En-Joui<\/em> Your Symptom: On Non-Psychoanalysis and the Philo-Analytic Complex<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the past decade and a half, the work of Fran\u00e7ois Laruelle has garnered international recognition for his inventive theoretical practice called non-philosophy, becoming the subject of scholarship, interpretation, and advancement. In this talk by the translator of Theory of Strangers: Science of People, Democracy, and Non-Psychoanalysis, Jeremy R. Smith provides an introduction to non-philosophy for new readers and scholars of Lacan and Lacanian psychoanalysis to see Laruelle’s insights into what he calls non-psychoanalysis. This talk will give an overview of non-philosophy, the stakes of the translation, as well as the non-analytic implications it introduces with the conceptual vocabulary, theoretical apparatus, and potential practical applications present in the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
