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!
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.
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
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.
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

You did something no one could do, you made me understand Lacan's theories lol
Concise and complete, this video is much appreciated.

Thx for this.
The description of each realm and then of their overlaps was really useful.
I'll be checking out your other videos.
The explanation was good! And you are cute! 😁❤️
He is
Thank you so much! Great explanation! I'm working on an interdisciplinary artwork and this video helped me to understand more of these concepts.❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much!

Thank you for this!
Ja stands for what? Autre means other in French.. What is the j?
JA here stands for Jouissance of the Other (Autre).
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.

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
