More-than-human matters: climate, embodiment, and time.

Sunday, March 20, 2022, 3:30 – 5:00PM

The three clinicians on this panel critically and creatively explore their shared concerns regarding psychoanalysts’ engagement with the more-than-human, underscoring the need for psychoanalysts to transcend both in theory and practice the privilege and exceptionalism attributed to the ‘human’ subject, along with its resulting biopolitical and ecological violence. Writing to and with each other about subjects such as climate data and computational technologies, temporality and virtuality, other-than-human animals and environments, the panelists take up ideas that co-emerged as they thought together, continually influencing and supporting each other. Offering personal and clinical moments, the panelists also draw on anti- Black racism theory, feminist, queer and trans studies, critical media studies, indigenous studies and ecological criticism, both placing these within past, present, and future psychoanalytic contexts, and demonstrating the importance of studying writings outside psychoanalysis that nonetheless deeply resonate with its potentialities.
