Sophocles: Tragedy and the Limits of Knowledge
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ Online Classroom
What kinds of knowledge can be found in the fraught space between insight and taboo, between enlightenment and horror?

Building on French and Latin American heterodox thought and maturing in the cradle of the social and national revolutions of the 20th century (from China to Egypt, Ghana, and Cuba), Amin’s life experience led him to re-think Marxism from and for the periphery.

Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ Online Classroom

Preoccupied by the new challenges of democratic politics, Keynes rejected earlier radical vocabularies of freedom and popular power. His innovation, which is not captured by treating him simply as an economist, was to design a new art of government with ‘the economy’...

The Death Drive: Psychoanalysis and Self-Destruction
Brooklyn Institute for Social Research @ Online Classroom
“The aim of all life,” observed Sigmund Freud in 1920, “is death.” A century later, the so-called Death Drive remains perhaps the most controversial, misunderstood, and ominously relevant of all the intellectual legacies of Freudian psychoanalysis. Freud first formulated the idea of a Death Drive (or Death Instinct) to grapple with nightmares both figurative and literal: The carnage of World War I, which represented a bloody rebuttal...
