In The Interlocutor, S. Alfonso Williams takes the reader on an immersive journey through his unique blend of psychoanalysis, philosophy, and politics. His poetic style has a rhythm that breathes life into these all too often dry and dusty theoretical disciplines. His work is undeniably vibrant and vital. As an independent scholar, Williams brings an idiosyncratic point of view distinctive to his person, subjectivity, and location. By reflecting on relevant autobiographical and socio-cultural elements, Williams is able to speak more broadly to cross-cultural issues that affect both the individual and the global, the universal and the particular. His contribution to the current discourse is thought-provoking and inspiring, while at the same time his intervention as interlocutor is essential.
”I’ve been waiting for a flexible bridge to and between philosophy and analysis set squarely (and not a little mischievously) on the backs of their own rigid structures. I’ve been waiting for The Interlocutor.” – Andrew McLuhan, founder of The McLuhan Institute
”If philosophy and theory are going to survive in our intellectually barren cultural hellscape, we need exceptional thinkers who can cut through the malaise and bring concepts to life in dynamic and three-dimensional ways. SAW is one of those thinkers.” – Isabel Millar, author of The Psychoanalysis of Artificial Intelligence
”The Interlocutor by S. Alfonso Williams is a lucid text that captures the raw ideas of its author in an engaging style reminiscent of the Surrealist technique of automatic writing. The text can be read in any order, rendering it akin to a dictionary or encyclopedia – one meant to be subjective rather than objective. Vanessa Sinclair’s sublime cut-out illustrations complement the text but also punctuate it in a contrapuntal fashion. As such, this work is not only the theoretical musings of a brilliant mind but also an aesthetic experience for the senses, which takes the reader on an abstract journey of free associations within their unconscious.” – Robert K. Beshara, author of A Psychoanalytic Biography of Ye: The Legacy of Unconditional Love
