The fifth episode of Avital Ronell's Survival Kit for the Anguished, recorded the day after confinement was lifted in France.

In this episode, Avital Ronell focuses on mortality and the community, on what we have learned and what meaning implies. Through an exploration of language and its declensions, she shows how some actions - such as teaching - can change radically depending on the type of language used. Teaching can be as instructive (the teacher) as threatening ("I'll teach you a lesson"), an example which illustrates the double nature of language theorised by Heidegger, simultaneously limiting and socialising.

Les Rencontres Philosophiques de Monaco hope you enjoy this fifth edition of the Survival Kit for the Anguished.
