Todd McGowan joins the show once again, this time to discuss his newest book "Pure Excess: Capitalism and the Commodity". Together, he and Breht discuss commodity fetishism, the tensions between Marxism and psychoanalysis, what a critique of the subjective aspects of capitalism offers anti-capitalist politics, the "superstructural malaise" of late capitalism, Desire and Lack, capitalism's death drive, how to resist becoming a neoliberal subject, and much more.  "Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, McGowan shows how the production of commodities explains the role of excess in the workings of capitalism. Capitalism and the commodity ensnare us with the image of the constant fulfillment of our desires―the seductive but unattainable promise of satisfying a longing that has no end. To challenge this system, McGowan turns to art, arguing that it can expose the psychological mechanisms that perpetuate capitalist society and reveal the need for limits. Featuring lively writing and engaging examples from film, literature, and popular culture, Pure Excess uncovers the hidden logic of capitalism―and helps us envision a noncapitalist life in a noncapitalist society."

The great political ideas and movements of the modern world were founded on a promise of universal emancipation. But in recent decades, much of the Left has grown suspicious of such aspirations. Critics see the invocation of universality as a form of domination or a way of speaking for others, and have come to favor a politics of particularism—often derided as “identity politics.” Others, both centrists and conservatives, associate universalism with twentieth-century totalitarianism and hold that it is bound to lead to catastrophe. This book develops a new conception of universality that helps us rethink political thought and action. Todd McGowan argues that universals such as equality and freedom are not imposed on us. They emerge from our shared experience of their absence and our struggle to attain them. McGowan reconsiders the history of Nazism and Stalinism and reclaims the universalism of movements fighting racism, sexism, and homophobia. He demonstrates that the divide between Right and Left comes down to particularity versus universality. Despite the accusation of identity politics directed against leftists, every emancipatory political project is fundamentally a universal one—and the real proponents of identity politics are the right wing. Through a wide range of examples in contemporary politics, film, and history, Universality and Identity Politics (Columbia UP, 2020) offers an antidote to the impasses of identity and an inspiring vision of twenty-first-century collective struggle. Todd McGowan is professor of film studies at the University of Vermont. His previous Columbia University Press books are The Impossible David Lynch (2007), Capitalism and Desire: The Psychic Cost of Free Markets (2016), and Emancipation After Hegel: Achieving a Contradictory Revolution (2019). He is the coeditor of the Diaeresis series at Northwestern University Press with Slavoj Žižek and Adrian Johnston. He is also cohost of the Why Theory podcast, which brings continental philosophy and psychoanalytic theory together to examine cultural phenomena. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mikä meitä vaivaa? vie kuulijat pyhätunnelmiin puhumalla yli 2 tuntia Avatar kakkosesta, tekoälystä, Napolista ja siitä miksi kaikki on niin tyhmää. Pontus on keskustellut silmänsä kuiviksi tekoälyn kanssa ja luotaa nyt uuden teknologian mahdollisuuksia niin työn ja luovuuden apuvälineenä kuin suurena yhteisvarantojen kaappausjärjestelmänä. Veikka on palannut Napolista ja pohdiskelee eurooppalaisuuden käsitteen sisällöttömyyttä ja suhdettamme poissaoleviin tiloihin. Veikkaa vaivaa se miten kaikki on niin tyhmää: samat latteudet kiertävät loputtomina luuppeina pääkirjoituksissa, someviisasteluissa ja ilmastodebatissa. Veikka esittelee kolme näkökulmaa tyhmyyteen ja tunnustaa tuntevansa inhon rinnalla halua vihalukemiseen. Pontus kävi vahingossa katsomassa uuden Avatarin ja analysoi sitä faijaelokuvana ja toisaalta automainoksena. Avatarin mikrotason militarismi romuttaa makrotason ekologia-sanoman, ja silti meidän odotetaan hurraavan typerille sankareille ihan niin kuin Aristoteleen Politiikka-teokselle.

This is a special Why Theory episode that was recorded live at the Impakt Festival that took place in Utrecht, Netherlands. Ryan and Todd discuss the theme of the festival--"the curse of smooth operations"--in terms of our relationship to technology. They question how technology provides enjoyment for us. The introduction ends at 4:53, and the question and answer period starts at 57:48.

In this episode, I speak to Dr. Todd McGowan. Todd is a professor in the Department of English at The University of Vermont. He is also the co-host of the podcast, Why Theory. In this episode, we discuss his book, Emancipation After Hegel: Achieving a Contradictory Revolution. In this conversation we explore various topics: Todd's conservative Christian upbringing Freud & the unconscious Hegel's understanding of contradiction The philosopher Heraclitus Hegel's understanding of God and Christianity Happiness & meaning Don Draper & Mad Men Much more!

