Among the foremost feminist critics to have emerged to international eminence over the last fifteen years, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak has relentlessly challenged the high ground of established theoretical discourse in literary and cultural studies. Although her rigorous reading of various authors has often rendered her work difficult terrain for those unfamiliar with poststructuralism, this collection makes significant strides in explicating Spivak's complicated theories of reading.

Thank you so much for the text version and link! Much easier for me to understand reading.
Wow, this explains how advertising works even without even really having anything to do with the product but just showing attractive people enjoying the product.
He was spot on in fear of death and self conciousness. Anybody here who became highly self aware and philosophical after a near death experience?
“So long as people believe that some deserve more than others there will be suffering.” - unknown I am not a philosopher nor a part of academia. I do have decades of time to read think and a fair amount buddhist practice. I have followed some of your work for a while and have entertained the idea that you have promoted that if we can find a common (shared) belief that underlies the social injustices of humanity we might have a place to apply pressure to not only understand why they exist and possibly to take away the underlying support for the social injustices. I have entertained the idea that comes from a quote that i came across about a decade ago that has kept me up at night trying to see just how deep it goes. “So long as people believe that some deserve to have more than others there will be suffering.” I have searched for quite a long time to find who said it. I have not found the source of the quote. But i am fairly certain it was a buddhist. My point is that I am entertaining the idea that the underlying belief or ideology of all social injustices is the idea that some deserve more than others. I was asked by a friend, “why do racists exist?” And my immediate response was “they believe they deserve more than others.” The more i think about it, it nearly always comes back to this foundation. The rest is just justification for this foundational belief or ideology. I don’t think we need to completely uproot the idea that some deserve to have more than others, but to make it come front and center to be challenged. To simply be discussed will create interesting dialogues. Imagine a revolution in a small exploited nation stating we “deserve” to have our resources. If challenged “why do you deserve to have those resources?” They can simply ask the same question back to the exploitative corporations that claim it for themselves. My point is the ideology or belief (i am not certain the correct terminology) that some deserve more than others underlies war, sexism, racism, classism, and nearly all of the worst human behaviors. Once the belief is deeply entrenched, then simple justifications to support the underlying idea that it is okay for millionaires and billionaires to have ‘earned’ the wealth they have. Having more wealth is already accepted. The earning part is the simple justification of the already accepted ideology. I hope this might be helpful in some way. Might there be a way of thinking that does not start with the idea that some ‘deserve’ to have more than others. Might it be possible to have “no-one deserves to have more than others.” To have exceptions be needed to adequately justify wealth inequality rather than it is the norm to have some with more and simple justifications to support the basic ideology of they deserve it as the already entrenched ideology. It will be important to differentiate need and deserve. I might need bypass surgery. I do not deserve a bypass surgery. So the knee jerk reaction that everyone gets a wheel chair whether they need one or not is the ‘natural’ result of challenging the idea that some deserve more than others. (I have run into this argument often) Might it be possible to build an ideology based on the idea that no one ‘deserves’ more than anyone else. That need based economy is possible rather than wealth (inherently unequal and needs justification by its very nature) based economy. This might be an alternative ideology that might need to be more fully understood, better argued for, a path towards normative practices. Can we engage in social practices that support equality of economics? Is this too simplified? Does it have value in what you are exploring? Can it be useful for critical theory? Can the very simplified nature of the belief be a strength? “So long as people believe that some deserve more than others there will be suffering.” - unknown
completely brain-dead monger...
I bought this book at the store because it looked interesting..... And i'm sure it is if you can understand it lol! I read 2 chapters and put down after reading the most ridiculous series of sentences I have ever encountered. Damn postmodernists and their weird use of language! Jokes aside, this lecture was helpful for me in understanding key terms and such as I make my way through the text, Thanks.
Philosophy and so-called philosophy is indeed different.
hmmm... she probably isn't a lacanian analyst
The ‘dadoucos’ is the symbol of porn, or somebody else getting it good: the primal horde. It is not about your parents; that would be Onanistic. How they manipulated people is by using the symbols of the English and German Golden Dawn Society of ritual magic to excite people. The Beatles weren’t yet thought of, and without knowing how good Dead shows were at this they chose a more purple and puerile frequency to inspire the Mass into the famous Alice Beyond the Looking Glass effect. It’s scary but they also used sonic frequency machines to bother people in their subconscious mind, like a modern Rock or Rap concert. Proves effective even today, unfortunately. The Mass Psyche is inspired by giving the middle finger to your folks, it turns out!😵💫🪬🫥
What an amazing lecturer 😊
thank you so much for underlying and circling the words on the board when you talk about them. its very enlightening
is she make more sense comparing to Avital Ronell? more engaging?
Yes actually partially right what some followers has been said here about Lacan. Yes, It is true Lacan was certainly influenced by Levi-Strauss Who as well took information about Saussure's linguistics from Jakobson. Mirror Stage was pioneered in France from H.Wallon but Lacan enriched It with his knowledge on Hegel. More precisely Hegel as he was understood by Lacan through philosopher Alexandre Kojève seminars Lacan attended as a student during 30s. Many references, many sources are need it to catch him up the whole Lacan. Certainly his essential key is to be very familliarized with all of those references that takes a lot of time to understand It. In fact, Lacan was a multiaspectual reconciling a conjunction of firstly Freudian psychoanalysis, secondly a Hegelian German Idealism through Kojève seminars, thirdly a Husserlian Phenomenology plus Heidegger ontology and hermeneutics and finally a Saussurean linguistics through Jakobson and Prague linguistics Circle. Also and no less important when Lacan was studing medicine and psychiatry he was very influenced by Karl Jaspers' Phenomenological Psychopathology. On the other hand, it is totally wrong consider as professor in this class on UA-cam video shows that Lacan was a posmodernist. He really wasn't according to history but ironically he has been distorted by contemporary ideologists of posmodernism and feminism. He dealt certainly with Structuralism and participated of important portions of this philosophical and linguistics movement.
A great way to tell who’s smart from who really wants to be smart but isn’t smart at all, is to see who’s still interested in this stuff past their master’s degree.
Very interesting her tattoos by the way. The only reason I'd click on a lecture about Lacan.
IS THIS WHOLE LECTURE A JOKE? No, really. It's hard to pay attention to the ideas discussed when the lecturer looks like Pippi Longstockings after a life of crack-cocaine.
My first thought was 'what is the psychology of an old leftist lady with blonde dreadlocks' 😂
How are moral and mathematical competencies grounded? Are judgements cognitive? If cognition happening in platonic heaven or through a brain in an environment? Ought there be continuity between causes and reasons or the dualism is ultimate? And if so, why?
20 mins in nothing but that’s not the way we do it. How about hungry judges issuing harsher sentences? Reaffirming only their reasons matter seems forced.

