Topics covered include trauma, political violence, and the memorializations of trauma; how French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan’s concept of “passage à l’acte” can be used to analyze the dissolution of social bonds and the emergence of violence in contemporary societies; and the emergence of necropolitics, necrocapitalism, Afropessimism, and “Lacan noir” on the socio-politico-cultural scene.
