Lacan Speaks (2 of 3)

[curtisi14]

Don't read the translation and don't comment if you don't understand.

[eitheror2]

Terrible translation.

The music fits well.

He really does sound as if he's stabbing someone each time he speaks.

But who?

God?

Thank you so much for uploading this, whoever you are, that appreciates Lacan. :-)

I consider myself a sympathiser and partial heir of the Situationists, but that was just rude! I mean...what the hell was the point? The guy just repeated something he heard from Debord...no new or revolutionary point was made.

[jdriscoll2000]

@niriop no, you're right, his rhetoric was entirely lifted from debord. at the same time, though, he did create a situation, and not a superficial one. he created a space of discourse with lacan out of the interruption; the only problem is that he didn't do much with it. i'm struck by the potential of the exchange, by the way in which lacan was willing to engage. i'd like to see what happened before the kid threw that stuff at him, which i agree is rude. but then again, at least he did something

[niriop]

@jdriscoll2000 Yes, there was good potential, but he completely screwed it up

[jdriscoll2000]

@niriop by the way, is that miller at 7:18?

[niriop]

@jdriscoll2000 I think it is yes
