Lacan's Whore House

In the organism and in the global metabolism of an organism, language isolates organs and gives them their functions. One may sometimes even be aware of this in childhood. For example, I have a memory like this: when one is a child, and ill, and the adult asks you questions to find out, “What’s wrong with you?”, “Do you feel sick?”, “Does your liver hurt?”, “Does your stomach hurt?” How can the child from the start reply to such a question, given that the child may be able to localise a stomach on the surface, but as for the liver and the heart, what are they for a child coming into language? It is only once he has truly succeeded in framing this language and slipping into it, that he will be able to reply, “I feel sick.” [Literally, “My heart hurts.”] And it happens that for a long time he gets confused. So this fragmentation, which is taken to be a vexatious fragmentation of the image, is correlative to the functional working of the signifying body. You can see the corollary of this, precisely Freud’s thesis that Lacan denies the truth of: that is, “anatomy is destiny”. (S. Freud, “The dissolution of the Oedipus complex”). He says this, obviously, when speaking of the anatomy that differentiates the sexes: man or woman.

Colette Soler, The Body in the Teaching of Jacques Lacan (1995)

It is Freud’s thesis, but it is not Lacan’s. For Lacan, anatomy is not destiny. Destiny is discourse. This is so true that, in effect, Lacan’s entire re-working of the Oedipus, in particular in “L’Etourdit”, is to say that sex is not anatomical. He is saying that man or woman is an affair of the subject and it depends on the way in which each individual inscribes him/herself within the phallic function. And it has to be said that the increase, not only of those we call transsexuals but, correlatively, of surgical procedures for transsexuals, which consist of operating on them, I would say, really, makes of this Lacanian thesis, which, at the outset may seem startling, a phenomenon. The choice of one’s sex is not a function of anatomy. Obviously, that leaves open the question of what role anatomy does play.

“When we suffer anguish we return to early childhood because that is the period in which we first learnt to suffer the experience of total loss.

It was more than that.

It was the period in which we suffered more total losses than in all the rest of our life put together.”
John Berger 5/Nov/1926-2/Jan/2017

"The denazification of Germany is a myth. It never took place. There was a continuation of money and power from Nazi Germany to West Germany, and also, to an extent, in East Germany, because former SS officers became high-ranking Stasi and party officials. But it was far more pervasive in West Germany, where — in whatever part of society, whether business, legal, medical, academic, or media — there was no denazification."

“I desire the other as desiring, and when I say ‘as desiring’, I did not even say, I deliberately did not say ‘as desiring me’: because it is I who desire, and desiring desire, this desire could only be desire for me if I rediscover myself at this turning point where of course I am, namely if I love myself in the other, in other words if it is myself that I love.”

dril doxxed seven years ago

I have lived nearly fifty years, and I have seen life as it is. Pain, misery, hunger ... cruelty beyond belief. I have heard the singing from taverns and the moans from bundles of filth on the streets. I have been a soldier and seen my comrades fall in battle ... or die more slowly under the lash in Africa. I have held them in my arms at the final moment. These were men who saw life as it is, yet they died despairing. No glory, no gallant last words ... only their eyes filled with confusion, whimpering the question, "Why?"

I do not think they asked why they were dying, but why they had lived. When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!

“The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled. Each evening we see the sun set. We know that the earth is turning away from it. Yet the knowledge, the explanation, never quite fits the sight.”

Master Hegel taught: Everything that exists only exists because it also does not exist, that is to say because it comes into being and disappears. Becoming entails being and not being, as does disappearing. Becoming changes into disappearing and disappearing into becoming. The disappearing thing becomes another thing, in the becoming thing another disappears. So there is no tranquility in things, nor in their observers. Even when speaking, you, the speaker, are changing, and what you speak about is also changing. But if there is also something old in every new thing, we can still speak well enough about new and old things. Those who apply the Great Method properly do not speak unclearly but more clearly. Master Hegel said: Things are occurrences. Conditions are processes. Events are transitions.

Nabokov on Don Quixote:

“He has ridden for three hundred and fifty years through the jungles and tundras of human thought—and he has gained in vitality and stature. We do not laugh at him any longer. His blazon is pity, his banner is beauty. He stands for everything that is gentle, forlorn, pure, unselfish, and gallant. The parody has become a paragon.”
