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\u2019s 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<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the Speaker<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Jeremy R.
