Lacan Hangs Up on Saint Paul (LHUPOST) part 1

I'm saying that because is it involves the use of some new tool and it finally feels like I had enough varied stuff to put something coherent together. "If you fail to understand the precise point the film is making than you have not understood it."

--
So the name of the Film is
Lacan Hangs Up on Saint Paul.

You may wonder how this related to the matierial but given the constraints of time I have decided to construct a longer more ruminated on piece of "film" and therefore certain aspects may only become concrete after a few episodes.
You may also question the style of the video and my only comment there is that time is what is needed. Time and huge embracing screens or isolation tanks filled with salt and wired for video.


Words

"Some have asked if I did not feel lonesome"
"If there were anyone else"

Henry David Thoreau Walden
From the Librivox recording

"Leading A modest life in an Idyllic fake... ....staged to keep him satisfied."

Text by Slavoj Žižek As read by a computer(apparently).
It refers to the Phillip Dick Novel "Time Out Of Joint"
Which was a really neat book about this dude who does crosswords or some other mindless thing unawares that he is also somehow determining the launching trajectory of these missiles that are being fired at the moon.

"Classically in philosophy there was a distinction drawn between
Being with a capital B,
Which a philosophical way of writing the word God or Fundamental Entity
Being Big B.
and
being/entity
one among which is dasein
Heidegger, However,and I don't want to mislead you because many readers have been mislead
Heidegger
is no humanist."

Rick Roderick From his lecture series Titled""Self under Siege" lecture series"(I'll note where it is next time i hear it if needed)


Man-It's beautiful here
I can see the whole valley

Woman-yes and there's our cottage down there
it's time to go back isn't it

Man-"Yes.
but we're not going
there is nothing there for us.
ah the town's empty no ones going back
there's no reason to...none at all...

Such odd
such ridiculous houses"

Woman- "such ugly people I'm glad their gone"

Man- "Gone?

Where did they go?"

Woman-"I don't know?

Man-"We'll go back to town maybe next year,
or the year after that"

Woman-
Or, maybe the year after that

Man- Maybe?

c'mon

let's take a swim"

Wait a second I was just going on about a different video that had another quotI'll post an answer

Part III -... the Father idea (whatever it is who has taken from us the phallus) gives rise to the Christ idea (as sort of an objet petit a wherewith we hope to get back the phallus. So Lacan inverts Pauline philosophy. I am reading this correctly? Thanks!

The introduction made by the professor seemed oddly seductive. The fact that he starts out with this story about an altercation between Paul Ricœur and Lacan while at the same time steering the whole thing into some religious discussion Is the beginning and the end of the whole thing. But like Paul was always reaching out to spread a message(I assume) even if it meant getting over these pointless jewish riitual questions. Lacan (His enormous head with a gigantic cigar in it and

an anarchy symbol painted in the backround) just hangs up and terminates the connection.

it made me cry I saw it twice

Part II of my post: are you saying, in other words, that the Symbolic Father (which has gotten his way into philosophy as capital B Being or God) gives us signifiers like the Christ? (Which I suppose would be our subconscious way of trying to get back the Phallus - myths like the Pauline Christ is supposed to grab the phallus back from the Father.) So "Lacan hangs up on St. Paul" means the Pauling Christ-as-signifier-for-the-Fa­ther is mistaken, rather, the Father idea...

[Allocator2008]

Dude, great video. I am sooo curious as to how the title relates! The only thing I can think of, from the top of my head - for Lacan the signifier creates the signified, not vice-versa. In St. Paul, the Christ is a "signifier" for God or The Father ("le nom de Pere" or big B Being). Perhaps "Lacan hangs up on St. Paul" indicates that the Pauline concept is wrong, that is, the Christ (signifier) does not create the Father (signified) but rather, the Father (le nom de Pere) creates the Christ?
