BA from Cornell University and completed her PhD at Yale University in 1989 where she studied with Paul de Man, Shoshana Felman, Barbara Johnson, Fredric Jameson, and Jacques Derrida, among others. Her primary areas of interest include nineteenth and twentieth century French, British, and American literature; literary theory; psychoanalysis; film; photography; and feminist theory. She is currently working on a book on early nineteenth century French literature, as well as a major project on Walter Benjamin. Her book Dead Time: Temporal Disorders in the Wake of Modernity (Baudelaire and Flaubert) was published in 2001 by Stanford University Press. Her most recent book, The Mother in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction: Psychoanalysis, Photography, and Deconstruction, was published in 2012 by Fordham University Press. She is also the author of numerous articles in journals such as Yale French Studies, La Revue des sciences humaines, Camera Obscura, Diacritics, L'Esprit créateur, and Autrement.
Professor Marder's work draws from the frameworks of both psychoanalysis and deconstruction but runs her own unique theoretical thread through the ideas, associations, and images touched upon in her writings. In her first book, Dead Time: Temporal Disorders in the Wake of Modernity (Baudelaire and Flaubert), she argues that by explicitly placing time and temporal structures at the core of their nineteenth century literary works, Baudelaire and Flaubert implicitly provided twentieth and twenty-first century readers with a vocabulary for describing some of the "temporal disorders" that continue to haunt contemporary culture. Inspired by Walter Benjamin's derivation of the shock experience from his readings of Baudelaire's poems, Dead Time undertakes literary readings of Les Fleurs du mal and Madame Bovary to find new ways of thinking about the changing experience of lived time in modern and postmodern culture.

In The Mother in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction: Psychoanalysis, Photography, Deconstruction, Elissa Marder explores her long-standing fascination with the uncanny status of the mother in literature, philosophy, psychoanalysis, film, and photography. Inspired in large part by Avital Ronell's The Telephone Book, she argues that the maternal body often serves as an unacknowledged reference point for modern media technologies such as photography and the telephone, which attempt to mimic its reproductive properties. As the incarnation of our first relation to the strange exile of language, this book suggests that the mother is an inherently literary figure, whose primal presence in literary texts opens us up to the unspeakable relation to our own birth and, in so doing, helps us give birth to new and fantasmatic images of futures that might otherwise have remained unimaginable.
Most recently, Elissa Marder has begun work on a short book tentatively titled The Dream and the Guillotine: On Psycho-Photography and Other Fixations. Both dreams and the guillotine are related to photography. As Jacques Derrida and others have pointed out, Freud describes the dream work by comparing it to photographic processes. Furthermore, as has been well documented, the machinery and functioning of the guillotine was from the outset persistently identified with photography. The rapidity of the falling blade was likened to the action of the shutter in a camera, the necessary immobilization of the body was similar in both cases, and the guillotine and photography alike seemed to capture the moment at which a living body became fixed into a dead image. Another project, tentatively entitled Poetry By Other Means: Baudelaire's Afterlife and the late Writings of Walter Benjamin, picks up on some of the questions about poetry and temporality that Marder began to explore in Dead Time and takes them in new directions.

