Why Don't We Regulate Speech? The Case of the Comics
In his illustrated lecture, Pulitzer-prize recipient Louis Menand will
reconsider the "comic book inquisition" of the 1950s. Were comics
sending a message that was damaging to certain groups? What is the
social benefit of First Amendment absolutism? Professor Menand will
touch on Supreme Court obscenity law and the case of Birth of a Nation,
which might be thought of as analogous to the comic books problem. The
question of whether anti-Communist inquiries were a form of censorship
damaging to mental health was a concern of psychiatric organizations in
the 1950s. The four respondents will explore issues of censorship, civil
liberties, civil rights, mental health, the law, gender, race, popular
culture, and where psychoanalysis fits into these crosscurrents.
Audience participation will be encouraged.
Chair: Peter L. Rudnytsky, Ph.D., LCSW (Gainesville, FL) Presenter: Louis Menand, Ph.D. (Cambridge, MA) Discussants: Aisha Abbasi, M.D. (West Bloomfield, MI); Vera J. Camden, Ph.D. (Cleveland Heights, OH);

The New School
Philosophy Colloquium
Critique on the Couch: Why Critical Theory Needs Psychoanalysis
Does critical social theory need psychoanalysis, and if so, what for? In
her book, Critique on the Couch: Why Critical Theory Needs
Psychoanalysis (Columbia University Press, 2021), Amy Allen addresses
this question, offering a new interpretation of psychoanalysis that
mobilizes the insights of Freud, Klein, and Lacan for critical social
theory in the tradition of the Frankfurt School. In this book panel,
Allen will discuss this project with psychoanalysts and critical
theorists Joel Whitebook, Gila Ashtor, and Jill Gentile. The
conversation will address the ongoing relationship between
psychoanalysis, critique, and politics, with a focus on how
psychoanalysis challenges and enriches critical theory's understandings
of subjectivity, progress, emancipation, and social transformation.

Why decolonization and freedom of speech need feminine law
A dialogue with Barnaby Barratt. If psychoanalysis is to fulfill its potential as a decolonizing theory
and praxis, it must subject itself to its own post-colonial critique so
that we might reveal what has remained effectively obscured or
‘naturalized’ within our discourses. Such critique exposes the political
and clinical urgency of appealing to an unwritten, found (in the Real)
feminine law, beyond psychoanalysis’s conventional laws of the father.

Death v. Life: The Strange Temporalities and Radical Democratic Imaginaries of a Pandemic
The novel coronavirus, and the ensuing global racial uprisings have
drawn the world into what may be seen as a social psychoanalysis,
including a fierce contestation between forces for destruction and those
for life and its vitality. We will question our alliance with
death-bound repetition compulsions, even as we also long for release,
for new dis-orderings, emancipation, even ecstasy. Can signage of the
‘weird’ and ‘strange’ inspire us, call us to a confrontation with our
repressed ancestral legacies, while also guiding us towards
transformation and genuine encounters, finally, with a long repudiated
and exiled Otherness?

The Tale: A Conversation About Sexual Abuse, Memory and Desire
Presented by Kenneth Feiner, Jill Gentile, Arthur Fox, and Kamal Choksi.
Join us for an informal conversation about the 2018 Emmy nominated HBO
film, “The Tale,” which tells an autobiographical story of childhood
sexual abuse. It offers a powerful account of memory, desire and agency
that both corroborates and challenges conventional psychoanalytic
thinking, and raises issues relevant to the #MeToo movement and to
themes of gaslighting and sexual predation that have infused our current
political context.

Invited Paper
Hate Speech and Immaterial Violence: Can Talking Cure? Can psychoanalysts speak?
As globalization and metastasizing conflicts drive us into closer and
closer encounters with the Other, a siege mentality spreads. We begin to
wonder if freedom is worth the cost. Those who represent the public
voice—politicians, professional and “citizen” journalists, pundits,
academics—respond to real and imagined violence with conflicted
reappraisals of free speech and its limits, struggling to cope with the
immaterial violence we call “hate speech.” Where on this intellectual
battleground do we find psychoanalysis? How can we, practitioners of the
talking cure, enter the discourse? Does our clinical experience give us
special insight into the nature of freedom, in particular the freedom of
expression implied by the American Constitution? As public discourse
polarizes, perhaps we have the tools to open a space for genuine
encounter, in the face of both ordinary and extraordinary hatred and
violence. What are those tools, and how can we use them?
