Logan Collignon | What if the rocket has already landed? | Freud, Cyborgs & the End of the World | F&T#18

Dr Logan Collignon is a writer and senior lecturer in contemporary literature at The University of Sheffield.Logan’s research interests have centred on critical theory and the cold war and have also sought to bring in pop culture from Stanley Kubrick’s films and Stephen King’s writing to Batman and the X-Men.In this discussion we discuss why being “a” human is a “myth”, how our obsession with the apocalypse comes back to Freud, the importance of repetition, Tom Rasmussen, bodybuilding and swimming, why Arnie and Wolverine are important figures to Logan – and why we should still be critical of them – as well as how we might already be living in the end-times.Rocket States: Atomic Weaponry and the Cultural Imagination and The Insectile and the Deconstruction of the Non/Human are both available in print and e-book formats, with the latter available to read for free online at the time of recording:https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mono/10.4324/9781003322757/insectile-deconstruction-non-human-fabienne-collignon____Fitness & ThinkingForget six packs, we’re looking at six pillars to gauge fitness: F&T is interested in the physical, mental, social, spiritual, emotional and financial aspects of being.
