In this episode of the Psyche Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Peter Hudis for a rich and energizing conversation on the life, thought, and legacy of Frantz Fanon. As I mention at the start of our discussion, Peter's book Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Barricades has been one of the most accessible and illuminating introductions to Fanon I've ever encountered. If you've wanted to understand Fanon beyond the buzzwords—this is the place to begin.Together, we explore the philosophical influences that shaped Fanon's thinking, from the Negritude movement and Sartre to Merleau-Ponty, Hegel, and beyond. Peter shares fascinating stories about Fanon's early exposure to philosophy in Martinique, his evolution as a revolutionary thinker, and the ways he transformed the ideas he inherited rather than simply repeating them. We also discuss Fanon's commitment to a new humanism—one rooted in mutual recognition, dignity, liberation, and social transformation.Whether you're new to Fanon or have been journeying with his ideas for years, this episode offers both depth and accessibility. I left the conversation energized, challenged, and more convinced than ever that Fanon's work remains essential for thinking about race, liberation, and humanity today.Tune in, reflect with us, and see what new connections emerge for you as we revisit Fanon's enduring legacy through the eyes of a leading scholar.
“Echo Delay Reverb”Art américain, pensées francophonesau Palais de Tokyo, Parisdu 22 octobre 2025 au 15 février 2026Entretien avecAmandine Nana,curatrice au Palais de Tokyo, et co-commissaire de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, 21 octobre 2025, durée 16'11,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2025/10/24/3659_echo-delay-reverb_palais-de-tokyo/Communiqué de presse Commissariat :Directrice artistique : Naomi BeckwithÉquipe curatoriale : James Horton, Amandine Nana et François Piron, assisté·es de Vincent NeveuxCette saison est une « carte blanche » proposée à la commissaire états-unienne Naomi Beckwith, celle d'imaginer librement un projet pour le Palais de Tokyo qui soit spécifique à cette institution et se déploie dans tous ses espaces. Une paradoxale programmation « internationale en circuit court », c'est-à-dire en fertile interaction avec la réalité locale. Sa réponse spontanée de travailler sur la réception de la pensée française et francophone dans l'art américain de ces dernières décennies m'a immédiatement enthousiasmé. Elle est à la fois passionnante historiquement et extrêmement contemporaine, en lien avec l'actualité de l'art et au-delà.Tout au long du 20e siècle, en France, des philosophes, des poètes, des activistes ont transgressé les disciplines et les genres littéraires et modifié les perspectives sur le monde. Parfois avant même leur reconnaissance en France, leurs idées ont été traduites aux États-Unis et ont servi à fabriquer des outils pour une vision critique de l'art comme de la société. En contestant des normes sociales, esthétiques et linguistiques, ils et elles ont ouvert de nouvelles manières de voir et d'agir. Si la notion de « French Theory » a été établie dans les années 1990 pour évoquer la réception enthousiaste que les États-Unis ont réservé à des auteurs comme Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze ou Jacques Derrida, d'autres figures, telles que Suzanne et Aimé Césaire, Frantz Fanon, Édouard Glissant ou encore Monique Wittig, ont été déterminantes pour le champ de l'art comme pour les études culturelles, postcoloniales, féministes et de genre.C'est l'histoire de cette circulation des idées, de leur résonance et appropriation par plusieurs générations d'artistes outre-Atlantique que déploie cette exposition foisonnante et généreuse, associant une soixantaine d'artistes majeur·es ou émergent·es, dont le sculpteur Melvin Edwards, à qui est consacrée une riche rétrospective. Dans ce projet conçu par Naomi Beckwith avec l'équipe du Palais de Tokyo, il est beaucoup question de relations. Relations entre art et pensée, entre les États-Unis et la France, entre une personnalité étrangère et une institution française. Relation aussi au sens aussi de relater, partager de nouveaux récits dont nous avons besoin. Plus que le résultat d'une recherche, c'est une aventure artistique, intellectuelle mais aussi curatoriale qui prend le parti d'écrire l'histoire plus que de la décrire.Guillaume Désanges, Président du Palais de Tokyo[...] Hébergé par Acast.

