1. Lacan's Mirror Stage (1 of 4) - Challenges of 'Prematuration'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- The human infant, for Lacan, is unprepared for life at birth. This infant face a series of challenges, such as gaining an integrated sense of their body and of their ego (their 'I'). A crucial factor in such tasks of 'separation individuation' is an image, an externalized 'map' of the body that the subject can use as the basis of their emerging ego. This mini-lecture foregrounds a series of themes - anticipatory temporality, the idea of primordial discord, psychotic difficulties in differentiating ego and world - underlying the need for 'a psychical action' such as the mirror stage. I refer to Freud's 'On Narcissism' and Lacan's 'The Mirror Stage' essays.

This channel is an absolute blessing! Thank you for your clearly synthesized material across the scope of Lacan's theory!
Just found this channel. Gonna work through these to supplement my readings. Thanks a lot!
Finally someone who can explain lacan clearly. Good job
Well Derek..three years after first watching your series...I finally get it. And its even cooler than I thought.
I'm doing MA Psychosocial studies at Birkbeck, that's how I found out about you and your work. Without prior relevant background in the field, I'm finding lots of readings and concepts extremely difficult to grasp. I can't believe that after watching this Lacan is actually starting to feel accessible to me, it's such a relief. Thank you so much for your work Derek!
I have been under analysis for the past year or so and the last few months I have developed an interest in the theory as well.
I went through a lot of secondary material ( zizek,fink,dolar, zupancic etc...) and through your lectures you have helped me so much clarifying some concepts and ideas.
Thank you so much!
🙂
This video is the best one I’ve seen so far about Lacan! Not only are you giving examples but you also take out quotes from the book and explain it thoroughly! Thank you so much!!
Wow, what an amazing channel! Thank you for the work you put on these, they are very helpful since i dive in lacan lately and its been very hard to understand for me, much Love From Turkey 🌿
Thanks for your comment - much appreciated. Hope you can keep on watching.
Thank you so much for this.
This is excellent. I've been trying to get a handle on Lacan for years (coming from a film theory/film practice background) but find sources either too simplistic or too opaque. Rather than just explaining what the mirror phase is you've provided a clear argument as to why it is - something I've not come across before. Thank you.
You are welcome! Please let me know if there are other Lacanian concepts that I have not yet covered that would be helpful to you from a film theory / film practice background.
Derek Hook Thank you Derek, that’s very kind. I’m making my way through your videos at the moment and if anything occurs to me I’ll let you know. I’ve used Freud’s ideas on the uncanny quite a bit but I don’t think Lacan addressed that directly. I’d be happy to be proved wrong as it’s a particular area of interest for practical work.
Two thoughts that immediately come to mind - Lacan touches on the notion on the uncanny in his 10th seminar on anxiety. The interest in doubling which could be one form of the uncanny could be said to be obliquely informing some of Lacan's ideas on the mirror stage. As is always with Lacan, the uncanny seems to be thought of in symbolic terms as an element that is out of place and often disconcertingly out of its symbolic place. In some ways this is a departure from the spookiness that often accompanies how the uncanny is broached by Freud. I am about do some video's on Fantasy which I hope might be of interest to you from a film theory perspective.
@@derekhookonlacan Thanks for replying Derek - good food for thought. I've wondered if from a Lacanian perspective our identities are intrinsically uncanny in the sense of being both familiar and unfamiliar? I will definitely look at your Fantasy videos. Planning to work my way through all of your videos as the Mirror Phase ones were superb.
@@derekhookonlacan Please do a series on the Real
thank you very much!
You see the smile when he talks about the king of limbs? A Radiohead fan right here
This is Sublime ! Thanks a lot !!
Thanks for your channel. Very helpful!
Thanks Dr Hook, brilliant content as usual! I'm curious if you're familiar with Daniel Sterns book The Interpersonal World of the Infant. There are serious challenges to the idea of "primary narcissism" coming from infant research. Particularly post-cognitive developmentalists like thelen or adolph (following in the tradition of james & eleanor gibson) might say that information about self is "co-specified" in interaction with the world.
Thankyou for these Derek!!
had to pause this to draw attention to the fact you said "where his feets are"... I love that
haha what is your Freudian interpretation?!
Well said..
I have always wondered how does mirror stage work out for someone lacking any of the standard perceptions, a blind or a deaf person, for instance?
Is this responsible for psychopathy because my experience with them is they lack the symbolic order..everything is the real. Their mother is just the woman who gave birth to them. Their friendships are transactional. They lack emotions that require a third-perspective. Isn't this all about failing the mirror stage? If not, what are the consequences? Do some infants get it backwards and think the mirror is the real world 'behind the glass'? And what if an infant never sees their reflection until after the first 2-3 years? Finally..and this is my favorite...do you think we can further the symbolic order in our cats and dogs by engaging with them and the mirror as kittens/puppies? Might this be why domestic animals are smarter?!?!
Fascinating, but I wonder about the process for people where mirrors were not available, if we're to take a reflection of one's own image that literally.
Very good
He is a mature ENTP.
So how do we address the blind baby’s inability to see an image of him/herself or others? Will they never reach separation individuation?
That's a question that sometimes comes up. The best Lacanian attempt to respond to it would be broaden how we understand 'image', to suggest that various forms of reflection (the mother's voice, for example) would fulfill much the same function. Interestingly the original myth of Narcissus involves both forms of mirroring - that of both image and echo. Thanks for the question!
@@user-zs9df9le9x Very interesting! Can't believe I hadn't yet heard about it.
"Deaf, dumb and blind boy
He's in a quiet vibration land . . .
Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know
"A vague haze of delerium creeps up on me
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see
He's dressed in a silver sparked
Glittering gown
And His golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground
Nothing to say and nothing to hear
And nothing to see
Each sensation makes a note in my symphony
"[...] His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey together you'll ride!"
-Pete Townshend, "Amazing Journey" (1969) Tommy
Three days, Jeremy? Three? That's insane.
Perhaps you could remind me of the context of the "three days" ?
How did everyone go with the homework exercise?
Any suggested readings to help understand the paper 'agression in psychoanalysis'???
