Explanation of Lacan's Borromean Rings: the Real, the Symbolic, the Imaginary and everything in-between.
Very helpful video. Well explained & unobscure . Thank you
Wouldn't be better to say 'Kantian ethics is about what I ought to do?" Whereas, what we should do is a hypothetical imperative.
Hi guys is PERFECT 😂😂😂
I am currently writing my thesis on cultural appropriation and I needed to use the Lacanian theory in my theoretical framework. I was almost freaking out because I didn’t understand it and every website or video I saw was so complicated…apart from yours!!! Now I get everything and can continue with my thesis
Thank you so much!
Oh, boy... it's really unhelpful. And since when Lacan would care about the "character"? Even the subjective structure is of very little importance. Useless labels for real clinical work.
Unhelpful comment thanks
Clinical structures are all over the place when it comes to Lacan. As a label, I agree with you, doesnt help us on a analysis. But it does help a lot in terms of comprehending the concepts in its relations with each other.
Concise and complete, this video is much appreciated.
very nice
Can I follow your facebook to read more knowlegde?. Will you make a vid to complaine death drive, Thank you.
Thank you very much much much. I am Vietnamese. Lacan isn't popular in my country. I try study his theory than 1.5 years. He is so difficult, and after listening your vid. Finally, I can understand a little bit What is Real, Symbolic and Imaginary.
Man, that word “imaginary” is kind of a stumbling block. It has a different sense in English. Like, the English sense is there in the sense of, like, a mirage, a superficial glean on it. But it means “image-based”. It doesn’t mean “not real” (once again, not in the Lacanian sense). We might say, in a more conventional sense, “You don’t have to be afraid of the dark, monsters are imaginary.” In the Lacanian sense, it’s the register we experience the particulars of nominalist philosophy and where most psychoanalysis (of the American/British Object Relations and Ego Psychology sort) erroneously takes place. The ego is one’s imaginary double, connected to the subject via the symbolic. So long as therapy is focused on the image of the psychoanalyst’s body, relations are ego-to-ego, and thus imaginary. Yes, meaning is created in the “gap” between symbolic and imaginary, the metaphorical point de capiton or quilting point, but the English sense of “imaginary” is preserved in the structuralist notion of a signified. The idea of an actual, graspable signified is what’s imaginary in the conventional sense.
My current partner has this swallowing tick. He's 55 y.o. but still: Whenever he wants to portray himself as a good, eloquent, correct person, whenever he feels he's in the public eye, he swallows in vain. It feels to me that the school-age boy (13-14 years old) is trying to speak in front of the class and he emphasizes swallowing so that everyone else could see that he's doing a biological task, thus the silence becomes more acceptable somehow. Feels as if he needs an excuse to be silent for a moment while arranging his thoughts. I think it's cute so I let it be and encourage him on other sides. Hey, I'm not perfect, I'm worse!! I yawn in vain, like a fake yawn. I don't know what it is but it certainly gives the impression that I'm bored which is not so. To help myself, I did find Jordan B. Peterson, in one of his lives, he speaks about how to speak in públic and he emphasizes on the importance of "thinking together" / "digesting thought together" instead of robotically imprinting a message onto another. Also, taking your time, gives you importance as you do not have to "run" / "be quick" in order for others to listen to you. This, I'd say, goes hand in hand with being ok to take up territory and space. The "good" people SHOULD be loud, heard, seen, given time to and allowed space. I am an advocate of honorable people making noise. I much prefer good people speak up firmly than others who are not "good" influencers. And this too, I'd attach it to a childhood period when your territory was invaded in the "wrong" way. I sense you don't want to take space because someone had done that with you and you didn't like it so you're trying to avoid taking space so that you will not become as the person who invaded your space. The difference is you're a good person with a good intention and a good purpose. I encourage you to take all of your time and all of the space you'd like for yourself. I am peacefully watching and I respect what you have to say. I'll see all of your videos today coz you're the only one that made sense to me regarding Lacan. Thank you so much for all of your work and for being here!!
You're very shy in presenting it but very, very accurate, brief and to the point. Just out of my own passion, I'm looking into this but the seminars Lacan left are tooo long. So I appreciate this a lot! Thanks!
Ja stands for what? Autre means other in French.. What is the j?
JA here stands for Jouissance of the Other (Autre).
Thank you for this!
Regarding the last formula 'there's no such thing as a sexual relationship', this is due to the difference in the symbolic orders of two subjects? What can be further linked to how fantasy affects their symbolic orders? I'm not sure if I get it. Thank you for these wonderful videos. I'm trying to learn more about the subject. Keep it up!
