In this interview with Dr. Julie Reshe, a pathetic failure, we explore her work in Negative Psychoanalysis for the Living Dead, which contrasts the positive orientation in popular psychology with the negative approach which sees negative space as constitutive of real philosophy, art, and religion. The three main chapters of her work are explored in detail, including the structural role of death, negativity and tragedy in relationship to the individual via destructive plasticity, the social in relation to the way love connects through suffering (love hurts), and finally to nature in relation to the evolution of the monstrous, where new forms of life are birthed through fundamentally meaningless and destructive processes.
