Faceless Blackness: A Psychoanalytic Investigation of Racism
Drawing on Jacques Lacan and Frantz Fanon, Sheldon George reads American racial whiteness as a fantasy that “sutures symbolic and imaginary registers of experience.” Dennis Plant responds with Lacanian accounts of jouissance and repetition to examine how racism forms and endures, and Eben Lasker moderates. The panel aims to keep the theory accessible to newcomers to Lacan. Two CE credits are offered.
