Bracha L. Ettinger: Out of the 'Fear' Matrix

Posted by R.Michael Fisher on February 11, 2023 at 10:39am

There's really no other theorist like Bracha L. Ettinger, when it comes to figuring out the way--beyond the 'Fear' Matrix (i.e., what she calls the "phallic field" as the "paranoid" (Thanatos or Death Drive) predominant orientation of the psyche in today's culture).

This post-Lacanian artist-psychoanalyst and theorist has had a profound impact on my thinking and Barbara's since 2009 or so. Check out her talk if you want to go deep... into the Feminine (a la Matrixial).