In this solo episode, I dive into the electrifying intersection between Zeal & Ardor's genre-bending music and Frantz Fanon's revolutionary psychology of liberation.I trace the origins of Zeal & Ardor — from Manuel Gagneux's provocative “what-if” experiment blending slave spirituals and black metal — to their evolution into a powerful exploration of history, rage, and rebirth. Through Fanon's lens, this fusion becomes more than music: it's a sonic revolt, a reimagining of how trauma, faith, and resistance can transform into new cultural life.Along the way, I unpack Fanon's ideas about the “white mask,” violence as catharsis, and the creation of a new humanism, showing how Zeal & Ardor's sound captures the psychic energy of decolonization.This episode is part cultural analysis, part therapy session, and part love letter to the power of art to rework our deepest wounds.
In this episode of Psyche Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Sinan Richards to explore his brilliant article “The Logician of Madness: Fanon's Lacan.” Our conversation dives into the deep intellectual currents connecting Frantz Fanon and Jacques Lacan—two thinkers often treated as distant but who, as Sinan argues, share a surprisingly intimate lineage.We trace Fanon's early psychiatric influences at Saint-Alban under François Tosquelles, the Catalan psychiatrist whose fusion of psychoanalysis, surrealism, and social activism helped form the basis for institutional psychotherapy. From there, we follow how Tosquelles' reading of Lacan's fertile moments of delirium and psychogenesis evolved into Fanon's own radical idea of sociogenesis—the notion that the colonial order itself produces mental illness.Sinan also illuminates the feedback loop between these two towering figures: how Lacan's early emphasis on the social helped shape Fanon's thought, and how Fanon, in turn, may have anticipated the late Lacanian critique of the symbolic order as a kind of psychic prison. Together, we discuss language, desire, and disalienation—how the colonized subject's struggle to speak and dream in a colonizer's tongue exposes both the political and psychic dimensions of liberation.Along the way, Sinan shares vivid stories—like Tosquelles and his patients hand-binding copies of Lacan's thesis and selling them in the village market—and we reflect on Fanon's enduring insight that things cannot go on as they are.This conversation is for anyone drawn to psychoanalysis, decolonial thought, and the places where philosophy meets political action.

Frantz Fanon, who was born in Martinique, died aged 36. He nevertheless made very significant contributions to the discussion of racism and colonialism, influenced strongly by the existentialist tradition. In this episode of the Philosphy Bites podcast David Edmonds discusses Fanon, his ideas, his cultural background, and his impact, with Lewis Gordon, author of What Fanon Said.

In this solo episode, I take a deep dive into the life of Frantz Fanon, tracing his journey from his early years in Martinique to his groundbreaking work as a psychiatrist and revolutionary thinker.I explore how Fanon's experiences growing up under French colonial rule shaped his understanding of identity and freedom, his formative time studying medicine and psychiatry in France, and his clinical work at Saint-Alban and Blida-Joinville, where his ideas about decolonization and mental health began to take root.This episode serves as an introduction to the series of upcoming conversations I'll be having with scholars and clinicians about Fanon's work and legacy. My goal is to offer listeners—especially those who may not be familiar with Fanon—a sense of the man behind the ideas, the experiences that shaped him, and why his thought still matters so deeply today.
In this episode of The Psyche Podcast, I sit down with psychoanalyst, scholar, and author Derek Hook to explore the intersections between Frantz Fanon, Jacques Lacan, and the work of decolonial psychoanalysis. Drawing from Derek's new book, Fanon, Psychoanalysis, and Critical Decolonial Psychology: The Mind of Apartheid, we discuss how Fanon both used and transformed psychoanalysis to address the psychic realities of racism, colonization, and liberation.Derek shares how growing up under apartheid shaped his lifelong interest in the psychological mechanisms of racism and domination. We talk about Fanon's early encounter with Lacanian ideas through François Tosquelles, his critical response to Octave Mannoni, and how Black Skin, White Masks continues to challenge the limits of both psychoanalysis and politics.Together, we unpack Fanon's reworking of Jung's “collective unconscious” into what Derek calls a European collective unconscious—a psychic structure shaped by racial fantasy, colonial desire, and historical trauma. We also reflect on the place of the “third” or the big Other in the analytic encounter, and how Fanon's vision of a decolonial psychology continues to unsettle, inspire, and demand reflection.This was a deeply engaging conversation that bridges theory and experience—an exploration of how Fanon's work helps us think about freedom not only as a social project but as a psychic and existential one.
T10. Episodio 9Este 2025 se cumplen 100 años del nacimiento de Frantz Fanon, pensador, psiquiatra y revolucionario anticolonial. Autor de obras fundamentales como Piel negra, máscaras blancas y Los condenados de la tierra, Fanon analizó con lucidez la violencia del colonialismo y la construcción de la identidad en contextos de opresión. Su voz continúa siendo una guía crítica para comprender las heridas del racismo, los procesos de descolonización y los desafíos del mundo contemporáneo.
n a novel pairing of anti-colonial theorist Frantz Fanon with Marxist-Lacanian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, Zahi Zalloua explores the ways both thinkers expose the violence of political structures.This inventive exploration advances an anti-racist critique, describing how ontology operates in a racial matrix to produce some human bodies that count and others (deemed not-quite- or non-human) that do not. For Fanon and Žižek, the violence of ontology must be met with another form of violence, a revolutionary violence that delegitimizes the logic of the symbolic order and troubles its collective fantasies. Whereas Fanon begins his challenge to ontology by exposing its historical linkages to Europe's destructive imperialist procedures before proceeding to “stretch” Marxism, along with psychoanalysis, to account for the crushing (neo)colonial situation, Žižek premises his work on the refusal to accept the totality of ontology. Because of these different points of intervention, Fanon and Žižek together offer a powerful and multifaceted assessment of the liberal anti-racist paradigm whose propensity for identity politics and aversion to class struggle silence the cry of the dispossessed and foreclose radical change. Avoiding contemporary separatist temptations (decoloniality and Afropessimism), and breaking with a non-violent, sentimentalist futurology that announces more of the same, Fanon and Žižek point in a different direction, one that eschews identitarian thought in favor of a collective struggle for freedom and equality. Zahi Zalloua is Cushing Eells Professor of Philosophy and Literature and a Professor of Indigeneity, Race, and Ethnicity Studies at Whitman College Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

