RU112: RENDERING DR CLINT BURNHAM UNCONSCIOUS, PROFESSOR ON TECHNOLOGY, LACAN SALON

Clint Burnham is Professor of English at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada, where he also teaches theory and popular culture. https://sfu.academia.edu/ClintBurnham Follow him at Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sinthomista/ He is one of the facilitators of the Lacan Salon. https://www.lacansalon.com Follow Lacan Salon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lacansalon/ and Twitter: https://twitter.com/LacanSalon His books include The Jamesonian Unconscious: The Aesthetics of Marxist Theory (1995), The Only Poetry that Matters: Reading the Kootenay School of Writing (2011), and the collections Digital Natives (2011, co-ed. with Lorna Brown) and From Text to Txting: New Media in the Classroom (2012, co-ed. with Paul Budra). His most recent book Does the Internet have an Unconscious? (2018) is both an introduction to the work of Slavoj Žižek and an investigation into how his work can be used to think about the digital present. Clint Burnham uniquely combines the German idealism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and Marxist materialism found in Žižek's thought to understand how the Internet, social and new media, and digital cultural forms work in our lives and how their failure to work structures our pathologies and fantasies. He suggests that our failure to properly understand the digital is due to our lack of recognition of its political, aesthetic, and psycho-sexual elements. Mixing autobiographical passages with critical analysis, Burnham situates a Žižekian theory of digital culture in the lived human body. https://www.bloomsbury.com/author/clint-burnham/ This episode is also available to view at YouTube: https://youtu.be/-ss-xPDOVOc Rendering Unconscious Podcast is hosted by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair, who interviews psychoanalysts, psychologists, scholars, creative arts therapists, writers, poets, philosophers, artists & other intellectuals about their process, world events, the current state of mental health care, politics, culture, the arts & more. http://www.renderingunconscious.org/about/ You can support Rendering Unconscious Podcast at our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/vanessa23carl Vanessa Sinclair, Psy.D. is a psychoanalyst based Stockholm, who sees clients internationally, specializing in offering quality psychoanalytic treatment remotely and online.
