Saturation: Sex Seminars

The word “saturation” has appeared repeatedly in the psychoanalytic work of Duane Rousselle and Mark Gerard Murphy. We shall explore further implications of this concept for religious and sociological thought. How do the late teachings of Jacques Lacan help us to navigate contemporary capitalism, therapy or self-help culture, and mystical or apophatic theology? Join us live once weekly for a total of three weeks with lectures and discussions.
