RU161: CARL ABRAHAMSSON PRESENTS ANTON LAVEY: MAGICAL INNOVATOR
Already in The Satanic Bible, Anton LaVey had shown considerable creativity. Concepts like "Psychic Vampire" and "The Balance Factor" soon became household terms in America and the rest of the world. His description of the ritual space as an "Intellectual Decompression Chamber" also hit home outside the strictly Satanic perimeters. As did the slightly later term "Occultnik", signifying a person who is lost within old structures of occultism without being able to see what's really of use on a practical, material level. LaVey’s initial key works, The Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals, are great examples of creative appropriation and reformulation. But the two volumes of essays and maxims that followed much later, ie The Devil's Notebook and Satan Speaks, genuinely contain the essence of LaVey's wit and creativity. In these books, we find many fascinating topics: the integration of emotionally resonant music, stressing the ego, encouraging a sense of humour, artificial human companions, the total environment, the archetype of the villain, the third side of truth and much more. Join me for a darkside trip into the Satanic mind of Anton LaVey – magical innovator!

His Lucifer: Princeps (2015), is a study of the origins of the figure of Lucifer; he is currently writing the second part, Lucifer: Praxis, which addresses working with the fallen angels of the Enochic tradition and their transvection into the grimoires and modern practice. https://scarletimprint.com

RU159: LACAN AND RACE – SHELDON GEORGE, DEREK HOOK, MICHELLE STEPHENS, SHEILA CAVANAGH
Rendering Unconscious welcomes Drs Sheldon George, Derek Hook, Sheila Cavanagh and Michelle Stephens to the podcast to discuss the groundbreaking new book Lacan and Race: Racism, Identity, and Psychoanalytic Theory!
This edited volume draws upon Lacanian psychoanalytic theory to examine the conscious and unconscious forces underlying race as a social formation, conceptualizing race, racial identity, and racism in ways that go beyond traditional modes of psychoanalytic thought.
Featuring contributions by Lacanian scholars from diverse geographical and disciplinary contexts, chapters span a wide breadth of topics, including white nationalism and contemporary debates over confederate monuments; emergent theories of race rooted in Afropessimism and postcolonialism; analyses of racism in apartheid and American slavery; clinical reflections on Latinx and other racialized patients; and applications of Lacan’s concepts of the lamella, drive and sexuation to processes of racialization. The collection both reorients readers’ understandings of race through its deployment of Lacanian theory and redefines the Lacanian subject through its theorizing of subjectivity in relation to race, racism and racial identification.
Lacan and Race will be a definitive text for psychoanalytic theorists and contemporary scholars of race, appealing to readers across the fields of psychology, cultural studies, humanities, politics, and sociology.
Order the book here: https://www.routledge.com/Lacan-and-Race-Racism-Identity-and-Psychoanalytic-Theory/George-Hook/p/book/9780367345976
Sheldon George is professor and chair of English at Simmons University, USA. He is the author of Trauma and Race: A Lacanian Study of African American Racial Identity. https://www.baylorpress.com/9781602587342/trauma-and-race/
