Sexual Difference, Class Struggle, and the Problem of Classification

Masterclass: Masterclass: Transcendental Subjectivity, Sexual Difference, Brain Sciences Part 1. The two classes will examine how Lacan’s teaching enables us to grasp sexual difference as the constitutive feature of transcendental subjectivity, plus how recent advances in brain sciences continue to rely on transcendental presuppositions. The question to be discussed is: how will the new results of brain sciences, as well as the digitalization of our lives, affect subjectivity, especially in its political dimension?
