Dylan Lackey is an instructor and PhD candidate in Virginia Commonwealth University’s transdisciplinary Media, Art, and Text program. Their research addresses the space between Lacanian psychoanalysis, Black insurgent philosophy, and contemporary queer and trans art theory. Currently, Dylan is working on a manuscript considering the post-war German artist Anselm Kiefer’s 2023 visual adaptation of James Joyce’s ‘Finnegans Wake’ and the effects of encountering this exhibition alongside new readings of Lacan’s 23rd Seminar. Their existing writing can be found in TOPIA, Critical Humanities, InVisible Culture, and elsewhere.