Wendy Brown. In the account of Neoliberalism. 2016

source: European Graduate School Video Lectures    2017年1月25日
http://www.egs.edu Wendy Brown, Professor of Philosophy at The European Graduate School / EGS. Saas-Fee Switzerland. August 13 2016.
Wendy Brown is Professor of Political Science at the University of California Berkeley. Her research interests include the history of political and social theory, Continental philosophy, and critical theory, together with the examination of contemporary capitalism. In her research into the problems that plague contemporary capitalism and neoliberalism, she employs theoretical works of Michel Foucault, Max Weber, Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and Frankfurt school.
In 1983, Wendy Brown received her doctoral degree from Princetown University. She subsequently taught at the University of California, Santa Cruz and also at Williams College. Since 1999, she has been teaching at the University of California, Berkeley.
Edgework: Critical Essays on Knowledge and Politics (2005) consists of seven articles which were all written for some particular occasion. Brown emphasises this trait of her book and claims that “such occasions mimic, in certain ways, the experience of the political realm: one is challenged to think here, now, about a problem that is set and framed by someone else, and to do so before a particular audience or in dialogue with others not of one’s own choosing.” Every essay in this book begins with a particular problem: what is the relationship between love, loyalty, and dissent in contemporary American political life?; how did neoliberal rationality become a form of governmentality?; what are the main problems of women’s studies programs?, etc. According to Brown, the aim of these essays is not to produce definitive answers to the given questions but “to critically interrogate the framing and naming practices, challenge the dogmas (including those of the Left and of feminism), and discern the constitutive powers shaping the problem at hand.”
In Regulating Aversion: Tolerance in the Age of Identity and Empire (2006), Wendy Brown subverts the usual and widely accepted conception that tolerance is one of the most remarkable achievements of the modern Western world. She argues that tolerance cannot be perceived as a complete opposite to violence, but that can also be used to justify violence. In order to substantiate this thesis, Brown associates tolerance with figures like George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Samuel Huntington, Susan Okin, Michael Ignatieff, Bernard Lewis, and Seyla Benhabib and claims that “tolerance as a political practice is always conferred by the dominant, it is always a certain expression of domination even as it offers protection or incorporation to the less powerful.”
Walled States, Waning Sovereignty (2010) examines the revival of wall-building in the contemporary world. She shows that the function of these walls is ultimately problematic because they cannot stop crimes, migration, or smuggling, cannot play a defensive role in the case of a war like they did in the past, and they cannot do anything against potential terrorist attacks. However, even if they cannot stop all these threats, walls still have an important symbolic function which Brown explores in her book.
Her most recent work Undoing the Demos: Neoliberalism’s Stealth Revolution (2015) uses Michel Foucault’s The Birth of Biopolitics to analyze the hollowing and evisceration of democracy under neoliberal rationality. Brown describes neoliberalism as a furtive attack on the very foundation of democracy. She treats “neoliberalism as a governing rationality through which everything is “economized” and in a very specific way: human beings become market actors and nothing but, every field of activity is seen as a market, and every entity (whether public or private, whether person, business, or state) is governed as a firm. Importantly, this is not merely a matter of extending commodification and monetization everywhere, as in the old Marxist depiction of capital’s transformation of everyday life. Neoliberalism construes even non-wealth generating spheres—such as learning, dating, or exercising—in market terms, submits them to market metrics, and governs them with market techniques and practices. Above all, it casts people as human capital who must constantly tend to their own present and future value.” To be saved, democracy again needs to become not only the object of theoretical rethinking but also of political struggle.

Christina Hendricks: Sigmund Freud, Civilization and its Discontents (01/27/2015)

source: Arts One Open     2015年1月27日
Christina Hendricks begins this lecture by giving some background in a few Freudian ideas and arguments that may help in making sense of the text, and then talks about connections between this text, Rousseau's Discourse on the Origin of Inequality, Plato's Republic, and Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols, while giving her reading of some of the main points of Freud's arguments. She ends with a quick question about the choice to start the book with a discussion of the "oceanic feeling" only to seemingly drop it, and then argues that we can see it reappear as a theme, in a way, in the end of the book.

A series of lectures by eminent scholars; coordinated by Professor Sobhanlal Datta Gupta, former S. N. Banerjee Professor of Political Science, Calcutta University. As we know, the German intellectual
tradition is of crucial importance for understanding of social sciences. Many important clues to the understanding of new perspectives like the debate on modernity and Enlightenment, postmodernism, post-colonialism, identity and self, etc. can be traced to the contributions of the German tradition. Considering the importance of this theme, Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata is going to launch a programme of lectures on the following thinkers, namely, Kant, Hegel, Marx, Max Weber,
Nietzsche, Freud, Husserl, Heidegger, Horkheimer, Adorno, Marcuse, Lukács, Popper, Gadamer, Wittgenstein, Arendt, Benjamin and Habermas. The first phase of the Programme (September, November, 2013; January, March, 2014) will cover four lectures on Kant, Hegel, Marx and Max
Weber. Each thinker would be discussed in two sessions, the duration being of two hours each. The sessions will be addressed by eminent resource persons, followed by interaction with the participants.

