Them Two Sexes
Folks have been asking about our new series on Seminar XX, notably the series description I posted last month. “Are you really going to build it atop Lacan’s notion of stupidity?” 🫠
Yes, I think so — but not as you might expect!
And not until we have a better sense of “them two sexes,” as Lacan calls them at the start of Seminar XX — which is really where our series begins.
Hence, the newish diagram I shared with y’all earlier this week — as well as the feverish opening lecture in which it took shape. 😅
Below are a few excerpts, just to give you a better sense of how we’re setting things up — but also in anticipation of more odd talk of this sort next week, in our first live discussion of the series. 🤘🏽
