17:00 (5 pm) - Office Hours w/Professor Adnan Husain
Dr. Lara Sheehi, radical psychoanalyst and author w/Stephen Sheehi of Psychoanalysis under Occupation, joins Adnan for a discussion of what our friends at Resistance is Fertile, @resistanceisfertile7, call the psychological support front for the resistance. How do we understand resistance to colonialism psychically? How can we build on Fanon’s theories to better empower resistance? What practices can support and sustain militancy in the resistance and its broad support? What is psychic militancy? How do we deal with the feelings and experience of shock, horror, despondency, despair that demobilize us in the face of brutal war crimes and genocide in Gaza; the inculcated feelings of inevitability of the corrupt, oppressive system of neoliberal capitalism that inculcate passivity, isolation, atomization and anomie; the psychological warfare of consumer capitalism and its media or avoid the deceits of liberal normativity, all of which suppress our empowerment and action? How can psychic militancy prevent us from adjusting to a bankrupt reality but rather to see the opportunities for change, action, and solidarity as a meaningful struggle individually and collectively for a just world?

I would like to invite everyone to join me for the mystery crime/comedy series, Poker Face. A Columbo inspired drama.
A mystery-of-the-week series following Charlie Cale, who has an extraordinary ability to determine when someone is lying. She hits the road in her Plymouth Barracuda and with every stop encounters a new cast of characters and strange crimes she can’t help but solve. Guest stars are plentiful throughout, from Ellen Barkin and Adrien Brody to Luis Guzmán and Chloë Sevigny. An inverted detective series, also known as a “howcatchem” and popularized by “Columbo,” the crime and perpetrator are shown at the beginning of each episode, and follows Charlie as she tries to solve the mystery.
