Excellent job with all the lectures I have been binging for the past few days. Even though I have had a working understanding of the concepts, your elaboration and examples make them much easier to understand. Please keep making these videos. At least for me they are very helpful when I have an understanding of some Lacanian concept, but I struggle in putting it into actual words.
Throughout the whole end of the video, I was thinking “This is just like Wittgenstein’s Private Language argument!” I have been derided by Wittgensteinians for bringing up Lacan and vice versa. Glad to hear someone else sees the connection!
@@derekhookonlacan I've been thinking about the MAGA movement, how the signifier 'maga' played a central part - everything sprung up and around that one new word, and how the rallies were central in symbolically "consuming the same substance" together in the form of the jouissance of the hatred of the other. It makes perfect sense in those terms and I now see it as the RAVE movement for conservatives. Dj Donald Trump in the house, so help me god. (during the rave movement our enemy were the cops, neighbors, property owners, and everyone who was determined to shut us down. We took major jouissance out of destroying their peace of mind for our hedonistic pleasures.)
Thank you very much, Dr Derek; your videos make great sense in studying Lacan. I struggled to actually understand Lacan, especially the concept of Jouissance and Big others, but your videos are making a break where I have started to understand the concepts. Thank you once again. Dr. Derek, can you please share your email id? I have some questions regarding caste and Jouissance that i wish to understand ?
I'm not sure it's quite relevant even as a test case, but your explanation of Imaginary duel versus Symbolic mediation set me thinking of the paradoxical example of trial by combat, where a duel of equals itself expresses the adjudication of the divine Other!
I suppose in that example in as much there is the possibility of an adjudication, the big Other would presumably be present. I wonder whether that could be contrasted with a zero sum game duel of one against the other with no adjudication present. If one lives with neurotic structure, in a world where symbolic norms and the big Other function it can be difficult to imagine a purely imaginary one against the other situation. As perhaps exists in the animal kingdom. Thanks for your comments.
I wonder if there exists in other fields an equivalent with how in Lacanian theory a book such as Dylan Evans' retains such a standing whilst it's author has long ago denounced his own interest in the field itself.
Derek, I have been through several playlists. Love your vdos, they made clear what was unclear in my reading of Lacan. Deserve much more views and interests. Do you have like a blog post where you complied list of recommended books or material? Thanks.
thanks for your presentation, Derek. Referring to "The Mirror Stage as Formative of the I function" by Lacan, I understand that according to Lacan "the mirror stage comes to an end" exactly when the other person starts to be involved, when the "social I" (which means language, symbolic,...) appears leading to both "paranoiac alienation" and to "primary narcissism". This is what Lacan writes, according to my poor command of English. So that, primary narcissism, death instincts and alienation occur only after the mirror/image stage, in the social (already "symbolic", even if Lacan doesn't name it this way, yet) stage. Wondering what I got wrong, as everybody else read something that I can't find in Lacan's words... Any help pls?
Thank you Derek! Your support is definitely a life saving 🐣
Brilliantly communicated. Enjoyed it immensely. Thank you for the video.
Thank you so much for your brilliant lectures. You are a true trailblazer for me in the labyrinth of Lacanian psychoanalysis.
Another great video breaking down Lacan!

I"m pleased that my videos have been useful to your understanding of Lacanian concepts.
Thank you !
The camera move tho :* epic haha. love your videos so much really informative.

I don't know whether to thank you for making Lacan understandable or to blame you for making Lacan understandable because I can't get enough of him.
Damn that Lacan!

@@derekhookonlacan That seems very true.

I though in a dialogue 1+ 1 = 4 or more. Thank you for sharing

Thanks.
My book Six Moments in Lacan includes reference to all my favorite books on Lacan, if that helps
Derek, will check it out. Got some of Darian’s work per your recommendation in the vdos too.
Thank you.
