How can Bill Clinton's “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” shed light on Lacan's maxim, “The unconscious is structured like a language?” In Six Moments in Lacan: Communication and Identification in Psychology and Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2018), professor Derek Hook thoroughly investigates and explains a number of Lacan's major concepts from his structuralist period, making them accessible to a wide-ranging audience with reference to entertaining examples from popular culture. Hook argues that, while the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis share certain questions and premises, we must, as Lacan insisted, remain alert to the radical disjunction between the objectifying aims of psychology and psychoanalysis's unique attention to the subject, conceived as an event in language. In this interview, we hear Derek explain several of his book's key arguments, explore the clinical dimensions of Lacanian theory, and, alongside Derek's illuminating commentary, listen to Richard Nixon confess his responsibility for Watergate. Jordan Osserman grew up in South Florida and currently calls London home. He received his PhD in gender studies and psychoanalysis from University College London, his MA in psychosocial studies from Birkbeck College, and his BA in womens and gender studies from Dartmouth College.

This episode's interview is with Derek Hook, who studies and practices psychoanalysis and is Professor of Psychology at Duquesne University. He is the author of Six Moments in Lacan, among many other works and important edited volumes on Lacan's Écrits and Lacan and Race, among others. To respond to the prompt for this series of Penumbr(a)cast, on a life-changing or at least impactful artwork, following Freud's powerful experience with Michelangelo's Moses sculpture, Dr. Hook points to an image from photojournalism in 1994, where three members of a neo-Nazi group in South Africa are arrested and killed at the end of apartheid during the Bophuthatswana crisis. Hook's experience with this image prompts a fascinating discussion on his trajectory discovering psychoanalysis, white privilege, racism, and embodiment, and to his recent work of reading Lacan in conversation with Afropessimism.Many thanks as always to Kellen Corrallo for his work on sound editing.

Rendering Unconscious welcomes Drs Sheldon George, Derek Hook, Sheila Cavanagh and Michelle Stephens to the podcast to discuss the groundbreaking new book Lacan and Race: Racism, Identity, and Psychoanalytic Theory! This edited volume draws upon Lacanian psychoanalytic theory to examine the conscious and unconscious forces underlying race as a social formation, conceptualizing race, racial identity, and racism in ways that go beyond traditional modes of psychoanalytic thought. Featuring contributions by Lacanian scholars from diverse geographical and disciplinary contexts, chapters span a wide breadth of topics, including white nationalism and contemporary debates over confederate monuments; emergent theories of race rooted in Afropessimism and postcolonialism; analyses of racism in apartheid and American slavery; clinical reflections on Latinx and other racialized patients; and applications of Lacan's concepts of the lamella, drive and sexuation to processes of racialization. The collection both reorients readers' understandings of race through its deployment of Lacanian theory and redefines the Lacanian subject through its theorizing of subjectivity in relation to race, racism and racial identification. Lacan and Race will be a definitive text for psychoanalytic theorists and contemporary scholars of race, appealing to readers across the fields of psychology, cultural studies, humanities, politics, and sociology.

Lacan published his Écrits in 1966, a compilation of his written work up to that middle period in his teaching. Notoriously difficult to read, the editors of the book we’re discussing today describe the Écrits as “an unwieldy, conglomerate ‘urtext’ … not a book at all … but ‘the waste’ of his teaching: elements he didn’t discuss in public … and sensitive points to which his audience would have reacted with reluctance.” It wasn’t until 2007 that, thanks to work of translator Bruce Fink, the complete edition of the Écrits were finally published in English. Now, Stijn Vanheule, Derek Hook and Calum Neill have brought us the three volume work, Reading Lacan’s Écrits (Routledge, 2018), which features world renowned Lacanian scholars and clinicians explicating in detailed paragraph-by-paragraph commentary each of the essays in the Écrits. Thanks to this publication, coming to grips with the Écrits in all its complexity has suddenly become possible. Lacan’s cryptic pronouncements are miraculously, lucidly reformulated, revealing them in their original and enlightening contributions to the practice and theory of psychoanalysis. What was involved in putting together this monumental and challenging work of exegesis? What does it say about the Lacanian tradition today — in all its differing styles, emphases and factions? Join us in conversation with Derek, Calum and Stijn as we explore this and more. Jordan Osserman grew up in South Florida and currently calls London home. He received his PhD in gender studies and psychoanalysis from University College London, his MA in psychosocial studies from Birkbeck College, and his BA in womens and gender studies from Dartmouth College.

How can Bill Clinton's “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” shed light on Lacan's maxim, “The unconscious is structured like a language?” In Six Moments in Lacan: Communication and Identification in Psychology and Psychoanalysis (Routledge, 2018), professor Derek Hook thoroughly investigates and explains a number of Lacan's major concepts from his structuralist period, making them accessible to a wide-ranging audience with reference to entertaining examples from popular culture. Hook argues that, while the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis share certain questions and premises, we must, as Lacan insisted, remain alert to the radical disjunction between the objectifying aims of psychology and psychoanalysis's unique attention to the subject, conceived as an event in language. In this interview, we hear Derek explain several of his book's key arguments, explore the clinical dimensions of Lacanian theory, and, alongside Derek's illuminating commentary, listen to Richard Nixon confess his responsibility for Watergate.

Steve Biko – leader of the Black Consciousness Movement – was one of the key figures in the liberation struggle in South Africa. The radical student leader, who arguably rivalled the importance of Nelson Mandela during the 1960s and 1970s, is the subject of a new biography by Dr Derek Hook, of Birkbeck’s Department of Psychosocial Studies. In this podcast, Dr Hook explains the significance of Biko’s anti-apartheid campaign and his death in police custody. He also discusses his own dilemma about writing the book from his perspective as a white South African. He explains how the process of writing the book became an intellectual and historical project, rather than a political attempt to represent the views of Biko.