Aron Dunlap: Living in the Age of Anxiety; Jacques Lacan in Dialogue with Paul Tillich and Hannah Arendt

source: Shimer College Chicago   2015年4月8日
Public Lecture by Dr. Aron Dunlap, Asst. Prof. of the Liberal Arts at Shimer College, delivered at the Seminary Co-op Bookstore
-----
Description:
In the years following WWII there seemed to be a general consensus among intellectuals in the West that if there was a pathological underbelly to any psychological health we might presume to own, it was anxiety. This was, they agreed, the Age of Anxiety, which was the title of a long poem by W.H. Auden that functioned as the inspiration for Leonard Bernstein’s 2nd symphony. The phrase made its way into common parlance and we see it forming the nucleus of concern in theologian Paul Tillich’s tremendously popular work, The Courage to Be. In this work, Tillich agreed with existentialists such as Sartre that, while fear has an object, the problem with anxiety was that it had none. For these thinkers, anxiety was part and parcel of human life, and one had to learn to take responsibility for a life that would never be free of the awe(ful) dread of living and the certainty of death. For Freud, the neurotic anxiety issuing from the castration complex was a kind of “bedrock” beyond which psychoanalysis could not venture. In his wake, Jacques Lacan re-interpreted this aspect of his master’s thought while also challenging the existentialists by claiming that anxiety, in fact, is “not without its object,” namely, objet a, the object cause of desire, which stands in the confluence of Lacan’s three registers of the Symbolic, Imaginary and Real, and which is an entirely dependable “signal” of the Real. While Hannah Arendt uses a radically different vocabulary, there is, in her political thought, something that, like objet a, falls away. In the American political experience what falls away is enjoyment in politics. What takes its places is the inevitable duality (right, left; conservative, liberal) that settles down in the place vacated by the object cause of desire.

Anne Dufourmantelle, Ph.D., is a French psychoanalyst, philosopher and author. Anne studied medicine and philosophy for two years in Paris and completed her doctorate (Ph.D) at Paris-IV university (Sorbonne). Her thesis was entitled : La vocation prophétique de la philosophie (The Prophetic Vocation of Philosophy) with studies on Soeren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Emmanuel Levinas and Patocka. It was published some years later by les éditions du Cerf and received the Academie Française for philosophy. During Anne's studies at la Sorbonne, she had the opportunity to take one year off to study "humanities" at Brown university, with Georges Morgan. She translated Nelson Goodman's _Language of Art_, and and wrote an essay on "The Structure of Appearance," which would lead her, upon returning to France, to teach at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris La Villette (School of Architecture (UP6) of La Villette, for five years a seminar on Aesthetics and "thinking architecture". This experience also drove Anne to publish some dialogues between architects and philosophers, such as, for example, between Christian de Portzamparc and Philippe Sollers (2004) or between Jean Baudrillard and Jean Nouvel (2000). Then Anne went on to direct a non-fiction collection as a publisher for Calmann-Levy on the field of philosophy. Anne studied with Jacques Derrida whom she had just met ("On Hospitality", Calmann-Levy, 1998 -- 17 translations), and also Vaclav Havel, Alain Didier-Weill, Alessandro Baricco, Julia Kristeva, Antonio Negri, George Steiner, Peter Sloterdijk, Frédéric Boyer, Belinda Cannone, etc... (more than 50 books published since). Then Anne left Calmann-Levy and continued with Stock (also in the Hachette group) the same type of collection, untitled "L'autre pensée", again in the field of philosophy, publishing thinkers like Slavoj Zizek, Noam Chomsky, Jacques Derrida again, Avital Ronell (2 books translated) -- Theodor Adorno, Rabaté, as well as some texts in psychoanalysis, literature studies, anthropology, sociology.

Rally of the Impossible Professions: Jacques-Alain Miller (part 1)

source: LacanLondon   2008年10月27日
Concluding comments by Jacques-Alain Miller part 1.
We stand in a moment of ever-increasing commodification and marketisation of public services, which has seen problems arising in the mode of reform in the NHS; excessive testing and league tables in education; a push to make changes in the relationship between the police and the citizen that erode officer discretion; and in the field of mental health, the impending regulation of the psychological therapies threatens to impose a crushing standardisation of the talking therapies including psychoanalysis in various forms. This is to name just a few of the domains of civil life that are affected by these drives.

Against this background, the London Society of the New Lacanian School in association with the Federation of European Schools of Psychoanalysis is calling A Rally of the Impossible Professions. Sigmund Freud named three: to educate, to govern and to psychoanalyse. Today, we find that the concept of profession is itself under siege by impossible promises; promises of protection, of safety, of security.

On Saturday, 20th September 2008, with guest speaker Jacques-Alain Miller, we were pleased to welcome Richard Gombrich, Keith Hayward, Mark Neocleous, Michael Power, Robert Snell and an audience of participants bringing a wealth of experience from diverse fields of practice. In this gathering of voices, we opened a conversation; one that listens for something Beyond the False Promises of Security.
