LEPHT HAND – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In this monologue, Sereptie explores the fascinating intersections of alchemy, psychoanalysis, and poststructuralist philosophy. The discussion centers around the concept of alchemical salt, its significance in Renaissance alchemical traditions, and its appropriation in 20th-century psychological theories. This episode connects these ideas with the works of Carl Jung, James Hillman, and Jacques Derrida, offering a unique perspective on the formation and function of subjectivity and how they challenge the polemics of Jordan Peterson.

In this monologue, we explore Maurice Blanchot's "The Unavowable Community," examining his profound exploration of what it means to exist in relation to others. We’ll discuss how Blanchot reimagines community as something defined not by shared goals or ideals but by the impossibility and absence that underpin human connections. Drawing from the concept of désœuvrement ("unworking"), we'll explore Blanchot’s dialogue with other thinkers like Georges Bataille and Jean-Luc Nancy, tracing how their ideas challenge the notion of community as a fixed or positive entity. Along the way, we’ll consider themes of mortality, solitude, and the encounter with the Other, and how these elements force us to rethink the boundaries of belonging and shared experience.

Biopolitics as a System of Thought: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/biopolitics-as-a-system-of-thought-9781350412095/

In this LEPHT HAND interview, we explore the themes of destituent power and political imagination in Serene Richards' Biopolitics as a System of Thought, situating her ideas within the frameworks of thinkers like Jean-Luc Nancy and Pierre Legendre. Richards examines how "Smart Being" operates within a techno-capitalist logic that prioritizes survival over transformative potential, echoing Legendre's critiques of societal structures and Nancy's reflections on "the abyss" and metaphysical ungrounding.

In this interview, I am joined by c_o_L_L_a_g_e, a friend and colleague from our research community at Acid Horizon. Together, we explore the intersection of Deleuze's philosophy and the role of symbols within the hermetic tradition, drawing insights from texts such as The Hermetic Deleuze by Josh Ramey and Deleuze and the Unconscious by Christian Kerslake. Our conversation begins by examining Jung’s critique of Freud’s dominance in psychoanalytic thought through his concept of the libido and culminates in a discussion of how hermeticism intersects with philosophy as a guide for life.
