“I have listened to and deeply appreciated at least half of these podcast episodes, and am always grateful for the reflection they provoke. Although I wish I was writing purely to express these thanks (I guess a complaint or a critique is always an easier motivation to reach out), I have to express some disappointment that in the Unconscious (lacanian aphorisms) episode the unconscious processes of metaphor and metonymy were given such short shrift.
As a psychoanalytically-oriented therapist who reads Lacan mostly as a resource for therapeutic conceptualization and technique, it so clear to me that these processes are quite predominantly (if not exclusively) what Lacan is referring to with his aphorism “the unconscious is structured like a language.” I appreciated the interesting directions you guys took the episode in, but so would have appreciated a more sustained dialogue about metaphor and metonymy, which are the processes that underlie dream and symptom formation, and whose analysis is one of the primary techniques of psychoanalytic practice. This may just be where the clinical and the theoretical approaches to Lacan part ways. I’d like to they think they shouldn’t have to though. Thank you for your guys’ work.”
