Jacques Lacan in 1 minute

[bijan84]

That was great no can you explain it in 10 minutes?

[KilgoreTrout1989]

This is awesome.

[tubemarco80]

Can't understand a big chunk of it. it looks as if you know something. so why not taking your time and explain properly. no one would feel offended if you took two minutes instead of one "sharp". It's like shifting the show to your speech skills instead of the content.

[anothertry44]

is there any evidence for any of what Lacan said?



[andrewwh000000]

@anothertry44 No, not really.

[Debordsbullet]

@anothertry44 clinical experience? I'm not sure what kind of evidence you're looking for. Perhaps the question can be applied to most social theories. I read Lacan more as theory and a way to approach various questions and problems than an actual psychoanalytic model. Perhaps that's why he has found a home with philosophers and literary critics. Regardless of his place in history, Lacan has some useful ways of looking at shit.

[appleadvert]

at lease someone takes this shit from the imaginary to the symbolic dimension thanks

[bellsxoxo]

please please do some more! i have about a million other theories to learn for exams!

[eecummingsonherface]

0:53 is my nightmare.

[ThePhilosorpheus]

Very american

[timtak1]

Superb! You nailed him! And used my favourite filme too.

[titinatrance]

dear mark obooko - you are a genius and i love you. E x

[fielsjd]

Jacques Lacan never ever did anything in 1 minute.

[fielsjd]

Jacques Lacan never ever did anything in 1 minute.

[Mrcfantastic]

Jameson in 1 minute would be wonderful!

[rocco133]

lacan was the one with the phallus, wasn't he? phallushead -.-

[keepitinyourpantsjoe]

This was hilarious! 

[makelisanotwar]

This just made studying for my sciencephilosophy test a lot easier! Plus, Mulholland Drive, yay! One of my all time favourite movies :)

[lice211]

[Raul0451]

you're a genius! monsieur

[KrushKrackKruck]

Well done, great video. It really made me feel glad after years of experience in philosophy to realize that there was this Lacan who really said things you think of you had known all along but never had in this precise words. Jouissance, baby!

[shadowolf2k]

LOL, you are seriously amazing, great video!

[yuriDL]

presenting Lacan's thought like chips is.....kinda unfair....

[GrantsWatching]

I really liked that.  Good work.

[WetKant]

This video has more mistakes than Glenn Beck`s reasoning.

[magsterz123]

Fabulous video. I hope this is part of a series: Freud in 1 Minute, Derrida in 1 Minute, Fairbairn in 1 Minute, etc. etc.

[markobooko]

@magsterz123 okay, you asked for it! My latest video in the series "Jacques Derrida in 1 minute"!!

[TheAlonetogether]

IL disait être heureux d'être content malgré soi. Or la poitrine de son nerf (c'est lui qui dit ça) respire le totalitarisme de la démocratie juvénille. Faut le faire.

[dantebezze]

great vid!

[xpressivist]

in short, Lacan is an idiot.

[WetKant]

@xpressivist Go back to your Twilight.

[Grayto]

Guess I have to watch Mulholland Drive again.

[hoiszhdfoifh22]

@Grayto the OId Couple are the pure jouissance that emerges from the Real of the act of the blonde putting out the hit, and killing the brunette: "you can't go back once you tell me to kill her." - when the fantasy reaches its end point, once it realises that it is a fantasy in Club Silencio, it disappears into the box which is basically the end-point of the fantasy itself, its disappearance into an Object. However, because the blonde's fantasy-

[hoiszhdfoifh22]

@hoiszhdfoifh22 -fails to wrap up the neat ends, because her phantasmal reconstruction of her relationship with the brunette (seeing herself as a charitable soul helping the pliable, amnesiac brunette) inevitably comes into contact with the fact of what she did, with the Real, the jouissance of the Real (her guilty enjoyment of what she's done) in the form of the Old Couple (who are constantly grinning inanely with terrifying pleasure) emerges from the fantasy (box) as a remainder and pursues-

[hoiszhdfoifh22]

@hoiszhdfoifh22 her to her suicide.

Sorry for all the posts. I wanted to say something simple but it's impossible to when it comes to this. That's just my interpretation.

[bogorzelak]

This was pretty cool. Thanks for uploading this.

[Aleister77newaccount]

not very good at all. was hoping to glean something useful

[rectus]

@Aleister77newaccount That could take two -- even five! -- minutes.

[paltieri11]

brlliant!

[SuzaneVonRichthofen]

I can't unsderstand a couple of words from 0:15 to 0:24 (English is not my first language). I wonder is a native speaker could help me out with those:

"The Mirror Stage, which, he says, is when children first realise they're not symbiotically one with the luscious sucking ____ of the mother. Hence, we go through life desdiring to reconnect with the wholeness, with the ____ imago that we think is our real self"

[markobooko]

Hey Suzane,

Here are the missing words:

"The Mirror Stage, which, he says, is when children first realise they're not symbiotically one with the luscious sucking teat of the mother. Hence, we go through life desdiring to reconnect with the wholeness, with the fictive imago that we think is our real self"

[SuzaneVonRichthofen]

Oh I got a reply from the author himself! :-)

Thanks for taking the time to reply! Very nice video, by the way.

[xparasyte10]

teat, breast or nipple (First blank)

fictive (Second blank)

[peterhndz]

what's that part with the creepy dirt lady on a skateboard around the corner? what movie is that?

[markobooko]

All the film clips are from _Mulholland Drive_ (David Lynch, 2001)!

[deoxyribonuclease]

@markobooko Strange that I remember that as far more creepy than it was (the dirt person, not the movie.)

[K2nsl3r]

good stuff, I think the MD examples fit in very well, too.

[fuckooo]

'Lacan was an actor'- Felix Guattari.

[guessone]

what did he mean by that

[rajasmasala]

this stuff may really be useful... learning lacan becomes easier cos of an anamnesis sort of thing. if only i could find a sober documentary-style english take on him on youtube

[dreamcastII]

brilliant. Do more like this. You zero in on some good issues here that can be followed up on
