SUMMARY:Race as Screen: The Iridescent Allure of the Lacanian Real
DESCRIPTION:Race as Screen: The Iridescent Allure of the Lacanian Real\nSheldon George in discussion with Andrea Fassolas and Anshu Srivastava \nChair: Jonathan Ridley (psychoanalytic psychotherapist) \nSaturday 28th June 2025 \n3:00pm – 5:30pm BST \nOnline seminar £12 – £24 \n \nThis is the next instalment in the series of seminars on Decolonising Psychoanalysis\, organised by the Race and Culture Committee of the Guild of Psychotherapists. The series is intended to open up conversations about psychoanalysis by initiating dialogues between academics and psychotherapists\, bringing clinical responses to the academic decolonial work. In this seminar\, Sheldon George continues his celebrated work on the Lacanian analysis of race and racism in the United States. \nAbout this seminar\nThis talk will present the traumatic past of slavery as an upsurge of the Lacanian Real. It will move through Lacan’s definition of the Real by engaging central understandings presented by Lacan in his seminar on the Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis. Here Lacan presents the Real as a traumatic core\, an excluded center of our being\, an unspeakable impossibility that burns with an alluring iridescence that consumes our subjectivity. Through a reading of Fanon and discussion of race in the US\, the talk will present race as based\, not on visibility or physical difference\, but on an effort psychically to mediate the subject’s relation to this all-consuming Lacanian Real. The talk will read race as a screen to the Real\, a shield that both protects us from and binds us to the illuminated trauma of the racial past. \nSpeakers’ Biographies\nSheldon George is Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Massachusetts\, Boston. His scholarship centres most directly on Lacanian psychoanalytic theory and applies cultural and literary theory to analyses of American and African American literature and culture. He is the author of Trauma and Race: A Lacanian Study of African American Racial Identity (2016) and co-editor\, with Jean Wyatt\, of Reading Contemporary Black British and African American Women Writers: Race\, Ethics\, Narrative Form (Routledge\, 2020) and Experimental Subjectivities in Global Black Women’s Writing: Race and Narrative Innovation (Bloomsbury\, 2024). Lacan and Race: Racism\, Identity and Psychoanalytic Theory is co-edited with Derek Hook (Routledge\, 2021). \nAndrea Fassolas is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist based in South London. She is a member of The College of Psychoanalysts and The Guild of Psychotherapists\, where she trained and teaches on its short courses and main training.