This is such a sophomoric dreadful take on the subject. What can we expect? Look at her hair.😂
Gracias por compartir la clase!
The students at York University appear terribly undisciplined. I don't think I would want to be their colleagues.
Great stuff.
Why is sound only in one ear? Dreadful
Ty
Skip to 4:02 for the lecture 😌
34:57 modern Russia as an example of fascism? What an insufferable clintonite New York Times lib. Using your parents money to sit around and talk about how bad Russia is in a CRITICAL THEORY CLASS???
I am not sure what Melanie Klein's case example at 29:00 has to do with Lacanian psyhoanalysis at all. It is surprising as one would assume at least Deleuze would know that free association has nothing to with all this. I would recommend reading Bruce Fink's A Clinical Introduction to Lacanian Psychoanalysis: Theory and Technique to understand that process better before very poorly attempting to critique it and failing dramatically in even an amateur Lacanian's view (myself).
Settlers were dreads love black folks music and have children by natives, they can stop a whole movement.
Thanks for your generosity in sharing this informative lecture
At 2:42…..”he’s obviously an anti racist thinker”…although he’s writing about hatred for whites and the acceptability of hacking them to pieces with machetes.
Pink Floyd said all that in the song "Welcome To The Machine"
Hard to take anything she says seriously when she backs off on Putin lol
thanks for sharing, maybe next time the sound can be better.
Total radical BS
When schizophrenia become naturalized as a way of thinking we'll all be better off. To stop demonizing people for any reason will be a great leap forward. I'm speaking as one who in my youth did have what was called mania and then schizophrenia (both in conjunction with attemps to leave a backward husband with other, more interesting men) and was treated in the typical drconian way with concrete cell isolation, forced drugging (a very long needle in the ass) and "life long" prescriptiohns for psycotropic drugs, which of course I routinely weaned myself from. It's been very difficult. I am now 70, free of psychiatry all together but see that the system still pumps out billions of dollars of drugs into the human family along with draconian managers who people must visit or suffer to come to their doors every day with their "meds." It's very cruel. It is NOT mental health care. It is mental health destruction.
Characterizations of the upper and political, hence predator class, therefore allowance and privilege are boring darling why don't we go out and act like
Lacan learned Saussure from Levi-Strauss instead of reading " A Course on General Linguistics". He used the idea of Henri Wallon on " mirror test" and turned it to Mirror Stage without citing Wallon as the original source. Lacan might be an influential thinker of the 20th century, but this instance of academic dishonesty and deliberate distortion of some ideas should not be forgotten.
Yes, of course as well as you took all of this information from Lacan's Biography by Elisabeth Roudinesco.😂
Yes actually you are partially right because It is true Lacan was certainly influenced by Levi-Strauss Who as well took information about Saussure's linguistics from Jakobson. Mirror Stage was pioneered in France from H.Wallon but Lacan enriched It with his knowledge on Hegel.

@@schilppkarljaspersvolmende924 hahaha. Not only that, he is also Kantian.
@@schilppkarljaspersvolmende924 Nope. From " A Cambridge Companion to Lacan" not from a Feminist Lacanian.
Great hair, kind of rambling lecture
Great lecture. Ridiculous hair.
>Old white woman with dreadlocks >multiple errors Completely expected
Virilio's claim on "Globalization IS the speed of light" is not totally correct but undersea internet cables are relatively close, could we pass the speed of light itself? If we apply Einstein's theory of Relativity, it's clear we cannot surpass light's speed.
I'm so reminded of the movie donnie darko when i consider desiring machines and psychosis.
lot of unnecesary crap, very little help to somebody first introduced to such very hard matter
Lecture starts around 28:02
