See you Sunday! Posted @withregram • @carl.abrahamsson A new #psychartcult event c/o #morbidanatomy coming up this Sunday! https://www.morbidanatomy.org/events-tickets/the-death-drive-on-film-by-mary-wild-and-the-revolution-will-go-viral-on-sexting-the-digital-contagion-by-dr-clint-burnham Sunday, May 22, join us for “The Death Drive on Film” by Mary Wild and “The Revolution will go Viral… on Sexting, the Digital & Contagion” by Dr Clint Burnham. The Death Drive on Film, by Mary Wild In “Beyond the Pleasure Principle” (1920), Sigmund Freud defined the death drive as being in opposition to Eros (i.e., the affirmation of life through survival, propagation, productivity, and romance). This talk will focus the death drive on film, represented as self-sabotage, the unconscious wish to return to an inorganic state, and the urge to repeat painful past events. The proposition is that there is a cultural merit in coming to terms with the death drive, as it helps us to identify, comprehend and integrate harmful impulses in a functional way. “The Revolution will go Viral… on Sexting, the Digital & Contagion,” by Dr. Clint Burnham We need psychoanalysis to understand our conflicted anxieties brought to the fore by Covid, we needed Covid-19 to come along to help us comprehend the dyad of connectivity and isolation at work in the internet, and we continue to need the internet to understand such psychoanalytic ideas as the unconscious and “desire is the desire of the Other.” Drawing on the work of Freud, Lacan, Žižek, and Byung-Chul Han, and discussing sexting, anti-vaxxers, and “the subject supposed to LOL,” this talk will argue that our desires on the internet, our anxieties about vaccines and masks, and the way things go viral, can only be understood with the help of psychoanalysis, and, that these cultural phenomena can in turn help advance the theory and practice, the very relevance, of psychoanalysis today. #carlabrahamsson #vanessasinclair #marywild #clintburnham #psychoanalysis #renderingunconscious https://www.instagram.com/p/CdocSxqLBl2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
