PARAPRAXIS issue 7: ROMANCE

The heart can be fickle, indulgent. But in the heavy boots of our undesirable present, seized by colliding catastrophes, we ask: how do we get out of here? Can the math of desire break us free?

A spread of a fancy red magazine reading APOCALYPSE LATER

Reading Peter Coviello on ON THE BEACH in the newish Parapraxis, remembering me in 8th grade doing a presentation on this very novel, because, you know, Reagan and evangelical eschatology made it all very current.

Cling to that Strangeness — Parapraxis On The Third Reich of Dreams Sarah Dowling

NBCC member Sarah Dowling reviewed Damion Searls' new translation of Charlotte Beradt's "The Third Reich of Dreams: Nightmares of a Nation" for Parapraxis:

P&rapraxis (Parapraxis) magazine, which features a full page cover photo of an open field that is being invaded by the shadowy figures or riot police in tactical gear (one figure, who may not be a police-soldier, runs out of frame)

always astonishing work from @parapraxismag.bsky.social

Cling to that Strangeness — Parapraxis On The Third Reich of Dreams Sarah Dowling

I wrote about Damion Searls’s new translation of The Third Reich of Dreams for @parapraxismag.bsky.social

I 1st learned about this book in an announcement for a poetry workshop. It’s a strange & surprising testament to the creativity of ordinary people.

As psychoanalytic and psychological institutions capitulate to the project of fascism once more, we hear a chorus calling resistance an epistemic break rather than a response to one. We can see this in the neat pathologies that have been circulated and applied to Palestinian militants—as psychotic—and we also see it in the hiving off of anti-Zionist Jews as self-hating. We see it in the very premise that to work to know the world as it is is anti-psychoanalytic; an insult hurled for a hundred years from the right flank of the practice towards the left.

Witnessing this capitulation by psychoanalytic/psychological institutions – along with the 'neat' pathologisation of Palestinian militants – fills me with unrelenting rage. I've written something on this, that I hope might be published soon.

Thank you for writing this, @parapraxismag.bsky.social
