[shakeyourdimsims]

gender is a social construct

[chadpratch]

@shakeyourdimsims who constructed society?

[shakeyourdimsims]

@chadpratch i think it was thomas edison actually

though of corse i'm not sure, was in turbulent times, there was obviously alot of tension between him and tesla. tesla was a foreigner though, we all know what that means. but yeah, my money would be on edison

[carlonrobbins]

@chadpratch Language constructed society is it is an abstract noun referring to "the state of being social." Human beings are always-already social. The social is not a "thing," but merely that we are all born into of others, and everything each of us does, thinks, believes, etc., is based on these various relations.

"inability of the public to mourn results in heightening of superego & violence related to AIDS & 9/11, prohibition on stacks of caskets incite public outrage, melancholic moral masochism" judither butler minus one million uhs & ums

[newfan7]

Butler is wrong if she stated that sex is constructed because it is a natural force which goes far ahead of the individuality like language too which man is bound to.

May be there is a freedom in humans will and mind especially in the ego but no one can step out of sexuality or language for every time and sometimes will be even a slave to this forces without any choice.

[RationalEmotive]

Bill Pullman is correct, we need public mourning.

[MartianManhunter1987]

there needs to be more academic stuff on youtube. I'm fed up of reading wave after wave of tirades and insults. Does everyone agree?

[feifeishuangyu]

Zizek is a brilliant thinker!

[rosyhappyalways]

really?

[albaqaahuna]

the superego scene of self-laceration...

hmmmmmm...

who does something imaginary, like the super-ego, lacerate itself ?

what a bunch of...

[sionsono]

judith butler seems so freaked out by zizek. there was a cokehead comment on another video (mhmmm).

[4gelassenheit]

zizek is a f****** barbarian, hilarious...i guess barbarians are charismatic...i understand what he means by ideology is everywhere, but his conception of ideology is far reaching and expansive...an attempted tendency of deconstruction is to utilize (though still dogmatic--zizek) what present structures there are to be used to "open something," a "mutation" and so on. zizek is too jumpy for me to trust him, but his points, though commonsensical and general (deconstructive almost), i like..space

[ultrak0w]

his view of ideology is heavily influenced by Althusser.

[0neironaut]

wow judith butler is painful to listen to.
