We were watching the queen and I told my BF see this is why the prime minister offended Nesser by speaking proper arabic to him ... We listened to the last lecture

[@saddlebut17]

Clearly psychoanalysis wasn't sensitive to gender and cultural considerations... The main point as a modern psychologist I feel is like you said is that it is an abnormal and traumatic experience and understanding it as such comprehends them with empathy rather than pathology.

Well, on the gender matter, you might check out one of of Freud's students, Lou Andreas Salome.

@@GregoryBSadler any suggestion on the application of Fanon's psychoanalytic approach to the modern-day Islamophobia? I'm a PhD (English lit) student struggling with it nowadays. The lecture was great. I just subscribed to your chanell and I will continue it watching on other subjects too. I'm waiting for your message.

[@wahidmardan]

You may also share your suggestion, please.

[@GregoryBSadler]

@@wahidmardan Not sure what you're asking. Could you take Fanon's ideas and apply them to Islamophobia? Some of them perhaps yes, some of them perhaps not. That sounds like a good critical project for someone else to develop

[@wahidmardan]

@@GregoryBSadler Thanks. Yes, I think so too. I feel like Fanon's ideas on racial neurosis (also projection and introjection if there is some discussion of it in his work), his views on colonial violence and decolonization could be used to theoretically support a discussion on Islamophobia. Please comment if I am wrong, and do suggest if there are some psychoanalytical concepts, which I'm missing, and which you feel could be of more use to critically analyze Islamophobia. I will appreciate it.