In this episode conference director Matthew Biberman talks with Ryan Engley. Currently an Assistant Professor of English at Pamona College, Engley researches the intersection of psychoanalytic theory and media studies. Along with Todd McGowan, Engley co-hosts the popular podcast Why Theory, which brings Continental philosophy and psychoanalytic theory together to examine contemporary phenomena. This LCLC podcast episode is intended for graduate students, advanced undergraduates and anyone interested in sharing their (humanities oriented) work at academic conferences. Ryan and Matthew review all the nuts and bolts of conferencing including preparing submission documents, presenting, handling Q and A, networking and other related concerns about socializing in such intellectual settings.

Todd McGowan returns to the show, this time to discuss the French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist Jacques Lacan. Breht and Todd explore many of his core concepts, his relation to Freud and Freud's theory, his politics, his contributions to psychology, how his insights can useful for us today, and so much more.  Check out Todd's podcast “Why Theory?” on your preferred podcast app!

The great political ideas and movements of the modern world were founded on a promise of universal emancipation. But in recent decades, much of the Left has grown suspicious of such aspirations. Critics see the invocation of universality as a form of domination or a way of speaking for others, and have come to favor a politics of particularism—often derided as “identity politics.” Others, both centrists and conservatives, associate universalism with twentieth-century totalitarianism and hold that it is bound to lead to catastrophe. This book develops a new conception of universality that helps us rethink political thought and action. Todd McGowan argues that universals such as equality and freedom are not imposed on us. They emerge from our shared experience of their absence and our struggle to attain them. McGowan reconsiders the history of Nazism and Stalinism and reclaims the universalism of movements fighting racism, sexism, and homophobia. He demonstrates that the divide between Right and Left comes down to particularity versus universality. Despite the accusation of identity politics directed against leftists, every emancipatory political project is fundamentally a universal one—and the real proponents of identity politics are the right wing. Through a wide range of examples in contemporary politics, film, and history, Universality and Identity Politics (Columbia UP, 2020) offers an antidote to the impasses of identity and an inspiring vision of twenty-first-century collective struggle. Todd McGowan is professor of film studies at the University of Vermont. His previous Columbia University Press books are The Impossible David Lynch (2007), Capitalism and Desire: The Psychic Cost of Free Markets (2016), and Emancipation After Hegel: Achieving a Contradictory Revolution (2019). He is the coeditor of the Diaeresis series at Northwestern University Press with Slavoj Žižek and Adrian Johnston. He is also cohost of the Why Theory podcast, which brings continental philosophy and psychoanalytic theory together to examine cultural phenomena. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Inform: Podcast I interview Why Theory's Ryan Engley about psychoanalysis in the classroom. (Tod McGowan, the other half of Why theory was interviewed about this same topic on an earlier episode of InForm.)  Our conversation ranges all over the place, but one of the consistent themes is the idea of sustaining the analysand's/student's desire/curiosity. Some of our references include:  Lacan's Seminar 17  T.R. Johnson's book The Other Side of Pedagogy  The Pedagogy of the Oppressed  The TV Show: Peep Show, and (of course) Mad Men

In this episode, I speak with Todd McGowan about the ideas of French psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan.  Todd McGowan is professor of theory and film at the University of Vermont. He is also an author and one of the hosts of the excellent podcast, Why Theory. For more info on Todd's work, please visit the links below.

Episode #63:  A Tincture of Time   (Song at 26.58) (Song plays at 26.58 - you can scroll easily. Each episode is approx 30mins long). Hi there and welcome! This episode, we have a have a different sort of a format: I'm looking closely at how this song came together, rather than what inspired it. On that note I can you tell exactly what inspired this song… I've been receiving some very nice, ongoing, positive feedback regarding my Song and a Chat podcast, courtesy of Roger from Adelaide, Australia. In an email, Roger used the phrase ‘A tincture of time'. I said that I thought it was a great line...and that I thought perhaps Roger might be a poet. This week Roger sent me the sheet of lyrics based on this key phrase (thanks, Roger!) So I thought: well Roger's been great, reaching out and giving me this feedback, so I'm going to leap straight in and put some music to this (he'd asked me if perhaps I'd be interested in doing this), which I did.  The demo of the song is presented in this week's podcast.  I also videoed myself during the entire song writing session - in between teaching piano students at a Primary school, where I teach as a contractor. So I have included some of the audio from that day and interspersed it with my usual commentary and observations. Today's song is about the idea of getting out into nature and letting a bit a of fresh air and a bit of time take care of all your worries....and how it all seems to work out... Ok. Fancy a tincture of time, and hearing how the writing of this song unfolded?  Here we go… Read both Roger's original lyrics and my amended lyrics on my blog post ‘Why Theory?'

Ryan Engley, assistant professor of media studies and co-host of the Why Theory podcast joins us for the final episode of this Sagecast season. Engley unpacks for us the intersection of psychoanalysis and media studies, where he focuses his research. He also chats about his love for television and seriality, as well as the importance discussing mental health in his courses.

