  RU411: MYRIAM SAUER, "EMPTINESS IS THE CURE FOR PSYCHOANALYSIS" – THE QUEERNESS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS 16.07.2026 1h 35min

  RU411: MYRIAM SAUER, "EMPTINESS IS THE CURE FOR PSYCHOANALYSIS" – THE QUEERNESS OF PSYCHOANALYSIS: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com/p/ru411-myriam-sauer-emptiness-is-the Rendering Unconscious is now at Substack: https://renderingunconscious.substack.com Welcome to a very special episode of Rendering Unconscious podcast! As TODAY is the one year anniversary of the inaugural event of RU Center for Psychoanalysis, I have turned the very first RU Center event into an episode of RU POD. Rendering Unconscious episode 411. This episode is the very first event for Rendering Unconscious Center for Psychoanalysis, which celebrates the book The Queerness of Psychoanalysis (2025) and the launch of RU Center. To begin, I outline some of the goals of RU Center for Psychoanalysis, highlighting upcoming courses and events, including my Introduction to Psychoanalysis class. Myriam then presents her chapter, “Emptiness is the Cure for Psychoanalysis,” from The Queerness of Psychoanalysis (2025) in which she looks at the work of Swiss psychoanalyst Danielle Quinodoz, who wrote up an early trans* affirmative case study. Some themes of the discussion that follows include the alienation experienced by trans individuals in the field of psychoanalysis and the potential for transness to challenge rigid norms, gender and otherwise, emphasizing the need for a trans-affirmative psychoanalysis and the importance of questioning societal norms. I am posting this event for everyone as a celebration of the official opening of RU Center for Psychoanalysis! Check out the book: The Queerness of Psychoanalysis: From Freud and Lacan to Laplanche and Beyond (Routledge, 2025). https://amzn.to/44SnL49 News & events: Rendering Unconscious Center for Psychoanalysis is celebrating 1 year!

We explore the intersection of psychoanalysis, magic, and astrology, highlighting the paucity of literature on the intersection of these topics, especially from a non-Jungian lens.

On this episode, Zahid presents his newest book Paranoid Publics: Psychopolitics of Truth, which explores the relationship between truth, power, and the psyche.

The discussion also touches on the challenges of integrating psychoanalysis into political theory and the persistence of group think. Zahid plans to continue exploring such themes in future work, including techno-fascism and impunity. Zahid R. Chaudhary is Associate Professor of English at Princeton University.