Thank you for your question. With respect to this formula, I wouldn't necessarily use two subjects as an example, rather I would take a step back and try to look at it from a first-person perspective. From the first-person perspective of the Real/Symbolic/Imaginary Borromean Knot, there aren't two symbolic orders. This is the formula there is no Other of the Other. Any way we could conceive of another's symbolic order or fantasy would only be from the perspective of our imaginary. Because of this I don't think we can formulate the idea of two subjects without invoking an Other of the Other, which would be purely imaginary. It's a really interesting question, but I don't think the idea of two subjects with two symbolic orders can be posed. Someone has to be doing something from a first-person perspective, and any possible Other of the Other would be imaginary. Hence the impossibility (jouissance) of inscribing the sexual relationship. I hope that helps. I am still learning too as I make these videos. If you want to see what Lacan has to say himself, I believe he goes over these ideas in this seminar: www.lacaninireland.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Book-18-On-a-discourse-that-might-not-be-a-semblance.pdf
@@lacansimplified2446 Thanks for the detailed explanation. I see it's much better to see it from the first person point of view. In sum, we could only 'guess' what the fantasy of the other is from our imaginary?
@@yungsida739 I think that's true, but I still don't feel satisfied with that as an explanation of why there is no sexual relationship. Maybe a better way to put it is, there is no way to link two people on the level of the Real. Each person's jouissance is singular. I think the reason Lacan states the formula is because J-Phi, phallic jouissance, situated between the symbolic and the real, gives the illusion that there is the possibility of a sexual relationship. But from a psychoanalytic point of view, no such relationship exists or is possible. There's no way to link two people in the Real. Why it doesn't exist, I don't know, but Lacan is trying to clear it up as an illusion. I see it as an impediment to certainty, the end goal of analysis.
Thank you for the videos! Out of curiosity, why Lacan? There are so many different approaches and views on the unconscious what specifically about Lacan's conception makes you believe that it is the most accurate way of looking at the unconscious?
Following Deleuze, I would say I'm not necessarily concerned with whether or not it's the most accurate model of the unconscious, rather I'm more concerned with what it enables you to think, what it does. Lacan's thought for me provided a lot of closure. There's a sense of completeness in the R/S/I and the character structures. It rings true for me in my own evaluations. I wouldn't say I'm up-to-date on every single psychoanalyst; I've read Freud, Jung and Melanie Klein... Nothing else has been as stark, naked and complete as Lacan has been for me, though.
@@lacansimplified2446 That's understandable, thank you for taking the time to reply, however it seems oddly similar to how religious people justify their belief in God, as that belief enables you to think a lot of interesting things as well as certainly providing closure. People also may find completeness in a religious world view and after reading the bible they might come to the conclusion that it rings true for their own evaluations. Basically it seems as if there is no real way of finding out whose conception of the unconscious is the most accurate, which seems important right, as everyone could theoretically come up with elaborate and interesting theories that conform to intuition however are at odds with each other, leading to the question, that if said theories are actually an inaccurate way of looking at reality what is the point of learning and studying them? Is there any intellectual way of solving those conflicts or are our subjective preferences the only way to discern why we should believe the things certain thinkers say?
You did something no one could do, you made me understand Lacan's theories lol
thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! Great explanation! I'm working on an interdisciplinary artwork and this video helped me to understand more of these concepts.❤️❤️❤️
The explanation was good! And you are cute! 😁❤️
He is
Are you murmuring? I can barely understand. You sound not confident enough.
I thought it was good.
Rude comment. Don't like it, don't watch it.
Do you have bad speakers? I understood every word. He has many mannerisms consistent with someone who might have a form of autism. I'm wondering if you considered this at all before commenting. Regardless, this could just be the way he talks, and what do you mean 'enough'? There is no standard to how confident someone should be before posting a video on UA-cam. To me, he sounds like the exact type of person who would be really cool to talk to specifically because he acts in the way he does - he seems authentic. On the topic of the video, I'm doing a short essay on Lacan's 'The Real' and I was struggling to understand parts of it, so cheers Liam, this helped
I understand every word he say. Although My English is quite bad. He is the most conscientious teacher I have ever seen.
He is perfectly clear
can you explain four discourses? thanks a lot!
This is all great stuff. Ignore if you want, but how old are you my dude?
Thanks! I'm 28, was 27 when I filmed these videos.
@@lacansimplified2446 respect man.. ok I may as well ask, ignore if you want, but how would you describe the difference between the imaginary and the symbolic. I get lost every time I try. is there a simple way to distinguish between them?
@@PeterZeeke In a way you can't separate the Symbolic from the Imaginary; they're tied together and entangled in a knot. But basically the Symbolic is language and the Imaginary is fantasy. Their overlap is Meaning, which has a Symbolic language component and an Imaginary personal meaning component.
Lacan Simplified thats fantastic, Thankyou so much for taking the time to reply 🙏
@@PeterZeeke No problem, glad you like the content.
this is brilliant. Thank you so much
Thx for this. The description of each realm and then of their overlaps was really useful. I'll be checking out your other videos.
