A very important note for non-English speakers. The term translated with "repression" is "Verdrangung". Not knowing this can be very confusing: for example in Italian "repressione" is used to translate what in English is "suppression", while what in English is "repression" in Italian is translated as "rimozione". Always refer back to original German words used by Freud!
Anyone else realising Lacanian psychoanalysis is on the verge of coming a topic of wider academic discussion again! It’s great. I am writing an MA theory looking at closely at Lacan and Foucault to see if there are points of convergence in thief theory’s around the current rise in mental health disorders. If anyone reading this knows of any sources or has any insight let me know! Also if anyone wants any reading recommendations on either from me comment as well! Have been tackling lacan for almost 3 years now.
Hello there, I am also interessted in a comparison of foucault and lacan, eventhough I am at the very beginning. I'd be interessted to read your theory when it comes out. Where would I be able to find it? And for sources "lacan contra foucault" by mladen dolar and others is maybe helpfull.
I really enjoy these videos. For what it's worth, I don't know anyone who can read one thing and listen to the another (especially words) at the same time. I keep having to pause the video to read, and then back it up so I can resume the thread of what you were talking about. It would be nice if you would read the quote on the screen before paraphrasing it, so I know where to put my attention. Either that or just get rid of the onscreen text (except citations).
This is perfect. I've been reading Zizek, and I just picked up The Paralaz View. But in wanting a better understanding of his fundamentals this is great timing for a Lacan introduction.
The genius Jacques Lacan is the product of the catastrophic historic Treason in France, a Grand Paradox. On one side what he says: 'the unconscious is structured as a language' and 'it speaks' by the signifier [better said: the 'significant'], repressed and using other words, 'as in tyranny', is very effective and useful. His contribution to psychoanalysis is basic (including the exploration of psychosis by the concept of forclusion of the name of the father, this very name which represents the metaphor of the mother's desire) and promiting for new explorations: relationship between parents and child,.. On the other hand all what he says can be heard as an expression of the 'unconscioucised' french Collaboration with the nazis, hidden and forbidden to be said all the years after until now. He was a lateral part of it, living very well these awful years (buying a new appartement at cheap price, travelling many time in his car between Paris and Marseille, working as a psychiatrist at the same time 30 thousand mental ill people were exterminated by starvation in french psychic hospitals, never resisting and becoming a good friend of the nazi philosopher Hiedegger...) (as we see, there is good reasons to number the Godwin points if 'repressed memory' is to be said).
Psychology and psychoanalysis are not my subjects of expertise (quantum many-body physics is), but they are significant interests of mine, and of all the videos I've seen on the subjects so far, this one was the most insightful (novelty) and explanatory (nostalgia).
I wish the music volume would be lowered. It’s distracting and gives it a misplaced dramatic effect. It should perhaps only be used to signal changes in topics and muted otherwise.
That knee next to Madeleine Chapsal belongs to none other than Georges Bataille. It's a shame he didn't make the cut in this video. Very informative video nonetheless.
It seems we repress because sometimes reality is too conflicting and emotionally painful to face. These feelings/emotions go dark...blank. Sometimes repressed memories can only be pieced together by reconstructing past dreams and some childhood memories. The emotions are avoidable maybe forever? I recently had a dream that verifies my hunch of what I suspect I cannot face..but still, no memory and no access to the missing emotions. Is the new dream a substitution that I CAN tolerate? (it being a validation of my hypothesis)
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not a philosophy student. But are you saying here that the proof of existence of repression is in some oblique but analogous expression of the repression as, for example, some "neurotic" language, or as a bodily pain? The repression is speaking (from outside us) *as* the neurotic language, as the bodily pain?
Return of the repressed -- the unconscious contents return. I think Jung said that what is repressed are things associated with the inferior psychic function: one of 4 -- thinking, feeling, sensing, intuiting.
My guess is desire. We seem to want what we don't already have, so if we underscore a sexual difference, the desire perhaps is heightened? And just so we don't bring the Law down upon us, we must make sure there exists indeed a radical separation.
If you talk normally -- if 'one' does, anyone, not you, the narrator, but anyone -- then you stress some words and not others. If you combine your speech with music, unstressed words can become drowned, momentarily, at random, depending on the music swelling here, and a word being particularly unstressed there, spoken quickly, at low volume, or even not spoken completely. It can often be guessed at, or, given that this is a youtube video, paused and repeated, even repeated several times, and it will often finally yield its identity, but not in every case. Is this a metaphor for Lacan's analysis of psychopathology? If it is, you, the narrator, have chosen the volume level of the music very accurately.
I wish I could repress those ads. All those companies deserve to go bankrupt. Google is not paying taxes and allowing ads. It's like a double exploitation. Youtu.be should be a common good and be split off from Google.
The volume of music is far too high, it's like an American style dramatisation, just noise pollution, why is it needed here? I have to work hard to tune into the content, what a shame.
So the guy calling what happens to the building in his work as displacement was really substituting his repressed thoughts and feelings about being a refugee ? ... really ? what if he was just describing his work .
Music on the background is the key, its a lacanian noise, people always want hard things in the easiest way... my recepie.. make music louder next time,
I think there must be something seriously wrong with anyone that advocates adding such obtrusive music to such important writings, repressed egocentricity ?

