Bataille Contra Deleuze: Sadism and Masochism with Tiger Liu

"A sadist and a masochist walk into a podcast, the masochist says
'hurt me', the sadist says 'no'" Our laughter at such a scene
conveys our habitual association between violence and possession,
De Sade and Sacher-Masoch, or to take them in their 20th century
philosophical champions: Georges Bataille and Gilles Deleuze. How
are Sadism and Masochism problems not only of psychology, but
logical problems of philosophy and the limits of reason? How does
the economy of each relation to one's self and the other pose not
only ethical, but political and ecological problems for thought
today? Adam, Craig, and Noah are joined by researcher Tiger Liu,
who recently finished a graduate dissertation on Masochism,
psychoanalysis,  and General Economy to discuss the legacies
of this conjecture, and the new lines of flight that can be
revealed in light of Sacher-Masoch and his legacy.
