The editor of the book, Professor Cindy Zeiher (University of Canterbury) serves as session chair together with Professor Calum Neill (Director of Lacan in Scotland) where they discuss some of the contributions with authors of the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Event Description<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There is nothing new in thinking that we live in stupid times. While many thinkers think (or have thought) about stupidity as a symptom, Lacan considered it as immune to the influence of psychoanalysis, saying about himself, \u201cI am only relatively stupid\u2015that is to say, I am as stupid as all people\u2015perhaps because I got a little bit enlightened.\u201d Here stupidity\u2019s inescapability signifies (and is signified by) the absence of any coherent foundation in desire and lack but instead emanates from the will to jouissance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This seminar features Jean-Michel Rabat\u00e9 (University of Pennsylvania), Samo Tom\u0161i\u010d (Humboldt Universit\u00e4t), James Martell (Lyon College), Antonio Viselli( University of Canterbury) and Cindy Zeiher (University of Canterbury) to discuss their contributions to a new collection dedicated to Lacanian readings of stupidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Event date and location: 30 January 2025, Online (Zoom)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2019,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recordings","category-video"],"gutentor_comment":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2045"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2045\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2047,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2045\/revisions\/2047"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2019"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lacaninscotland.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
