UnLivable Cultures

How can psychoanalysis support the flourishing of queer and trans life in light of the discipline’s contested history and present? Why is it preferable to understand gender as a process of becoming instead of something that is a preprogrammed part of the self? In this interview from July 2024, Clayton speaks with Dr. Ann Pellegrini and Dr. Avgi Saketopoulou about their book Gender Without Identity and how their ideas and their psychoanalytic practice seeks to answer these questions. Avgi Saketopoulou is a psychoanalyst in private practice in NYC, and a member of the faculty at New York University's Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis. She is also the author of Sexuality Beyond Consent: Risk, Race, Traumatophilia from the Sexual Cultures Series, NYU Press. Ann Pellegrini is Professor of Performance Studies & Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University, and a practicing psychoanalyst. Their books include Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis, Staging Race and Love the Sin: Sexual Regulation and the Limits of Religious Tolerance (coauthored with Janet R. Jakobsen). Clayton Jarrard⁠ is a graduate student at New York University's XE: Experimental Humanities & Social Engagement program and works at the University of Kansas Center for Research, contributing to initiatives at the nexus of research, policy implementation, and community efforts.  If you like Un/Livable Cultures, share with your friends, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon or leaving us a review!

How is suicide an issue of justice? How should our care for people experiencing suicidality  connect with the Land and Water in which people live? What does it mean to care for the life of Land and Water as well as the lives of people? Special guest Dr. Jeffrey Ansloos joins us for a conversation about how colonialism features in the creation of unlivable conditions, threatening the well-being of Indigenous and First Nations communities in particular. Jeffrey Ansloos is an Associate Professor of Indigenous Health and Social Policy at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. Prof. Ansloos is a community health, social policy, community psychology, and Indigenous studies scholar, with a global reputation for his research on Indigenous health justice and social and environmental dimensions of mental health, suicide, and houselessness.

It’s obvious that some lives are valued over others, and some commodities are valued more than life. How have these determinations been made? In this episode, we talk about how medical care prioritizes some patients over others—even to the extent of taking some people’s personal ventilators to give to others who were considered to have a greater life expectancy or quality of life—how supply chain issues exacerbated this problem during the pandemic, and what a system may look like that prioritizes people over profit.   If you like ⁠Un/Livable Cultures⁠, share with your friends, consider supporting the podcast on ⁠Patreon⁠, or leaving us a review!

This is a big election year in the US, and legislative sessions across the country are beginning. It’s important to understand how we got here and recognize the patterns of anti-LGBTQ legislators and decision-makers to be strategic in our fight for livable worlds. Since 2022, we have recorded multiple episodes to discuss LGBTQ+ issues in America, but we kept running into a problem: By the time the episodes were ready for release, there was newer information relevant to discuss. And so we recorded a new conversation. Then another. To disrupt this cycle, this episode is a mash-up of three select recordings we had about the state of LGBTQ+ issues and politics in the US. Hear how--over this almost 2 year period--different problems came to the fore, how our views evolved, and how our feelings changed.  If you like Un/Livable Cultures, share with your friends, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, or leaving us a review!

With the growing conversations on student debt, the value of higher education, and the need for livable wages, Dr. Elizabeth Briody joins Un/Livable Cultures to talk about the need for Anthropology and other social sciences to train students for the world outside of academia. Anthropology needs theory, method, and practice in order to be relevant. And as a discipline, anthropology needs to think about the ethics of only priming students for an ever-shrinking job pool of academic positions. De/Instutionalize is a series from Un/Livable Cultures focusing on the ways in which academic cultures are livable and unlivable and how these institutions can participate in regimes of oppression and subjugation. Elizabeth K. Briody is a business anthropologist who has been involved in cultural-change efforts for over 30 years -- first first at General Motors Research and later through her own consulting practice, Cultural Keys. She currently leads Anthropology's Career Readiness Commission along with Riall W. Nolan.  If you like Un/Livable Cultures, share with your friends, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, or leaving us a review! And follow our Twitter @UnlivablePod for updates.

Season 6 of Netflix’s Black Mirror is out, and we reflect on the first three episodes of the new season— from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes to the true crime “obsession” to companies “winking” at social justice.

Unlike any other AP course, AP African American Studies is the most complex course the College Board has produced. And it has also faced an unsurprising barrage of attacks unlike any other AP course. Why is there such a fear of Black Studies? Why do Texas textbooks now refer to enslaved folks as “laborers''? In this episode, Dr. Nishani Frazier discusses the value of Black Studies and how it inspires empathy; spotlights power imbalances and racial hierarchies; and provides pathways to solutions for dealing with racism, exploitation, and inequality. De/Instutionalize is a series from Un/Livable Cultures focusing on the ways in which academic cultures are livable and unlivable and how these institutions can participate in regimes of oppression and subjugation.

If Arthur’s Stone is an important British historical site yet we know very little of its history, why is it only now being excavated for the first time? Could it be that archaeologists knew the damage of excavating spiritually, politically, and/or historically significant sites in other cultures, so they didn’t want to do that at home? This episode deals with some of the politics of archaeology as we grapple with these questions and how anglophilia shrouds settler colonialism, imperialism, and racism. We also venture into the issues of the exoticized and eroticized Other in anthropological displays, media, and portrayals.

Citation is reciprocity. Citation is legitimacy. And citations are the bricks that form the walls of academia. In conversation with special guest Dr. Jessica Falcone and drawing from the incisive critiques of Sara Ahmed, we discuss how writing culture in academia (specifically in the social sciences) encourages white, patriarchal practices and relations—citing white men. How can we be more reflexive and intentional with both writing and citational practices so as not to perpetuate hierarchies and exclusions?  De/Instutionalize is a series from Un/Livable Cultures focusing on the ways in which academic cultures and institutions participate in regimes of oppression and subjugation. Dr. Jessica Falcone is Professor of Anthropology at Kansas State University. She specializes in South Asian and religious studies as well as anthropology of diaspora, transnationalism, futurity/temporality, globalization, and material culture and gift exchange. More info about Jess Falcone: https://www.k-state.edu/sasw/anthropology/about_anthropology/people_anthropology/falcone.html Consider supporting the podcast on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=89403232) or leaving us a review!
