Spaltung
Ich spreche
und höre eine andere Stimme,
die nicht mir gehört.
Zwischen Signifikant und Fleisch
hängt mein Name
wie ein leerer Haken.
Das Begehren kennt mich nicht.
Es benutzt meinen Mund.

#Zizek and the #Lacanian Gaze:

People don't just see the mentally ill or the eccentric - they gaze at them.
Not with empathy, but with the cold, Lacanian stare that says: "You’ve slipped out of the symbolic order. You're not one of us."

It's not dehumanization - it's un-humaning.

I'm spending a lot of time thinking about how psychoanalysis can move a person from being the subject of the unconscious to being able to witness the structures that have determined subjective experience.

Hello there Bluesky. I'm a #Lacanian analyst, university professor, and parent to three kids. (I also like #ProWrestling.) I'm hoping that I'll find interesting people to talk to.
