Penumbr(a)cast - The Other Scene
Castration, with Lucie Cantin (Part 1, in French)
This episode (in two parts) discusses a contemporary use of the term castration, introduced by Freud. Cantin distinguishes between imaginary, symbolic, and real castration in relation to different moments of the human individual life and to the psychoanalytic cure, highlighting the relevance of castration as a work that liberates subjects from the cultural montage of sexuality that hijacks unconscious desire.
