Triggering the End of the Colonial World: Tosquelles and Fanon
François Tosquelles’s thesis provides an important and underappreciated foundation for Fanon’s discussions of violence and lived experience. Reconstructing the psychological trigger for decolonization is my central aim. Essential to this is Tosquelles’s concept of the lived experience of the end of the-world in madness. Elucidating Tosquelles’s central hypothesis, this article reconstructs his conception of this symptom as key to a form of genera…
L’Entre d’eux: Lacan, Serres and the climate emergency
My article claims that the acceleration of the generalised planetary ecological crisis has been worsened by a form of collective reasoning called disavowal. To understand why and how this mode of reasoning in the Global North is accelerating climate boiling, I turn to Michel Serres's Le parasite and Jacques Lacan's psychoanalysis. I seek to bridge the gap between Serres and Lacan on the question of language and its connection to human intersubjec…
I am a Clown: Lacan's Difficult Literary Dandyism
Jacques Lacan was a notoriously difficult and idiosyncratic thinker. But is there any value in his hermetically difficult style? By highlighting certain crucial elements of his practice, I show how Lacan enlists the notion of difficulty to press home that he did not want his readers to understand directly. Instead, as Foucault and Althusser explain so well, Lacan wished for his readers and auditors to discover themselves as subjects of desire thr…
A lesson for the world: Solange Faladé’s anti-colonial multiracialism
Solange Adelola Falad ) was a French-Beninois doctor, anthropologist and psychoanalyst.The first woman Franco-African psychoanalyst in France, she founded her own psychoanalytical society, l'cole freudienne, in 1983.The aim of this article is twofold: on the one hand, I introduce Falad's life and works, and on the other, I discuss her theory of multiracialism.I focus on Falad's activities with the Institut d'Ethno-Psychopathologie Africaine and h…
La Mère dangereuse: Reimagining Scudéry's Carte de Tendre with Lacan's Graph of Desire
Madeleine de Scudéry’s Carte de Tendre first appeared in Clélie, histoire romaine (1654–60), and it illustrates a lover’s journey, plotting the possible emotional responses to friendship. In this article, I suggest that we can read Scudéry’s Carte in the light of Jacques Lacan’s graph of desire. I synthesize Scudéry’s Carte with Lacan’s graph to adapt it to include Lacan’s view that ‘il n’y a pas de rapport sexuel’.1 Although this article digs in…
The Logician of Madness: Fanon's Lacan
In recent years, commentators have begun to re-examine the proximity of Frantz Fanon's and Jacques Lacan's work - a proximity which has traditionally been underappreciated. This article adds to these voices, demonstrating the reciprocal intellectual relationship between these two figures. It develops five interrelated arguments to chart this proximity. First, it emphasizes Lacan's and Fanon's connections through their ontological perspectives on …