In this episode, Jewish Currents editor-at-large Peter Beinart interviews the philosopher, activist, author, and educator Angela Davis, whose writing and organizing have shaped Black liberation, feminist, queer, and prison abolitionist movements for more than 50 years. In a wide-ranging conversation, the two discuss how Jews shaped Davis's formative years, analyze the Jewish role in the civil rights movement, compare the campus activism of the 1960s to today's college protests, and explore why Palestine is central to the global left.This conversation first appeared in The Beinart Notebook on Substack.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Media Mentioned and Further ReadingFreedom Is a Constant Struggle: Ferguson, Palestine, and the Foundations of a Movement, Angela DavisAngela Davis: An Autobiography, Angela Davis“How the 1960s Civil Rights and Black Power Movements Split on Israel,” Michael R.

No segundo episódio do Análise Comuna, fazendo uma análise da série Gears of War. O episódio começa contextualizando o lançamento do primeiro jogo da série em 2006, sua relevância como um marco para jogos de tiro em terceira pessoa e sua narrativa cinematográfica. O objetivo é analisar a trilogia original não apenas como entretenimento, mas também como uma metáfora dos processos de colonização, considerando as leituras críticas de Frantz Fanon, que em Os Condenados da Terra descreve a violência como elemento estruturante da colonização, e de Aimé Césaire, que em Discurso sobre o Colonialismo vê a prática colonial como uma desumanização mútua entre colonizador e colonizado. A narrativa de guerra contra os Locust será interpretada à luz dessas ideias, explorando suas implicações sociais e políticas.

Send us a textMeet Mario Colucci, a psychiatrist who has worked in a variety of roles in the Trieste system for over 30 years. He is currently the director of the Psychiatric Diagnosis and Treatment Service , which is linked to the general emergency room of the civil hospital in Udine, in the same region of Trieste. I consider him “the psychiatrist's philosopher” because of his keen intellect and how he effortlessly weaves philosophy into telling the story of Basaglia. In this interview, we explore four themes:Philosophy – and how it impacted the thinking of Franco Basaglia in the 1960'sEducation of psychiatrists – then and nowPower dynamics between clinician and patient – and power-sharingThe “total institution” To provide some additional resource material to follow along in the conversation, the following links may be helpful.General discussion of phenomenology.Four influential books that coincidentally were published in 1961, the same year that Franco Basaglia was assigned to the asylum in Gorizia:Madness and Civilization: A History of Insanity in the Age of Reason.

