I read this paragraph so many times in my attempt to understand it that even my computer gave up and fell asleep 😂🤯🫠 #Lacan #PhDlife #philosophy
Gustav Klimt‘s „naked truth“, depicting a naked woman on a globe, held by a hand. To be found in the lower left corner of the painting Pallas Athene (1889).
9. Close-up of Gustav #Klimt |s « naked truth » (nuda veritas), a detail in his painting Pallas Athene (1889), which he painted for the opening exhibition of the radical Secession (which broke away from the established Künstlerhaus). I am of course reminded of #Lacan for whom truth is always veiled.

"In the #Lacan /ian orientation an analysis is not a therapy, it is a technique to produce a de-Otherization of the speaking being, and to awaken from the disease that the unconscious is."

But to force oneself to be “present” in the midsts of the everyday, denies trauma to become part of one’s history. This is what neurotics manage well: they have a capability for “hystorization” as #Lacan called it.To create a hystory of one’s own does more to one’s peace of mind than one might think
From a #Lacan |ian perspective, wanting to “live in the present” is structurally psychotic. A key concept of the self-help mindfulness industry is that of arguing for “presence”. Most famously advocated for by E. Tolle many years ago, but now allover Instagram and beyond…
We know animals / insects communicate, but this reads as if they knew how to use metaphors. How absolutely brutal - and therefore beautiful - to create a long-term relationship (co-dependency) by eating each others WINGS. #Lacan would have worked with this.

#Lacan described #Harpo as having a “face with its #smile which leaves us unclear as to whether it signifies the most extreme #perversity or complete #simplicity.”

Lacan isn't a Neo-Freudian.
He's Freud sharpened into an obsidian blade.
He turns the unconscious into a haunted linguistic engine that speaks through us.
You're not the author of your thoughts, you're where language glitches.

“This idea of #philosophy as the unlimited jouissance of a thought that knows no empirical restraints…” (Ghassan Hage channeling #Lacan although he credits Derrida for this thought - why?!) ✨
When you are at a stage in your academic career at which all that is being said about an author (in my case #Lacan) sounds familiar & begins to sound repetitive, it’s time to go back to the original texts of that author & reread them until you find sth. new that has not been or has been less said…

AI can’t "miss the mark" because it has no mark to miss. My new essay uses Lacan’s "Four Discourses" to explain why we talk to Alexa differently than to each other.

I refrain from anthropomorphization. Although there has been a discussion among some theorists, who also draw on #Lacan, whether LLMs have an unconscious, for example, Lacanians do not attribute (un-)consciousness, desire, jouissance et al to non-human entities. I think it’s important to do so.
Lacan’s graph of desire.
Desire, for #Lacan is always the Other’s desire. It is what keeps us entwined beings, guessing what it is the other wants from me. Needs and demands are satisfiable, desire is not. It should not be, it is what keeps us alive. There would be no love without desire: to give what one does not have!
Jouissance is a term #Lacan sets apart from need, demand and desire. Need refers to the sheer biological necessity (eg. humans need food), demand refers to want (e.g. “I want chocolate!”) and desire is what you get when you subtract need from demand.

There’s one Lacan reference in this Trump-text and it’s on “feigning” which is, however, taken out of context. #Lacan talked about how animals lay false tracks, but can’t “feign feigning”. He did not speak about humans and so I guess the author read Žižek or Derrida,who do, not Lacan #psychoanalysis
Das eigentlich Interessante an der “Verrohung” der Sprache ist die ihr zugrundeliegende Unwirksamkeit der symbolischen Ordnung. Aber das hat #Lacan seit 1960 schon konstatiert - es nimmt nur weiter zu. Psychoanalytisch betrachtet ist #Metaphernsalat das blablabla vaterloser (Funktion!) „Kinder“.
