Honestly respect for trying to give out free lectures on RUclips while getting barely any views. I hope you get more popular so people can actually recognize your hard work for trying to teach people virtually on RUclips
I was making them for my own students any way, but then I saw some old videos do numbers and figured why not make it an actual channel. Thanks for your support! I think it'll grow over time. Plus this is kind of my hobby now since I got bored of Minecraft lol
My subs have tripled since you posted this comment!
Can't believe these lectures are available for free. Thanks a ton! Would appreciate a video on how to carry out analyses through their particular lenses (psychoanalytic, feminist, etc.)
This is a great suggestion, thank you! Look for a torrent of new content in 2024!
“This is it, the moment you’ve been waiting for; when a middle aged white guy will explain feminism to you.” 😂 that had me rolling
In a academia this is called a "positionality statement "
Very interesting! Would you happen to have any recommendations for further reading, specifically from the psychoanalytic French feminism works?
Thank you for your question. A great place to start is Hélène Cixous, "The Laugh of the Medusa," (1975) which articulates the concept of écriture féminine, encouraging women to write as a form of reclaiming their bodies and voices. Closely associated in Luce Irigiray-- her most influential essay in the English speaking world is "This Sex Which Is Not One" (1977). Kristeva's "Powers of Horror" is another widely cited classic. Monique Wittig's essay "The Straight Mind" (1980) connects French feminism to lesbian theory and moves toward the third wave troubling of sex and gender. I may disuss these works further in future video essays planned on Lacan and on gender theory.
@@IohannesRhetor Excitedly looking forward to the video essays you mentioned!
