Red Library: A Political Education Podcast for Today's Left

What IS Sex? (Pt. 1)


Listen Later

Part of Red Library's Real Late Night Philosophy Hourz Series

Comrade Commissar Alex and I work through a most intriguing and challenging work of philosophical and Lacanian psychoanalysis by Alenka Zupancic called What IS Sex?

 For part 1, we talk about the psychoanalytic view on the relationship between sex and gender, partial drives, Christianity, sexuality and capitalism, democracy, class struggle, and SO MUCH MORE. We also cancel Nature and science in this one.

STRAP IN AND STRAP ON, COMRADES.
