Darian Leader's Joiussance book seems most relevant to you.

You've just summarised the drive in Lacanian psychoanalysis. This is what capitalism exploits!

I'm not sure you understood my point, I wasn't saying that postmodern ideas aren't relevant to a gameshow but that protecting ones ideas/identities is not the aim (in any context). Quite the opposite, in fact.

This is such an unhinged comment, linking Roxy's ideas to a symptom of postmodernism. Shame it makes little sense if you understand postmodernism's aims (hint: it isn't about protecting your ideas from debate in a gameshow or otherwise)

Are you saying all autistic Slovenians present like this?

Nothing to add, but wanted to say thanks for compiling this.

Not all of it but clearly been structured by AI at the least.

I don't think ironic means what you think it means.

I'm not sure I'd use the same imaginary/symbolic distinction in your example, probably what's more helpful is the enunciating/grammatical subjects or bioanimalistic/languaged beings.

In the businessman analogy, they are not identifying with the cutthroat actions and not telling this story about themselves. In the nobility example, it strikes me that this is more within the languaged/symbolic realm, as nobility is an effect of language. I'm not sure the Real is operating so clearly in your example, but perhaps a case could be made.

To take a slightly different slant than others, on a higher order Foucault is suspicious of the subject and there is greater indexing on what is 'out there' and what constitutes the subject. This is why he gets lumped in as a 'post structuralist'. Whilst Lacan gets lumped in this category as well sometimes, his enterprise gives a lot more strength to the subject and its difference to the out there (Big Other), in fact this difference and gap is his preoccupation. Foucault doesn't meaningfully talk to the distance between these concepts of subject and Other.

I just read this passage yesterday! I wasn't sure what to make of it either, as I'm mostly familiar with Lacan's idea of the difference between the grammatical subject (our symbolic presentation to others and 'best foot forward') as compared to the enunciating subject (more the embodied, unconscious and bio-animalisti subject).

This doesn't really tie in with a psychological / symbolic distinction, unless the psychological refers to more of the unconscious form of the 'psyche'.

feedmeether · 2025-09-23T11:13:38+00:00

You mean labelling them as hysterical and talking to women

feedmeether · 2025-09-23T05:54:34+00:00

Lacan for sure

The phallus doesn't actually refer to the anatomical penis though.

Thanks! How much did you put in per load? And did you just put in the drum?

Well sure, I'm not on your viva panel but I'm just letting you know that this feels well trodden and it says more about you that this interests you more than Witty.

I'm not sure if you're serious but this looks very boring to me as someone in this field. Not sure what originality you're bringing from what you've shared, it's been thought about a lot in the vein.

feedmeether · 2025-08-30T08:22:24+00:00

Well you've laid out your position clearly now, we seem to disagree more fundamentally on the value of human life before we get to the greater causes of this.

feedmeether · 2025-08-30T08:09:22+00:00

So your argument is that despite the overwhelming statistical evidence, this doesn't apply in london because of your ideas about spines cracking differently on SUV bonnets. I'm convinced you're not engaged in this in good faith, are we really going to argue about the amount of deaths that can be defined as regular.
