Mark Tobey, Sharp Field
The Porno-Techno-Scientific Discourse
Discerning that the master in Lacan’s four discourses is patriarchal and commands the subject to enjoy surplus jouissance, this seminar will take a careful gaze at the capitalist discourse as regressively matriarchal. Conjoining Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, topology, semiotics, and the exodus of the joke, this presentation will examine leading signifiers in Western culture; namely, pornography, technology and science.
Discretion advised: this seminar will contain nude images related to Cantarini’s collaboration and curatorship with artist Pablo Corral Vega.

Dates & Times: Friday, 23 September, 2022 from 2:00-4:30 PM Pacific Time