Jean-Claude Flamand-Barny présente son dernier long-métrage, « Fanon », en première australienne à l'occasion du festival du film africain de Sydney (African Film Fest Australia 2025). Fort d'une réception critique positive et de plusieurs récompenses, ce film explore la pensée de Frantz Fanon, figure incontournable de l'anticolonialisme.
Fait social total, le tourisme n'échappe pas, dans son passé comme son présent, aux stigmates coloniaux. Parce qu'un autre voyage est possible, il faut le décoloniser… Depuis de nombreuses années, les études postcoloniales ont démontré à quel point analyser, étudier le fait colonial permettait de comprendre le temps présent et son propre désordre ; avec au centre, la survivance de ce legs hérité de la colonisation dans les imaginaires, les savoirs ou les pratiques… Aujourd'hui, on parle ainsi de décoloniser les arts, les musées, l'architecture, l'école, les esprits ou l'histoire... Et le voyage, forcément, en tant que fabrique de l'Autre et de l'ailleurs, n'échappe pas à cette analyse décoloniale, complexe mais fertile. Des «découvreurs» aux explorateurs en casque colonial assoiffés de conquêtes, des aventuriers en terre inconnue aux touristes avides d'exotisme et d'entre-soi, la galerie de portraits fleure bon, parfois… souvent, ce temps des colonies où l'Europe se vivait en maître naturel de la planète. Tourisme et colonisation ont d'ailleurs fait bon ménage par le passé. Ainsi, dès la constitution des empires coloniaux, français ou autres, une mise en tourisme des colonies se met en place, comme une manière d'occuper -on disait « pacifier »- le territoire ; mais aussi de s'approprier les paysages et les cultures, de préférence sans les populations locales. Dans les expositions coloniales, on exhibait ces populations à grand renfort de clichés racistes, tout en les reléguant au rang de subalternes ou d'obligés, forcément exotiques. À noter que certains disent encore «j'ai fait la Thaïlande» pour parler de leurs voyages, comme jadis on disait dans le jargon militaire colonial «j'ai fait l'Indochine». Décoloniser le voyage, c'est savoir se décentrer pour un Occidental et se départir des stéréotypes sur la culture de l'Autre qui essentialisent et se perpétuent. C'est aussi dire et partager l'histoire coloniale dans l'espace public, interroger ses continuités et faire émerger d'autres récits. C'est enfin décoloniser les musées, notamment à travers la restitution des objets et biens culturels pillés pendant la colonisation.

Both new and seasoned psychotherapists wrestle with the relationship between psychological distress and inequality across race, class, gender, and sexuality. How does one address this organically in psychotherapy? What role does it play in therapeutic action? Who brings it up, the therapist or the patient? Daniel José Gaztambide addresses these questions by offering a rigorous decolonial approach that rethinks theory and technique from the ground up, providing an accessible, evidence-informed reintroduction to psychoanalytic practice. He re-examines foundational thinkers from three traditions--Freudian, relational-interpersonal, and Lacanian--through the lens of revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, and offers a detailed analysis of Fanon's psychoanalytic practice. Drawing on rich yet grounded discussions of theory and research, Gaztambide presents a clinical model that facilitates exploration of the social in the clinical space in a manner intimately related to the patient's presenting problem. In doing so, this book demonstrates that clinicians no longer have to choose between attending to the personal, interpersonal, or sociopolitical. It is a guide to therapeutic action "on the couch," which envisions political action "off the couch" and in the streets. Decolonizing Psychoanalytic Technique provides a comprehensive, practice-oriented and compelling guide for students, practitioners, and scholars of critical, multicultural and decolonial approaches to psychotherapy.

He re-examines foundational thinkers from three traditions--Freudian, relational-interpersonal, and Lacanian--through the lens of revolutionary psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, and offers a detailed analysis of Fanon's psychoanalytic practice. Drawing on rich yet grounded discussions of theory and research, Gaztambide presents a clinical model that facilitates exploration of the social in the clinical space in a manner intimately related to the patient's presenting problem. In doing so, this book demonstrates that clinicians no longer have to choose between attending to the personal, interpersonal, or sociopolitical. It is a guide to therapeutic action "on the couch," which envisions political action "off the couch" and in the streets. Decolonizing Psychoanalytic Technique provides a comprehensive, practice-oriented and compelling guide for students, practitioners, and scholars of critical, multicultural and decolonial approaches to psychotherapy.

We return to our very slow trip through the films of Sergio Leone with 1971's DUCK, YOU SUCKER!, also known as A FISTFUL OF DYNAMITE, also known as GIÙ LA TESTA, a story of the Mexican Revolution starring Rod Steiger and James Coburn. It's a real humdinger of an episode, as Jake's allergies flare up while he tells a long story about some unpleasant men at the barbershop, Ian explains the Mexican Revolution, and we both read passages from Frantz Fanon.

