Welcome to the penultimate episode of our summer podcast series on SXXIII! This one’s titled “Fashioning the Real,” and it returns us to a familiar diagram — but with a certain late-Lacanian twist, of course!
Our new series on Seminar XXIV also begins this Friday, September 11, so this is an especially momentous week. Join us as we trace the linguistic and theoretical leaps that Lacan made after his seminar on The Sinthome, from the Freudian Unbewusstes to the French l’une-bévue to the English unbewoops.

I didn’t realize what this episode was about until the very end, when I started wondering what you call a noun that's been transformed into a verb, but without adding any affixes. The technical, linguistic name for this couldn’t be better: “Zero Derivation.” 🤯 Head to our YouTube channel if you want to watch this one play out.
And don’t forget to mark your calendar: the first live discussion in our fall series on Love Is the Failure of the Unbewoops (Seminar XXIV) is fast approaching! Access the complete schedule, checkout the readings, and secure your spot now!

Our fall series on Seminar XXIV begins in two weeks, and I couldn’t be more excited to explore this key text in Lacanian psychoanalysis with everyone!
To give you a preview of where we’re heading, here’s a nine-minute sample from the opening lecture. I’m calling it “Corps Torique,” but don’t make too much of this fancy title. The lecture is fundamentally about stupidity — the particular kind of stupidity it takes to study Lacan. 😆
Registration is still open, and our first live online discussion is fast approaching, so now’s the time to secure your spot. Link below to join this late-Lacan party!

“Wax & Feather” — that’s what we’re calling this one. You’ll see why as the episode unfolds. Again, note the pink dots in the diagram below, this batch in service to a closed trefoil knot (read: perversion). Head to our YouTube channel for the full video recording.
And if this episode leaves you wanting more, our deep dive into Love is the Failure of the Unbewoops (Seminar XXIV) is fast approaching! Checkout the full week-by-week schedule, and secure your spot via our sliding-scale registration via the link below.🤘🏼
