Why Study Lacan (w/ Andrew Flores AKA The Big Signorelli)
RSam Podcast
Desire, Drive, and Subjectivity in Psychoanalysis
This chapter explores the intricate concepts of desire, transference, and drive as articulated by Freud and Lacan, contrasting the utilitarian aspects of desire with the repetitive nature of drive. It examines the influence of cultural norms on human behavior and the implications of these psychoanalytic theories within the framework of capitalism. Additionally, it highlights the interplay between Marxist critiques and Lacanian analysis, focusing on concepts such as surplus value and the dynamics of self-sabotage in the pursuit of satisfaction.
Andrew Flores is an autodidact in Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis, philosophy, theology, and Marxism. In this episode, we discuss Lacan's metapsychology and theory of the subject.
