Jonah Hill’s Stutz vs. Lacan - The Young Žižekians critique Therapism and Ego Psychology with psychoanalysis
Young Žižekians take on Jonah Hill's brand new Netflix documentary "Stutz." This film focuses on the life and psycho-therapeutic techniques of Jonah Hill's therapist, Phil Stutz. In this video, we approach the content of his techniques as well as the film's depiction of the relationship between doctor and patient from a Lacanian perspective.
More broadly, we tackle the phenomenon of "therapism" (or "therapy culture") while bringing to light the unspoken class dynamic underlying the message of the film.
By "we" I mean Dave (Pleeb) of Theory Underground, Mikey of The Dangerous Maybe, Nick (FreeBeerTmrw) and Andrew (Master_Signified_Bodies) both of Que Vuoi. To see the video version, go to their channel Que Vuoi on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO4ztWebQEE
