In the early twentieth century, psychoanalytic ideas based on the work of Sigmund Freud were taken up, translated, and even challenged by practitioners from a variety of geographic regions and backgrounds. However, the importance of psychoanalytic thought in China has not always been given adequate attention.

In this podcast, Howard Chiang (NHC Fellow, 2021–22), associate professor of history at the University of California, Davis, discusses how tracking the emergence and adaptation of psychoanalysis in China allows us to understand the effects of cultural and disciplinary exchange on emerging intellectual discourses. By examining China’s influence on psychoanalysis, we can tell a better and more global story about the origins of this field of study.

Unofficial estimates are much higher, and the exact number will never be known. Historian JP Daughton speaks to Elinor Evans about his new book on the arduous 13-year project led by French colonisers in equatorial Africa, in the wake of the First World War.

Philosophy scholar and author Willow Verkerk sits down with Am Johal to discuss Nietzsche and his ideas of friendship, as well as her current work on the Gendered Mimesis project at KU Leuven.

Willow compares Nietzsche’s more agonistic notion of friendship with other philosophers like Aristotle, Kant, Derrida – and draws from Luce Irigaray to consider friendship from a more gendered lens. Willow also speaks about her creative writing in the past as a form of expression, and discusses her current work on Gendered Mimesis Project, from which she is looking to trace the genealogies of gendered-being by drawing from Adriana Cavarero, Judith Butler, and Catherine Malabou.

Cinematic legend and icon Jean-Luc Godard died at age 91 recently, so it was apt that Dr Andrew McGregor returned to delve deeply into the life and legacy of the revolutionary auteur.

Andrew and Amy discuss the nouvelle vague movement that originated in the late 1950s into the 1960s in France and Godard's prominent place within it. They explore the innovative film-making techniques and artistic genius that distinguished Godard's work from others and transformed cinema forever. They also highlight and discuss a range of his most loved films.

Amy and Andrew share their top 5 favourite Godard films for listeners to look into at their own pace or interest!

Amy: Opération béton (1958), Une femme est une femme (1961), Vivre sa vie (1962), Alphaville (1965), Masculin Féminin (1966).

Andrew: À Bout de Souffle (1960), Le Mépris (1963), Pierrot le fou (1965), Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'elle (2 or 3 Things I Know About Her) (1967), Histoire(s) du cinéma (1988).

Dr Andrew McGregor is Senior Lecturer in French Studies at the School of Languages and Linguistics, The University of Melbourne.

ACMI in Melbourne is showing six Godard films as part of their Goodbye to Godard program from 22 September to 16 October 2022.
