Parlêtre Podcast

Parlêtre is a long-form podcast dedicated to the work of Jacques Lacan. We explore the theoretical and clinical intersections of Lacanian psychoanalysis through free-associative conversation. “Parlêtre” is a neologism coined by Lacan from the French words “parler” (to speak) and “être” (to be). “Parlêtre” thus conveys the meaning of “speaking beings”, signifying the human field of the unconscious and its expression in the function of speech. 

Parlêtre podcast exists as an invocation and enactment of analytic discourse, where we speak from the locus of our own desire and engagement with Lacan’s oeuvre. Parlêtre is an invitation to hear Lacan through the conversation of speaking beings--whether you are a philosopher, student, clinician, or simply curious about what psychoanalysis has to offer to the cipher of our mortal destiny.
