SHORT SESSIONS PREVIEW - SOME TICKLISH SUBJECTS
1Description
LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE HERE!
Alright, we’re back with another Patreon SHORT SESSION and this week Tim is at the shops buying a Tickle Me Elmo and we’re taking a look at some aspects of laughter in a few different ways.
SHORT SESSIONS, variable length sessions, however you wanna put it, in these episodes we’ll wrap them up because of something that is said, rather than the tyranny of the clock.
So what’s so ticklish about the ticklish subject? Can it tickle itself?
We’re talking Žižek’s totalitarian laughter, Adam Phillips on the erotic grammar of tickling, Trump as the David Brent of Empire, Romanian orphanages and Rhesus monkeys, and the dialectic of cringe and tickling.
Whatever you do, don’t google "competitive tickling".
