Happy anniversary! Still my favourite podcast, looking forward to seeing you in Utrecht.

How does the idea of phobia being the basic form of subjectivity or neurosis as such square with Zizek's (and I think Lacan's) idea that subjectivity is at its most basic, hysteric?

enjoyment  and  castration go hand by hand// Is it fair that enjoyment is achieved through suffering , at the expense of suffering ? If so where the obcessive neurotic enjoyment is situated

the neurotic enjoys using hysterics as a prop. the hysteric enjoys using the real master's debasement ( castration) through the eyes of the imaginary master.

What would it be to let the preserve become coextensive with the national/political terrain? Are there competing fantasies or do these things come together commensurably?

Ryan and Todd discuss the diagnostic categories of psychoanalysis, beginning with neurosis. They analyze the three forms of neurosis--hysteria, obsession, and phobia--while also focusing on the different manifestations of these three forms in the contemporary political arena.

Neurosis

Why Theory brings continental philosophy and psychoanalytic theory together to examine cultural phenomena.
