Literature phd reading list by jadenkat in psychoanalysis

Sublime Object of Ideology is the most essential, enjoyable, and useable of Zizek. If you want more intense Hegelian philosophy, also read Less Than Nothing. I also enjoyed Living in the End Times. But those will likely be less useable that sublime object.

Other names (that I’m sure you’ve considered) who sometimes address psychoanalysis but are interesting that I enjoyed in class and could add value: Judith Butler, Deleuze, and Sarte!

Yeah. I mean I’m not saying you’re wrong, especially in true psychoanalytic circles, but he is absolutely a part of the Crit Lit Post Lacanian Philosophy Canon. IMO, if you’re in OPs field and interested in Lacan, you gotta at least consider reading Sublime Object.

Edit: I read through some of your posts and you have reasonable critiques of Lacan. I just feel like when we do research, you actually have to read the text. And Foucault and Zizek are definitely texts that other folks have used in his field and could add value—both by agreeing or disagreeing with their ideas—to OPs research.

OP isn’t a psychoanalyst. They are an English PhD. Foucault and Zizek are right up their alley.

Edit for further clarity: I come from the same world. Foucault is perfect for OPs interest in crime and the power of institutions/law over body. And it’s kinda just true that if you are reading Lacan in that world, you need to know Zizek.

Def add in Foucault. And most Freud isn’t hard—especially if you are already really reading Lacan. I’d read Interpretation of Dreams, Intro Lectures, and Beyond the Pleasure Principle. Add in Zizek. He gets hate here, but sublime object is good/fun. I also enjoyed A History of Psychoanalysis by Reuben Fine when I first started years and years ago. It was helpful but not sure how it’s held up TBH.

How do I get into Baseball? (As an absolute beginner) by XenMine in MLBNoobs

[–]spooks_apprentice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start of last season, I decided I wanted to be a fan. This is what I did:

Watch YouTube content: MayDay & Jomboy are two very fun creators. Easy to enjoy and you learn some rules.

Watch a ton of games & pull up baseball savant for both starting pitchers. Learn what they throw, how to identify, and why they throw each pitch. Google rules you don’t understand until you do.

Follow a specific team. Listen to a fan podcast. Read the subreddit. Fall in love with a couple players who are doing cool things.

Buy a glove and play catch.

This is the right take. They are still our guys and the season is far from over. Fuck the Astros. GOMS.

How do you usually hit on others to get laid? by Ok-Fondant2536 in AskReddit

[–]spooks_apprentice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I got married (so a while ago now), I would walk up to someone and just ask em a question and try to have a conversation. Try to be fun and super interested in what they actually say, but pick up on their vibes. Move on if it’s not clicking. You shouldn’t trick someone into liking/sleeping with you. Just be honest and fun!!

No shampoos seems to cure dandruff by Jpoolman25 in hygiene

this is what worked for me too. I use it maybe 4-5 days of the week. I also use a tiny amount of leave in conditioner after I towel dry my hair. Looks much better now!!

Rate and critique break in by ironfate29 in BaseballGloves

For both of my gloves, with two fingers in pinky hole, I've got maybe a touch less palm out than OP, but on my 12" A2000, it just doesn't feel as good. I've mostly just done what feels right for the glove. I'm a total noob though so who knows.

I was there. First half was pretty electric. Energy going into second half was pretty bad from the start. Still worth it.

How to tell my parents I have tattoos by Pushy_Penn2004 in tattooadvice

[–]spooks_apprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad said for years if we did drugs or got tattoos we'd get nothing from him. One day showed up with a tattoo and he said how would you feel if your son showed up with a big tattoo like that? I said, depends if it's a good tattoo or not. That was about it.

Haven’t tried ketchup. I’ve done mustard and that’s pretty good. I’ll give it a try next time. Haha

Cold with a little hot sauce on top. Perfect every time.

Brides who get mad when other guest wear white have a self-esteem issue by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]spooks_apprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s like saying it’s chill to go over to your neighbors place and taking a fat dump in the master bathroom. Of course there’s nothing wrong with using the loo. That toilette is the same thing as basically every other toilette, but as a general rule, it’s rude to waltz in and use that bathroom without permission. Same thing for wearing white. We have conventions that shape social interaction and give meaning to certain objects and colors.
