Lacan PDF

Post by atreestump »



Just found this Routledge Critical Thinkers book about Lacan, maybe it will come in handy for Derrida in particular.

Think I will start on this. The Real, Symbolic and Imaginary is something I want to understand.

This is about Jacques Lacan, the French Psychoanalyst.

Yes I know. My statement had to do with symbolism and psychology and particularly his in relation to Freud's work as well. I know it may have appeared too esoteric or too silly but actually was meant to stimulate interest. Since I have lots of trouble posting links though I can't show all the back up for my simple statement or how many levels of relevant meaning there was in relation to Lacan and his important and inspiring writing as well as the work of Freud.

I see, never heard that term before. I thought you were saying 'Lycanthropy', some stuff to do with vampires or werewolves lol

Yes, Lacan is highly influenced by Freud and starts with a 'return to Freud'.

Can you PM @"Ontical" to explain the technical problems you are having? Send a screenshot if you can.

I don't know how to do that or even take a screenshot on my phone. Check out if any of these guys wrote about werewolves themeatically and therianthropy and metamorphosis and transformation and you may find some really interesting work and writing by Freud and its references and uses by Lacan. The idea of the werewolf was a big thing in both Germany and France and had an influence on writers in Economy, Psychiatry, Psychology, Politics as well as the term vampire but with eventually differing uses but both were frequently used or mentioned, even in the writings or Marx and as a major theme in Man Into Wolf or whatever this one book was called.

Lacan and other Freudian theorists were interested in aspects such as Batesian Mimicry and aspects of the uncanny as well as deviance related to the Wolf Man or Werewolf motif from history and in the popular culture.

Vampires were the villification of greedy landlords.

I will bear all of this in mind, all sounds like transformation and the 'monstrous arrivant' to me at the moment.

I have an LG Stylo. Thank you! Yeah Lacan and Freud are mentioned in some academic papers and books regarding various gothic inspired themes and phraseology. For Lacan one important idea was gaze and relational transformation and he had really interesting ideas about structure and personhood. Freud had some awesome ideas that inspired Lacan greatly but one area that interested many Freudians was fear and transference or replacement of themeatic bodies. So one of these areas was the uncanny and another was the bestial.

Press and hold the Power key and Volume Down key. When the screenshot flashes, release both keys.

Yes, that has been the subject matter of the first chapter on the imaginary order and mirror phase. Feminism took up the gaze as masculine.

Freud had some awesome ideas that inspired Lacan greatly but one area that interested many Freudians was fear and transference or replacement of themeatic bodies. So one of these areas was the uncanny and another was the bestial.

Freud is seriously underrated and given a really bad press. I think the establishment of 'Freudians' should be differentiated from Freud himself.

Lacan takes on a phenomenological subject that he sees as different from the ego.
