Jeanne Randolph

Jeanne Randolph (born 1943) is a cultural critic, author, performance artist and psychiatrist whose work explores the relationship between art and psychoanalytic theory.[1] She was the first writer in Canada to develop Object Relations psychoanalytic theory as a medium for cultural criticism.[2] In universities and galleries across Canada, England, Australia and Spain she has spoken on topics ranging from the aesthetics of Barbie dolls to the philosophy of Wittgenstein.[3]

Books

Dr. Jeanne Randolph is the author of Shopping Cart Pantheism (2015), Joanne Todd (1989, currently out of print),[4] Psychoanalysis & Synchronized Swimming and Other Writings on Art (1991),[5] Symbolism and its Discontents (1997),[6] Why Stoics Box (2006)[7] and Ethics of Luxury: Materialism and Imagination (2007),[8] and co-author of Semble: Lyn Carter, Ginette Legaré & Jeannie Thib.[9] She has contributed essays to books about art and artists including Subconscious City,[10] Susan Kealey: Ordinary Marvel[11] and Robbin Deyo: Sweet Sensation[12] among others.

Performances

Randolph's lectures evolved into performances that have been presented in venues including the Dunlop Art Gallery's Space Camp (2000),[13] the Banff Centre for the Arts (2004) and Gallery 1.1.1 (2008).[2] They have been described as, "extemporaneous soliloquies [that] illuminate and interpret traditional academic pedagogy, enacting criticism as a dynamic psychoanalytic and philosophical contribution to cultural objects".[2]

gollark: It was very elegant. I combinated™ it in a few lines of code.
gollark: It went nicely and I had a cool parser and all until it turned out that we were accidentally pushing to the wrong end of a list or something in a stupidly hard to debug way.
gollark: Fun times, that was. We were using JS to implement that weird stacky language.
gollark: Oh, like our interpreter race.
