Podcast: Why Theory (LS 50 · TOP 0.5% what is this?)
Episode: Retroactivity
Pub date: 2021-11-27

Ryan and Todd explore the concept of retroactivity or Nachträglichkeit from its development in Hegel's philosophy to its pivotal status as the basis for freedom in Slavoj Zizek's thought. In between, they discuss how Freud, Lacan, and Laplanche each deploy this central theoretical concept and trace its political implications.