In our conversation with Todd McGowan we discuss his 2016 book Capitalism and Desire. Todd brings us through what he argues is the essential role of desire in capitalism—not as something which is repressed by the system, as many have argued, but rather how capitalism perpetuates itself through the very structure of desire. Without coming to terms with this, he says, any attempt to formulate a new system, or find the exit from capitalism, plays into the terms capitalism lays out in the form of “the promise.” Get the book here.

This week, on Zizek and So on, we interview Todd McGowan, professor of English at the University of Vermont. Todd’s thought centralizes on the likes of Hegel, Lacan, Freud and Marx, and he is the author of several books, most notably, “Capitalism and Desire: The Psychic Cost of Free Markets”, and last year's “Emancipation After Hegel: Achieving a Contradictory Revolution.” His newest book “Universality and Identity Politics” is set to come out this July. Todd also co-hosts a terrific podcast with Ryan Engley called "Why Theory?" And we encourage you guys to seek it out. Todd spoke with us this week about the unity of Hegel and Lacan that is present in both his work and Zizek’s, about post-structuralism, the concept of contradiction, and the problem of the subject.

Welcome to Episode 36 of Nooks and Crannies! Stranger Danger Real-Estate Markets or Funky-Town Money Laundering :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Welcome back to Canada Evan who just spent 10 days in Cuba! His gastrointestinal track is proof positive that he had a “blast” evidently he still is…Gross. (3:00) We got yet another Spotify Playlist, for Evan’s ridicule. Violet’s Funky Town; old-school funk and disco era tunes that make Vi wiggle. Matt also discovers Evan’s Achilles Heel to counter-act his critiques: Heavy Unwarranted Praise! (9:03) Might have been the single malt; we cut a quick little Meta Pod Babble Segment about Wholistic Pod-Intentionality, or some shit… (12:26) This is a big ol Political Segment about the ongoing issue(s) of Money Laundering in BC’s Casino’s and Canada’s Real-Estate market. This is a story that E and M both know quite a bit about, so we give solid background and provide our own real life experiences witnessing the skyrocketing costs of housing alongside the Stagnation of Real Income levels. I don’t know what got up my ass on this one folks, but, Mamoo grows an impressive beard, his hair gets a little zany and boy oh boy his Marxist vanguard waves ferociously!   (27:51): We are resurrecting the Podcast Recommendation Section plagiarized from Matty’s Corner on the Podstuff Podcast. We start with the good Canadian Kids; Skip and Josh who have a solid a-political(ish) pod about professional and NCAA sports, if you are looking for coverage and solid analysis on all things players, scores, owners, transactions and interesting tidbits on the Media. Friends of our show too! The Edge of Sports podcast is intensely political and hosted by the Wokest sports podcaster: Dave Zarin. If you are looking for progressive athletic coverage that goes way beyond the headlines, digging into the Nooks and Crannies of sports politics, check out the Edge of Sports podcast! Burn it All Down is like EoS but from a feminist and female-centric perspective. Hosted by four outstandingly brilliant co-hosts one of which is in Canada, eh! All the episodes and topics focus on female athletes and their sports (pro and amateur) and due to the extreme bias in the mainstream press you will surely hear dozens of new things on each listen. It’s a segmented show, love the Burn Pile btw, and the guests they have are very thought-provoking. One of the best new pod discoveries of my last 6 months! Keep up the fine work!! Last but not least; Evan brings in Why Theory about psycho-analytic theory and its applications *theory is the perspectives used and applied to data to help analysis, perspective basically. Anywho, Evan comes out of the Freudian Closet on this one, weird little psycho-analyzer, whereas Matty is of course a Jungian. Couple of Pedantic dillwads eh?  (34:31) We cap things off with another 90s Memories from Old Man Matty’s Dimming Mind, this edition we have the really dark and depressing: STRANGER DANGER! Hear about Matt’s bearspray and personal auditory alert device, how my inability to go “downtown” until I was 21 shaped my entire personality, note how Evan notes this, hear about BC’s propensity to produce serial killers, some really sad conversations, how Evan met his first Anthropologist in Winnipeg, how 8y.o. Mamoo sidestepped the Jerk Off Specialist on his way to Mac’s; and we cap things with a broad discussion (future episode for sure) about True Crime as a pod genre and our puzzlement over its continuous popularity. **I will mention this in the episode too, sorry for the giggles, that was nervous laughter on Matt’s part, true-crime and the cases makes me sad and nervous, really uncomfortable, its why I was trying desperately to somewhat make light of experiences we had…and why this will be our last TC segment ever! Others that do these kinds of shows do so properly** Talks to You All soon, aren’t I lucky?? Next Episode: A deep dive on Zombie’s with our very own Cinematic Expert Paaaauuuh__ll Combs! Chris, from Playcomics Podcast, managed to weasel his way on the episode, probably payback for me attempting to relentlessly kick him off his show and replace him with myself. Serious, not serious :-) Chris is the best and this one was a blast! ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Violet’s Funky Town https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7qhVf8fSSvopvAtVwmBKFg?si=4rVO9Mb0T9ms4ilAbQWf8w W5 Documentary on Money Laundering in BC Casino’s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddsGyJ-7Zw0) Skip and Josh pod (https://skipandjosh.com/) Edge of Sports (https://www.edgeofsportspodcast.com/) Burn it all Down (https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/episodes) Why Theory (https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/why-theory/id1299863834) Playcomics Podcast (https://playcomics.com/) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: N&C Links All The Episodes Our Social Links in One Place  Drop us a line: Nooksandcranniespod@gmail.com Tweet a little Tweet at Us: https://twitter.com/NooksCrannie Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/nooksandcranniespodcast Ponder Evan’s Blurry Pictures: https://www.instagram.com/nooks_and_crannies_pod/ Find Nooks and Crannies on Spotify Follow, Rate and Review on Podchaser (please!)