Abby and Patrick welcome philosopher Olúfẹ́mi Táíwò on the occasion of the new edition of his book Reconsidering Reparations: Why Climate Justice and Constructive Politics Are Needed in the Wake of Slavery and Colonialism. Reconsidering Reparations is a magisterial work that ties together global history, data from economics and public health, philosophy, and more, and dramatically cuts through many of our moment's thorniest debates over identity, responsibility, and political change. Together, Abby, Patrick, and Olúfẹ́mi contextualize and walk through the book's core arguments and their implications for audiences both psychoanalytic and otherwise. Beginning with how a truly transatlantic history of the African slave trade and an awareness of how European colonialism as a properly global enterprise can together shed new light on both domestic inequalities within the United States and relations between the contemporary Global North and South, the three unpack how the accumulation of material advantages and disadvantages have, over time, resulted in landscapes of suffering that are simultaneously far-flung yet fundamentally interconnected. Historicizing and grounding the present in terms of what Táíwò terms “Global Racial Empire” renders uncanny the givenness of contemporary national borders, and throws into question many of our most foundational national narratives and even the givenness of the state form itself. Moreover, thinking seriously about history and oppression reveals what canonical philosophical accounts of the liberal social contract disavow, and what fantasies and concrete purposes so many contemporary invocations of meritocracy and justice as “fairness” serve. The conversation builds to Olúfẹ́mi's “constructive view” of reparations, the centrality of climate justice to that program, and a series of crucial disambiguations and reconfigurations of prevailing notions of responsibility, accountability, guilt, liability, and more. Indeed, as the three describe, thinking about ourselves in terms of our ancestors, while understanding ourselves as ancestors, offers everyone a path forward, one that moves beyond the dead-ends of reflexive denialism and narcissistic injury to suggest new possibilities for identification, disidentification, and solidarity, and that powerfully clarifies goals, sustains motivation, and helps us imagine possibilities for change across social differences, geographical distances, and the span of time. Plus: “theory versus practice” versus “theory and practice”; the example and legacy of Frantz Fanon; the joys, perplexities, and embarrassments of being a philosophy nerd; and more. Olúfẹ́mi O.

durée : 00:57:08 - Autant en emporte l'Histoire - par : Stéphanie Duncan - 1953. Frantz Fanon, jeune médecin d'origine martiniquaise, arrive en Algérie pour prendre son poste à l'hôpital psychiatrique de Blida-Joinville. Il découvre alors la réalité coloniale, en particulier la psychiatrie telle qu'elle y est pratiquée fondée sur le prétendu primitivisme des indigènes. - invités : Alice CHERKI - Alice Cherki : Psychiatre, psychanalyste et auteure - réalisé par : Anne WEINFELD
In our latest episode we speak with the author and academic Frank Gerits, whose most recent work explores the history of the intense ideological battle which took place in the 1950s and 1960s for African hearts and minds. His book, The Ideological Scramble for Africa, explores how this competition wasn't just between Cold War superpowers, but among African leaders themselves who were projecting competing visions of what African modernity should look like. In this conversation with Robert Amsterdam, Dr. Gerits gives an informed portrait of key figures such as Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah, whose revolutionary call for immediate continental unity challenged both colonial powers and fellow African leaders. While leaders like Senegal's Senghor favored maintaining ties with Europe and others promoted regional federations, Nkrumah demanded complete independence and a "Monroe Doctrine for Africa" that would keep the continent out of global power struggles entirely. Gerits discussess his views on the fascinating psychological dimension of decolonization, showing how Western powers promoted "modernization" programs designed to psychologically transform Africans, while leaders like Nkrumah and intellectuals like Frantz Fanon fought to reclaim African cultural identity. The louder Africans demanded independence, the more Western powers interpreted this as evidence they needed more assistance—a dynamic that continues today. Be sure to explore our library of past podcast episodes, which include more than a dozen recent books on Africa.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED Nov 2, 2023 Alyson and Breht discuss the ongoing national liberation struggle in Palestine. Together, they discuss the incredible shift in public opinion on Israel and Palestine, the internal and external contradictions culminating in unison for Israel, the discussion about whether or not what Israel is doing is technically a genocide (it absolutely is), international law, Frantz Fanon on the psychology of national liberation, the prospects of a broader regional war, the possibilities of Turkish or Iranian engagement, the history and core elements of Zionism, the analytical importance of the settler colonial and decolonization frameworks, the disgusting role that Biden and the Democratic Party are playing in manufacturing consent for Israel's civilian mass murder campaign, the "lesser of two genocider" arguments being trotted out by liberals, how Hamas is basically an orphan army of men who have had their families killed by Israel in previous assaults, why we should reject the "terrorist" framing of the western ruling elites, what the palestinian resistance has managed to accomplish, and what might emerge from the Ruins of Gaza when all is said and done... ---------------------------------------------------- Support Rev Left and get access to bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/revleftradio Make a one-time donation to Rev Left at BuyMeACoffee.com/revleftradio Follow, Subscribe, & Learn more about Rev Left Radio HERE
