Leaning into the pain of trauma re-enactment with Sabrina Spielrein is seriously long overdue ~ the Derry Girls, Paddy Clark Ha Ha Ha; crucially and importantly the theoretical splitting of the subject from the Janet>Spielrein lineage is ignored and recursively echoed in later stages of the hermeneutic development in the thought-form of psychoanalysis the geneology Lacan>Zizek creates; What a breath of fresh air Julie Reshe, IS … try, for a next project, the 'Of-ness of/in Having-Being' to address the questions raised by Babette Babich on the 'between' in Having and Being …
I reckon Julie Reshe is actually an honorary Derry Girl or so Orla, Claire, Erin, Michelle, and James are hinting ~ the positivity rests within Keirkegaardian notions of either/or as asking Or What? the behavioural activation derive more from the hermeneutic of Hereclitus, Thales and Anixamander as it does the source scripts between the annihilatists and eel wrigglers in early Buddhism; it is the silence in bhramanic thought-forms and the seed planted while I was sleeping ~ this interview blows the rest out of the water of Thales; Julie Reshe is on fire 🔥
Adorno's, Baby and Bathwater when read with Blackmail through Keirkegaardian Either/Or >Or What! is located in the economic institutions within which Ferenzci worked ~ behavioural activation actually works – the background noise as suggest by Wittgenstein is seated and deeply so within the protestant ethic and the reduction of distress to a S-R brain event … behavioural activation is also about knowing when the placing of subject distress to an elsewhereness ie the body keeps the score and "all we need is the air that we breathe' of the impermanence of all sense perception ie it's temporality and not-self; the particular and the universal of what? The rosicrusions marriage of Athens/Jerusalem/Mecca is held together how? The moral construct of the universal work ethic ~ the inevitability of the bourgeois-proletariat-proletariat in Baby and Bathwater; it's all a bit Jo-Jo Rabbit and Kite Runner if not the Life of Pi also captured ages ago in Paint Your Wagon – the separation of beingin and beingfor in Satre is the separation of this/that, is the separation of means and ends the separation of the predictive power of theory reified from the subject of it's inquiry ~ the separation of life from death is the thought errancy ~ the organisation of economic and institutionally governed activity within psychiatry and psychology has given way to the hegemony of analytic philosophical through treatment of incommensurability as extreme commensurability ~ the transitions from State towards Emanations of State if not about failure re-enactment and thought errancy ~ the neither/nor Or What? The epistemological micro-macro axioms of an X,Y require mesoscopic evaluation methodology, no? Contact Bojan Radej for more detailed information.
Yet no mention of Julia Kristeva?
Rahul, congratulations. I see you're fighting super hard to give compliments. 😂
There's a difference between the apprehension of and comprehension of being between Spielrein and Freud based on the previous insights of Janet and latterly picked-up by Ferenzci; there's a silence in the ontology of what Satre called Being-in ~ or sentience, well maybe … the Forthcoming Occultism in the Origins of Psychoanalysis by Maria Peirri writes about such.
Yes Julies book is like fresh air from a crypt paradoxically, it reminded me of Peter Rollins phrase “a desert in the oasis of life.” It is satisfying to read a clinical critique of positive psychology in our enjoyment soaked era.
It seems Julie is trying to destigmatize melancholia and depression, as they are completely valid positions in life. I spoke to Duane Rouselle a month or so ago and he has beef with Julie’s position.. saying that “she still thinks death will save us.”
It would be quite an event to have them talk. Especially since he released a book with Routledge just after Julie’s Neg. Psych book called “Negativity in Psychoanalysis: Theory and Clinic” which was endorsed by Zizek. It is also quite great so far as well and features an anthology of authors.
Thanks for this video my friend
19:32 What did Lacan think of Buddhism? And *in which book of his did he talk about it?
Very interesting guest, I haven’t finished the listening to the episode but it is interesting to bring philosophical pessimism in relation to death drive… I read Beiser’s book on German pessimism and it really kept me hooked. The way you say in the beginning about the guest’s book being comforting is the same feeling I had after reading the German pessimists.