Quick note: This episode was distance recorded in a way different from other Why Theory episodes. Technology was not our friend before this recording, so the audio quality may be somewhat lesser than other episodes. We apologize for that. We do not, however, apologize for the content, which benefited from the presence of theorist Richard Boothby, who added his expertise to a discussion of the concept of das Ding. Ryan, Todd, and Rick probe the ethical and political implications of das Ding, as well as locating its place in the development of Lacan's thought.

My guests are Todd McGowan and Ryan Engley. They are the co-hosts of Why Theory (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/why-theory/id1299863834?mt=2), a podcast that brings continental philosophy and psychoanalytic theory together to examine cultural phenomenon. Special Guests: Ryan Engley and Todd McGowan.

Thanks for tuning in to Why Theory. On this episode, Todd and I discuss three interrelated terms: the master signifier, the quilting point, and the universal. Our conversation starts with a discussion of Lacan’s development of the master signifier and his curious abandonment of the quilting point. In the middle portion of the episode, we get stuck in to the different ways the master signifier has been articulated as a political term before concluding with a discussion about the universal that harkens back to our previous episode. Lots of moving parts in this episode but I think it’s our most comprehensive to date. As always, thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy the conversation.

Just in time for the World Cup to have already started comes this episode of Why Theory on Sports, Ideology, Enjoyment, and Contradiction. Todd and I are huge sports fans and teased an episode on sports and theory all the way back in our first episode on theories of comedy. We hope this conversation is worth the wait. As always, thanks so much for listening.

Thanks for joining us on Why Theory. In this episode, Todd and I give a few recommendations on where to start and where not start introductory readings from six psychoanalytic theorists: Freud, Lacan, Slavoj Zizek, Joan Copjec, Alenka Zupancic, and Mari Ruti. This is the first iteration of what will hopefully be a mini series on where to start and where not to start with different thinkers. We both think this is a fine start but who are we to judge. Thanks for listening, as always. We hope you enjoy the conversation. Recommended in this episode: Freud: "A Note Upon the Mystic Writing Pad," "Negation," "Fetishism," The Interpretation of Dreams Lacan: The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis, Anxiety Zizek: Looking Awry, The Plague of Fantasies, The Fright of Real Tears, The Parallax View, Less Than Nothing Copjec: "The Orthopsychic Subject," "Sex and the Euthanasia of Reason" Zupancic: The Odd One In, Ethics of the Real Ruti: The Call of Character: Living a Life Worth Living; Between Levinas and Lacan: Self, Other, Ethics; The Ethics of Opting Out

As Freud famously said to Jung upon their arrival in the United States for a lecture series at Clark University, “They don’t realize we are bringing them the plague.” Now, lots of people say Freud never said this, upon seeing the Statue of Liberty, referring to psychoanalysis as “the plague,” but Lacan said that Jung said that Freud said it, and who among us is going to let a possibly dodgy game of telephone get in the way of a good story? Either way, bringing the plague to your ears is this episode of Why Theory. Recorded with special guest Hugh Manon of Clark University, the only place Freud ever lectured in America, we discuss CGI, Anxiety, The Last Jedi and a whole bunch of other stuff. Get excited. Get the plague and, as always, thanks for listening.

In this episode of Why Theory, a podcast that brings continental philosophy and psychoanalytic theory together to explain cultural phenomena, Todd and Ryan discuss "fake news"...without ever talking about fake news. More specifically, this episode looks at the psychic and philosophical structure that undergirds seeing certain news as fake, distrusting information outside of the self entirely, and what to do with "bias." (Apologies for the audio issues in the early part of this episode.)
