The Other Side of Psychoanalysis (Seminar XVII), Episode 6

The podcast explores Lacan's concept of knowledge in psychoanalysis and its connection to renunciation and symbolic alienation. It delves into the relationship between renunciation and the symbolic order, as well as the concept of surplus enjoyment. The podcast also discusses Walter Benjamin's concept of aura in relation to mechanical reproduction and explores the connection between entropy, art, and information theory. The metaphor of the parable of the sewer is used to understand entropy, and the retroactive nature of entropy is explored. Shout out to artist Jerry Paper for the podcast's theme music.
