In this Lacan Scotland talk, Robert Beshara will build on his work in A Psychoanalytic <\/em>Biography<\/em> of Ye: The Legacy of Unconditional Love<\/em>, which covers five years in Kanye West’s career (2016-2021), to reflect further on the ethics, politics, and aesthetics of his latest music project Vultures 1<\/em>–his collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign. The talk will focus, in particular, on the question of fascism while also considering the specificity of Ye’s manic-depressive subjectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
