'Television': What Freud Discovered in the Unconscious

[isaysee]

- everything starts out fine- till the tongue gets in the way of the eyetooth so we can't see what we're saying. - So much 'lost in translation' -- Didn't Freud ever say anything in plain english ? - like, - '' I'm getting credit for discovering what every nursemaid knows'' .

 One of my favorites is when he said to his receptionist- - - '' CAN'T YOU KEEP ALL THESE CRAZY PEOPLE OUT OF MY OFFICE ''

so if the symptom is created by a signiifying chain glued together with joissance, then, to unbind that chain is to "reintroduce the Real", which presumably is the same thing as draining away the joissance that binds the chain that holds the symptom. So how does one "re-introduce the Real"? It makes sense; the "purpose" of a symptom is to "protect" the subject from the Real. So by encountering the Real again, one could perhaps undue the symptom. But I am unclear how one "re-introduces the real".

[2levina]

Profound: the symptom is just a knot of signifiers (I talked myself into it); it has no sense in the Real; it is not 'sense' but Jouiss(e)(a)nce, that is, it so pleases me, it pleases me to have the symptom, it makes me 'somebody'.

[maxvitreus]

horrible translation

[trocolele]

I thought the Spanish Inquisition would come from behind the curtain!

[LichtungNym]

One can give a sexual meaning to everything, even to sex.

[kevin347lee]

for a forward thinking of god watch this man

GOD RECYCLES THE UNIVERSE ANTI-RELIGION

[oldor12]

The subconscious is still the self,therefore nothing different....your personality is what

is being denied....

[Superpureeliteful]

@oldor12 True!,but in Freud's life time, life was much simpler,compared to the problems we have today,Freud's idea's could of worked if it was not for change,it is peoples emotions and feelings that are shaped by the media,by Advertisements,by bad education,by what is in the news papers,or how it is displayed,good and bad,every time mankind changes its laws and ideas,it has an affect on the emotions of future Generations,which results in a Inflated love Bubble of emotions,to a explosion of anger

[vinnynumbnuts]

Aw, to love no more and lay down upon a bed of roses covered in silken flame--untouched, unbloodied thorns burning in the ashes.

[tramtrotter]

mm.. je n'ai pas compris grand chose de ce qu'il a dit..qq1 peu expliquer en deux mots svp? and the translation doesnt quite help either! :S

[eserrur]

wow syntax are you schizophrenic?

[temim4]

pls make sure that the translation is accurate. thank u

[oldor12]

If it's then don't live by it!

[syntax128]

Now, it will take me sometme to think what should I do in the future. Anybody who got such abilities, sms me.

[grrfu]

hmm.. taking time to think of what to do in the future.... it's funny because by the time you think of it the future is there and the circumstances have changed

[syntax128]

nd I know why in old days was easy to hypnotise a person. Now it is impossible. Well, it became much easier to hypnotise somebody these days than before. hahaha, And our dear Phycologists saying opposite. What a dumm asses they are.

[syntax128]

And most amusing thing is that everybody use that as communication between body to body. gggg

[syntax128]

Damn. 10 years.

[syntax128]

And I need no money. It took me 100000000 fucking years. It is priceless.

[syntax128]

Freud where a sex addict. He said that our unknown is obsolute sexuality, but it is not. Sexuality is one of those things which has human unknown. I read Freud for many earrs and couldnt understand how one of his students had obsolite control over anybody. And I can say that eather Freud hidden that truth or just didnt understood the way it is sopose to be. If you know that you can controll any life form beheviour. And I aint telling. fuck all of you!!!!

[damarre7]

very wrong translation

[maruthamarutha]

This is great; Thanks anyway for posting this, but I wonder what the non french speaking get from the english subtitles?? They are many mistakes.

[iggypot]

so the unconscious is a bubdle of sexual knots - memories of pleasure - and the continual gratification of these pleasures ultimatly determine all our conscious behaviors. It is the psyche of a materialist, consumerist, hedonist society. Thus, Freud was quite correct in many ways - like Marx, you cant throw the baby out with the bathwater. Both men have influenced ethics and politics immensely, and therefore will always remain relevant to any modern historical discussion.

[SC88213]

@iggypot I think the knotting refers to the way in which the symbolic, imaginary, and real interrelate.

[mach1man22]

Freud was a fuckin idiot yeah I said it.

[Achilles1389]

In Moses and Monotheism(1939)New York:Vintage: Freud repeatedly attacks Christianity while promoting the spiritual supremacy of the Jewish people. Quote: "The people happy in their conviction of possessing the truth overcome by the conciousness of being the chosen,came to value highly all intellectual and ethical acheivements.The Christian religion did not keep to the lofty heights of spirituality to which the jewish religion had soared

[SinGinPUA]

Well look at the vast intellectual achievement of the Hebrews, and also to the mysticism that perhaps resonates today with postmodern descriptions of a fragmented self aware of the unfathomable thread that sutures its reality. Christian scholarship has always been excessively suppressed.

[formless777]

So the Jews are racist and proud of it, what's new ? It's their great cultural failing and has ultimately been the source of their greatest misery.

[okiedokies]

Freud was a Jew, so what do you expect.

[dacoue]

Luv Lacan. He reminds me of Yoda.

[marcelobullos]

tava mtho dodhoooooooo

He looks so stoneeeeeeed maaaaan xD

[anarchonism]

this guy sounds like he needs to get a life

[formless777]

Err... he was considered one of the most profound intellectuals of the 20th Century. He is also dead now. So you could say he had a life. Do you plan to resurrect or reanimate him ? Zombie Lacan I have to see. :D

[Gefilta]

anyway of getting the entire video? (if not WHOLE)

thanks, this is better quality vid than I have seen in the past

[chineta22rn]

I like this video... It's really informative. I wanna be like freud someday. He has done a great contribution to the field of psychology.

[herma57]

this is incredible stuff, I've never seen any Lacan, his writings, or lectures are not even all in English yet

[lh2110]

thanks for translating and posting!

[sandinista5]

Fascinating to see actual footage of Lacan.