This is brilliant! The best Lacan channel on UA-cam. Thanks a lot for your job!
3:26 Lacan's question
4:10 The substitutive
4:45 "Jolted awake' and displacement.
you have no idea how much we appreciate these videos of yours. please keep it up
I literally lmao at 12:08, that "No, says Lacan again"... 😂
Thank u so much for this masterpiece video...
Excellent presentation of difficult material. As a student of Lacan for past 30 years, I am so glad to have discovered your channel.
Great talk, but the music really takes away from its communication I feel.
rude n wrong, music took me innnnn
I wish i could repress the background music, sheesh!
mmmhorsesteaks well, if you did, it would just pop up in another video ;)
Not only is it too loud but it’s fucking terrible
I love the background music
its too fucking repetitive
@@martinreid2352 too good a comment

That combination would seem to be the introduction, by way of Foucault, of power dynamics within all this?

Thanks. May I say the music track is a bit too loud and competes with your narration?
I really like the music
Came here to say this. The music overpowers the narration frequently and I also had a hard time following because of it. Just some friendly feedback.
On a second viewing, I stand corrected. Perhaps I was in a bad mood when I wrote my original comment.
This is perfect. I've been reading Zizek, and I just picked up The Paralaz View. But in wanting a better understanding of his fundamentals this is great timing for a Lacan introduction.
Really good. The best lacan channel here..
Such high quality stuff. You’re my hero.
Great content! UA-cam needs more Lacan! Keep the videos coming!
This is remarkable
You have further raised my interest in understanding Lacan's theory
I am especially thankful sir !
I've always wanted a channel like this, A+ work.
A very insightful piece. It has helped solve a puzzle. Thank you
This is a very nicely and succinctly laid out, easily understood summary/intro the topic of Repression.
The genius Jacques Lacan is the product of the catastrophic historic Treason in France, a Grand Paradox.

