RU74: Rendering Dr Daniel Jose Gaztambide Unconscious, on Psychoanalysis and Liberation Psychology
Today's episode of Rendering Unconscious Podcast welcomes Daniel José Gaztambide, visiting assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the New School for Social Research and practicing psychologist. His new book A People’s History of Psychoanalysis: From Freud to Liberation Psychology reviews the oft-forgotten history of social justice in psychoanalysis. Starting with the work of Sigmund Freud and the first generation of left-leaning psychoanalysts, Gaztambide traces a series of interrelated psychoanalytic ideas and social justice movements that culminated in the work of Frantz Fanon, Paulo Freire, and Ignacio Martín-Baró. Through this intellectual genealogy, Dr. Gaztambide presents a psychoanalytically informed theory of race, class, and internalized oppression that resulted from the intertwined efforts of psychoanalysts and racial justice advocates over the course of generations and gave rise to liberation psychology.

Radio Mega Golem – Episode 2
Welcome to Radio Mega Golem: a transmission for and from the Mega Golem – the artwork created by Carl Abrahamsson in 2009, and which has since been partially added to by a number of other artists.
EPISODE 2: ”History Is A Composite Genome”
This particular episode is full of history. How and why did I give birth to the Mega Golem? What happened? Who contributed to its psycho-biological construction, and where are we at today? If history is nothing but a composite genome, how will our conscious interactions in the study of the Mega Golem play out? Are we in fact creating a self-sustaining feedback loop in which the Mega Golem is now already constructing us?

RU69: Rendering Dr Ian Parker Unconscious - Psychoanalysis as a Liberating Ethic
On today's episode of Rendering Unconscious Podcast I speak with Ian Parker, a practising psychoanalyst who trained with the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research (CFAR) in London, and became an Analyst of the Centre in 2003. He is registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). He is also a member of the London Society of the New Lacanian School and of the College of Psychoanalysts – UK.
Lacanian psychoanalysis is a ‘talking cure’ that developed in the tradition of Freud’s invention of the unconscious. Lacan’s work is resistant to attempts to normalise certain kinds of experience or pathologise others. It does not aim to adapt people to society but to allow truth to be spoken.
Ian works as a psychoanalyst in south Manchester. He can be contacted to discuss beginning psychoanalysis via: https://parkerian.com
His most recent book is:
Parker, I. (2019) Psychoanalysis, Clinic and Context: Subjectivity, History and Autobiography. London and New York: Routledge: https://www.routledge.com/Psychoanalysis-Clinic-and-Context-Subjectivity-History-and-Autobiography/Parker/p/book/9780367144333
