The Iranian Diaspora’s New Politics of Belonging Séamus Malekafzali In September 1980, Reza Pahlavi, having been deposed as crown prince only a year earlier, wrote a letter on the royal stationery of a dynasty that no longer existed. It was not addressed to his supporters, nor to any foreign government, but to the new government of his home country, the Islamic Republic. In the letter, Pahlavi…
On Political-Libidinal Doubles Richard Seymour In Future of Denial: Ideologies of Climate Change , the psychoanalyst and theologian Tad DeLay asks a simple question: “What does the liberal want?” Liberals claim to care deeply about climate change, for instance. Yet, repeatedly, they reject “any minimal mitigation” of the sort advanced by the social-democratic left if they detect “egalitarianism in…
Andrew Brooks & Astrid Lorange In Silicon Valley, the libertarians are dead. Tech bros have ditched the image of the hoodie-wearing disruptor, left behind the informality of the startup incubator, and no longer espouse capital mobility as their sole objective. In 2023, the king of ketamine, Elon Musk, challenged the coding nerd turned mixed-martial artist Mark Zuckerberg to a cage fight in a show…
Idris Robinson’s Political Theology Juliana Spahr Hours after John Brown was executed for his failed raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, Thoreau called him “an angel of light.” Louis Ransom (in 1860) and Thomas Hovenden (around 1884) painted images of him stooping to kiss a Black infant held up to him by its mother, depicting a possibly apocryphal encounter described by a New York newspaper three days…
The first time I walked into her office, I was out of breath. I had gone six whole months without really good supervision, and my early-career clinical load was starting to break me. The accumulation of all sorts of countertransferences, a vague sense that I was listening hard but for the wrong things, and the strain of my third real year in analysis had all started to set in. I had first seen her…
On Healing Institutions Tobias Jenkins The most famous photograph of Francesc Tosquelles shows him balanced barefoot on the corrugated metal roof of the administrative building of the psychiatric hospital of Saint-Alban-sur-Limagnole in the South of France, of which he was the director from 1953 to 1962. He holds above his head a sculpture of a ship constructed from found pieces of metal, cloth,…
Akshi Singh Marion Milner is an extraordinary psychoanalytic theorist of creativity—one who invested creative work (in its most expanded sense: writing, collage, painting, listening, home-making, clothes, living) with feelings of hope and potentiality. Milner was a romantic about art and creativity, committed to joining romance with the creative act. She shared a sensibility with traditions of…
Marion Milner In putting together a folio on Marion Milner, Marianne and I found that we wanted above all to share aspects of Milner’s archive that concern art and creative life. We include here an extract from one of Milner’s diaries, which describes her experience of color and her reflections on sublimation. Readers of Milner’s On Not Being Able to Paint will be able to draw connections between…
