Daniel Tutt sits down with the prolific writer and thinker Richard Seymour, Co-Founder of Salvage Magazine and author of The Meaning of David Cameron (2010), Unhitched (2013), Against Austerity (2014) and Corbyn: The Strange Rebirth of Radical Politics (2016).
Since 2016, Seymour has turned to Lacanian theory in his writing and analysis of contemporary politics. We discuss what he finds valuable in psychoanalytic theory, the recent fractures over the trans movement in the Lacanian field, the patriarchy question, Oedipal politics, family abolition, meritocracy and Richard's next book project The Little Red Self-Help Book. We conclude with a discussion on the future of the far right.

The glorious thing about the internet...the most glorious thing....is the fact that a Norn Irish Marxist has turned me onto Lacan,Althusser,Zizek and Poulantzas....forever grateful...thanks Richard!!!

I like Richard Seymour, he is pragmatic. If he was running for Obsene-Father I would vote for him.

I’ve been advocating for the uniquely Japanese “Koban” style of policing. It’s very effective, community based, cheap, and easy to scale to the needs of any town. The data to look at would be the low rates of police shootings or violence in Japanese cities, thought the cops carry loaded guns and don’t have cameras pinned to them. Then you’re just basically stuck with some unjust laws, which are a lot easier to change piece-meal than reinventing policing. The obvious BUT is you’d need a strong social safety net, housing, improved infrastructure, and generally to cut down on social strife for this sort of ‘light touch’ approach to work. And you’d have to be willing to take the ideological step that fixing THOSE problems would resolve issues arising from multiculturalism which exist to a much smaller degree in Japan. So you’re asking western people to imagine an awful lot of preconditions

Exactly, you cant just copy paste the whole cultural-socialisation but simple principles might lead to some aspects of japanese culture.

At 50 minutes in Richard says there’s a preponderance of self-help books for women, but the male-oriented stuff isn’t marketed as such. Last I checked big book stores where I am ‘self-help’ had disappeared from the taxonomy but the generic stuff featured under ‘smart thinking’ (which is how they categorised Richards then latest book too, lol); the more explicitly female-oriented stuff appeared in ‘gender studies’.

really very good, thanks to all involved. Excited at the mention of Richard Seymours new book. 'Magical Voluntarism' a term coined by David Smail i think summarises perfectly the awful and quite poisonous narrative pedalled by self help poo poo

The super mom was thanks to oprah in my opinion. I remember my mom and all the other moms in the neighborhood being SUPER inspired by oprah, and women pursing their own agency

As the old saying goes, you can take Lacan out of the clinic, but you can’t take the clinic out of Lacan!

Daniel at 35:58 "Even in the Negation, you still have an unconscious allegiance of the authority in a way?" (I am new to this) Isn't that the Hysteric position but also other other forms of $ barred subjects? (the 11 other discourses of 16 Lacan rarely talks about) All hysterics wish for instruction that produces the results, produces the work that results in low / no negative symptoms while also producing excess. Thus a master who is all knowing and gentle / right form of corrective and if the master is not working that way they wish for an interlopper like an analyst to produce the hidden solution to solve the problem with low / no negative symptoms while also producing excess? Likewise the other barred subject $ of the capitalism discourse is hoping this magic item will produce happiness and be an alternative lost object? (to my understanding there would be more barred subject $ discourses but Lacan did not wrote / seminar on them.)

Hoping to watch this and discover whether Zizek is insightful and brilliant, or a fraudulent cad.

I may be an idiot apologies, but isn’t a primary issue around trans subjectivity that it betrays the logic of _”love yourself,”_ of not allowing society to make you feel bad about not living up to gender norms? I appreciate how trans subjectivity challenges cultural rigidities here, but there is a bimodal reality of sex which does markedly exist. Is telling my female child they are a girl tantamount to abuse as some say? I don’t think so, because it is a biological truth, as is gender fluidity. My feeling is that it is more powerful medicine to stress the importance of goodness as identity, not M/I/F. Simply put, society may say girls don’t do X or boys don’t do Y, but at bottom we don’t have to internalize that pressure-to turn around and take up the traditional cultural identities defining the opposite sex seems as though it serves to re-empower the same binaries we seek to disentangle. We may be marked biologically M/I/F but we are free to be sensitive or aggressive or whatever regardless of how culture salts it’s sex with gender norms. Does anyone have another take? Am I off base in how I am thinking about this?

People are still talking about Lacan in 2022? That's a yikes for me. Imagine seriously thinking that if people knew the theory of some obscurantist misogynist they'd become liberated
