Salesman Lacan, the Object a and the Lack of Being

#puppet #lacan #sesamestreet
In this video, psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan explains various aspects of his theory of the small "a." In the 1950s, the small "a" functions as an equivalent for the imaginary reflections of the ego.
In the 1960s, Lacan develops the concept of the "object small a" or "object a" (in French "objet petit a"), which stands for the partial objects towards which desire is oriented. The video also asks how this latter conception relates to Julia Kristeva's theory of the "abject."

At first, when I saw this one, I thought I would like to see a scene with Guattari in the car driving Lacan to a lecture, but then I thought of an absolute moneymaker: a Jordan Muppetson puppet! OMG!

Maybe Lacan would accept the offer, if she proposed D&G.

This is where Deleuze puppet needs to pop up and give him a slap.