(as we see, there is good reasons to number the Godwin points if 'repressed memory' is to be said).
This is super - easy to follow. thank you.
Psychology and psychoanalysis are not my subjects of expertise (quantum many-body physics is), but they are significant interests of mine, and of all the videos I've seen on the subjects so far, this one was the most insightful (novelty) and explanatory (nostalgia).
What is quantum many body physics?
Once again, excellently explicated.
“Truth is that which runs after the truth.”
-Lacan
“Truth is that which makes a hole in knowledge.” -Theresa Giron, _Umbr(a)_
amazing video and amazing channel!! Bring on more videos
Excellent video. Eagerly awating the next part
Would of loved to listen but that music is ridiculously loud
Thanks 😘 👌👏👍💓 but no need at all for music.. we like to listen to your voice & your analysis.
dude your music and flow is tight.
What a genius lecture!
I wish the music volume would be lowered. It’s distracting and gives it a misplaced dramatic effect. It should perhaps only be used to signal changes in topics and muted otherwise.
Very good.
Great channel!!
Great content and I also want to say, great narration! However, the music is too loud for me.
Presentation is good, it will be better if the background music is less louder.
Great stuff
What is the title of the background music? I love it!
UPLOAD MORE!!!!!
Interesting video, but, the background music!! Please, why does everything have to have background music?
pleasure island
Great video friend!
I actually love the music, I wouldnt take it away, if people complain maybe just tone it down, but to me it was perfect
Great vid! What is this awesome track playing though?
That knee next to Madeleine Chapsal belongs to none other than Georges Bataille. It's a shame he didn't make the cut in this video. Very informative video nonetheless.
Why does whimsical music always accompany Lacan vids?
It seems we repress because sometimes reality is too conflicting and emotionally painful to face. These feelings/emotions go dark...blank. Sometimes repressed memories can only be pieced together by reconstructing past dreams and some childhood memories. The emotions are avoidable maybe forever? I recently had a dream that verifies my hunch of what I suspect I cannot face..but still, no memory and no access to the missing emotions. Is the new dream a substitution that I CAN tolerate? (it being a validation of my hypothesis)
Bad choice of music and way too loud in the mix - but I liked what I could hear of what you were saying
What does Lacanian analysis say about Turret's syndrome?
Please, correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not a philosophy student. But are you saying here that the proof of existence of repression is in some oblique but analogous expression of the repression as, for example, some "neurotic" language, or as a bodily pain? The repression is speaking (from outside us) *as* the neurotic language, as the bodily pain?
Julia Brown think that’s what he is implying or Lacan is. I am not a student of psychoanalysis but I find it hard to be convinced.
what is that music track? I love it!
Anyone know if the creator reposted this video with less annoying music?
Return of the repressed -- the unconscious contents return. I think Jung said that what is repressed are things associated with the inferior psychic function: one of 4 -- thinking, feeling, sensing, intuiting.
This is great! But the music is a little too loud making it distracting.
12:47 -- Truth is not folen to Ubeas? . . . ¿Ché?
content is great but music is distracting
Apparently the music volume got turned down lol
How does radical otherness of the unconscious relate to Lacan’s idea of sexuation and femininity?
My guess is desire. We seem to want what we don't already have, so if we underscore a sexual difference, the desire perhaps is heightened? And just so we don't bring the Law down upon us, we must make sure there exists indeed a radical separation.
imo quote 7:13 seems untrue or highly untrue in some cases, 7:45 seems to be true
Please,please,without the backing track.Your voice is more than enough to hold my attention.:-)
A link to the interview article?
Good call - updated with link above
the background music made it difficult to understand you
why this strong background music, i have difficulty hearing the speech. nevertheless, Thanks.
What is the scientific, empirical evidence that proves the correctness of Lacan's theoretical assumptions?
Andrey Simeonov it’ll never be found. Psychoanalysis is an experience to be had, for better or worse.
What is the title of the background music?
Where is part 2?
On its way. Hit Subscribe and stay tuned
Helpful vid = succinct, clarifying. But why is the background music so distractingly high in the mix? Frustrating at times. Good stuff nevertheless.
i love the content, but the music is so distracting
Who else is watching this early in the morning and can't understand a lot of what he is saying ..... Just me then

music is way too loud. Shouldn't be there at all, really.
I wish I could repress those ads. All those companies deserve to go bankrupt. Google is not paying taxes and allowing ads. It's like a double exploitation. Youtu.be should be a common good and be split off from Google.
More more more
Just had to turn off the video because the music is too loud. Seriously, check well your content before you publish.
Lack On.
Turn off the music.
Didn’t understand that at all. Thanks
The music is honestly fine. Relax... take a big pharma chill pill...
The annoying background music functions here as a substitute for the animal prestige that is being repressed
The volume of music is far too high, it's like an American style dramatisation, just noise pollution, why is it needed here? I have to work hard to tune into the content, what a shame.
Very irritating background music
I love these videos but I HATE the music.
I wish this was without the Harry Potter music.
So the guy calling what happens to the building in his work as displacement was really substituting his repressed thoughts and feelings about being a refugee ? ... really ? what if he was just describing his work .
Music on the background is the key, its a lacanian noise, people always want hard things in the easiest way... my recepie.. make music louder next time,
The music is nothing but a nuisance.
horrible music; thanks for this lesson.
great video unnecessary music. consider it as a constructive observation
Pleeeeease PRIMAL REPRESSION
I think there must be something seriously wrong with anyone that advocates adding such obtrusive music to such important writings, repressed egocentricity ?
music's way too loud, man. Otherwise, great video
how annoying the music is repressed or is that a deliberate act to ...
Your voice is out of phase or something
Here comes another British trying to simplify and explain “big ideas” in videos where he speaks in the background.
The video is clearly titled an Introduction to....
This is actually quite the good explanation
Another unwatchable video due to music.
