Thank you so much for this. I think your lovely, unassuming and genuinely enthusiastic style of interviewing really helped to harness the best in Leon Brenner for these topics. You really helped give shape to the discussion. Excellent, and I will watch it again.
This is wonderful. I absolutely LOVE Brenner’s work. Since I’ve gotten into Lacanian psychoanalysis, and its mundane implications began to really sink in, I’ve actually experienced a lot of very visceral changes in the libidinal body that Brenner discusses here. It’s so hard to describe, in a way…it’s more direct than just shifting around your “ways of thinking and feeling about things”, which I think is what people expect therapy to accomplish. It’s wild how much “the body” is constructed by fantasy, and how much imagined dispositions seem to reside in the muscles, in our movements, in our verbal and visual interactions with other people. And how they’re not nearly as fixed as they intuitively and experientially seem. And the excitement and passion he describes coming out of seeing that is absolutely tangible. Thanks :)
Very interesting to hear Leon Brenner again... Tomorrow, I think, he is engaging in a talk with Julie Reshe, who is also a recent guest of yours, and his Theory Underground events also seem interesting (although I dislike Theory Underground to some extent). Do invite Brenner again to talk about his new book. I've added his first book to my list and, hopefully, I'd finish it before *Falling in Love with Lacan and Badiou*!
Yes! I’m looking forward to the dialogue between Leon and Julie. And I certainly am hoping to have Leon again to discuss his new book whenever it’s out!

*I provoke* ~ the use of the word love throughout this interview, and the withstandings ratherthan non-understandings (transference/countertransference) of such in therapy is, perhaps, as Kristeva says, within the metonymic order of the analyst and metaphoric sacrifice of the analysand ... the early clinical work of Prof Ann Carson took such a view back in the 1990's when the first studies of bpd were underway to differentiate 'the condition' from schizophrenia amongst often detained female patients, and often victims of sexual violence ... while bpd has entered DSM/ICD it is in a radically altered way from that intended by Prof Carson's; and her work deleted, or so it seems. Incidentally, the neuroscience of adhd/autism and the experience of emotional dysregulation symptomatic to bpd and austic burnout is a hotly contested diagnostic and treatment area... **great pod, again, Rahul**

Fascinating! Which Prof Ann Carson are you referring to here? I assume not the Canadian poet? Any books you recommend on the matter? And thanks for your insightful comment, as usual, Alec! I only wish I had the time (and knowledge) to reply to them more thoughtfully.
@@RahulSamI can't find her like at all ~ glitch or what! I trained with her in the 90s, or rather she trained me while she was in the UK.

Laske's Primer on Dialectics is worth a read for his differentiation of the dialogical and dialectical.

Thanks for the lovely comment! And indeed Leon is fantastic! I hope to have him on again when his book on Love is released.

Is that conversation out on RUclips yet? Seems like an interesting crossover, never thought I’d see Brenner and Reshe talking together

Very well done Interview!
