    InForm: Peter Rollins on Psychoanalysis, Theology, Community, and the Work He Does

    In this episode of the InForm:Podcast, I speak with Peter Rollins, the man behind pyro-theology, the Wake festival, the Spark retreat, Atheism for Lent, and many more things that can provoke all sorts of interesting experiences and elaborations. I first became aware of Pete's work many years back as I was attempting to build up my own understanding of Lacan. I don't remember exactly how it happened, but I found a video of him talking about Lacanian ideas, where he explained them in ways I found intelligible and useful. This led to me watching more of his videos, listening to his podcast, and then reading his books.  Today, what interests me about Pete's work is the way that he goes about building engaged communities that work and struggle together to acknowledge, experience, and communicate about the lacks and antagonisms that are at the center of human subjectivity (or the human condition if you prefer that language), which is the main thing I speak with him about in this informal but hopefully informative conversation. We do, of course, go in other directions as well; we even tell a few jokes, which I hope you all find ammusing. One last thing: near the end of the interview. REFERENCED: 1.

    InForm: Nathan Gorelick on psychoanalysis, psychedelics, psychosis, delusions, science, & mysticism

    On this episode of InForm: Podcast, Neil talks with Nathan Gorelick about psychoanalysis, psychedelics, psychosis, delusions, science, & mysticism. The result is a long, hopefully informative conversation. Nathan is Term Assistant Professor of English at Barnard College in New York. He holds a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from the State University of New York at Buffalo, and he has completed the six-year cycle of the Training Seminar in Lacanian Psychoanalysis with Gifric in Quebec City, Canada. He has published widely on the theoretical and historical intersections of psychoanalysis with diverse topics including ecocide and catastrophe fetishism, psychedelic drugs, Continental philosophy, the Haitian Revolution, Islam and Islamophobia, and the theory of the novel. His first book, The Unwritten Enlightenment, sets out a new theory of the relation between literature, ideology, and the unconscious, and is forthcoming early in 2024 from Northwestern University Press.

    InForm: Psychoanalysis in the Classroom with Ryan Engley

    In this episode of Inform: Podcast I interview Why Theory's Ryan Engley about psychoanalysis in the classroom. (Tod McGowan, the other half of Why theory was interviewed about this same topic on an earlier episode of InForm.)  Our conversation ranges all over the place, but one of the consistent themes is the idea of sustaining the analysand's/student's desire/curiosity. Some of our references include:  Lacan's Seminar 17 T.R. Johnson's book The Other Side of Pedagogy The Pedagogy of the Oppressed The TV Show: Peep Show, and (of course) Mad Men

    InForm: Interview with Peter Rollins

    InForm Podcast: 052 The episode you're about to listen to is a conversation with Peter Rollins, a thinker, writer, podcaster, and community organizer who works at the intersections of psychoanalysis, theology, and philosophy. Before getting started I'd like to say the following: Getting to do this was something that was very exciting for me because I've been reading Pete's books, listening to his podcast, and watching his YouTube videos for many years, and his work has had a significant influence on me.  The conversation was long and we talked about lots of different things including,  Pete's own analysisAttempts to hysteriasize liturgical structures  Productively mal-adaptive symptoms (or sinthomes) The importance of lack or absence The impact of Hegel on philosophy, religion, and psychoanalysis Community organizingPsychoanalytic schoolsThe pass And much more

    InForm: Todd McGowan & Psychoanalysis in the Classroom

    Intro:  Psychoanalytic superstar Todd McGowan makes his second appearance on the InForm: Podcast. In this episode (after Neil makes an error), we talk about psychoanalysis in the classroom.  Longer Show Notes:  At the top of the show, you hear Neil realizing he has forgotten to hit record after we have all been talking for 25 min. But after that, you can hear Neil, Jared, and Todd discuss:  How Todd started to get interested in psychoanalysis as a graduate student and the impact of reading Žizek's The Sublime Object of Ideology had on his formation as a psychoanalytic thinker and teacher. Does psychoanalysis need to be marginal in the classroom? Staying with the 99 & letting the one go. What it is like to motivate students, and one's own children... or not motivate them. Trying to teach from the discourse of the analyst. Teaching fro the discourse of the hysteric (or perhaps the obsessional). Grading practices. D&G's Anti-Oedipus as a text that might be more in line with Lacan than people think. Transference to institutions. And other stuff that I can't remember.

    InForm: Why Theory's Todd McGowan

    Intro: Today on InForm:Podcast we are lucky enough to talk with super-theorist Todd McGowan. Content: We reached out to Todd McGowan and asked if he would be willing to talk about how his experience in analysis (as an analysand) influenced the ways that he thinks, works, and lives. Todd responded to our request and was very generous with his time. (He talked with us for over 90 min!) In addition to talking about the effects of analysis on Todd's life we also talk about politics, Dashiell Hammett & Raymond Chandler, and a few other fun things.
