    Hello, it was a helpful video in understanding Lacan's concept of Object a and uncanny. But I am confused about the difference between object a and minus phi. Are they same thing or are they different concepts?

    Yes, what on earth else could be anxiety provoking about a pack of wolves staring at you from outside your open bedroom window.

    I'm really struggling to find parallels in the examples given, e.g how does the dream scene through the window relate to Freud going round in circles in a red light district? (Surely the Freudian explanation for the latter would be that he subconsciously desired to remain in that area, so in reality none of his 'wrong turns' were mistakes?)
    I have heard of tbr concept of the 'uncanny valley', whereby viewing something like a mannequin can create a sense of unease/anxiety due to the sense that it is not quite human. Is this a parallel to gazing into a mirror, (as described in the vid), to the point where you no longer see yourself in the 'normal' way....
    Can anyone help? Thanks in advance..

      Consider the concept of the real and how anything from the subconscious has to be symbolized to be seen in our reality. Zizek covers this in his book "how to read lacan" chapter 4 "troubles with the real: lacan as a viewer of alien". Hope this helps you out on what the true terror is.

    All curses grow out of the Oedipus Complex in Freudian Analysis
    It has many names in many other fields of psychology, yet they all seem to one fundamental narrative of (symbolic) parricide.

    you lost me at the window. Am I right in saying that...by exposing the artificiality of the representation the frame delienates what is real and what is dream, and the uncanny feeling is the appearence of the real in the dream world (and vice versa) - as in the appearence of the familiar in an unfamiliar situation?

    I keep trying to see any value or meaning in his work, however, the more I look the less I find. I’ve come to the conclusion that it is the emperors new clothes, people find value because others have told them there is value, the placebo effect.

      The entire field is fashionable nonsense. These “patients” are only suffering from an artefact of modernity, if one is no longer having to use one’s mental and physical efforts in the process of survival and reproduction then the resulting excess energies will risk being misdirected. I can be sure that a genuine cure for their ills would be for them to fight for their survival, it would work in hours once they become hungry, cold or thirsty. A little hardship is remarkably good for us.

      I tend to agree. It resembles Scientology in the conjectures it makes, even if they are a bit more insightful and interesting.

      @@Hauntolo-G when we don’t have the first clue of the true nature of our consciousness then it is obvious that we can never expect to know or influence higher order functional outputs. Just as we don’t truly understand cause and effect within any complex system, we like to tell ourselves we are smart but we aren’t yet.
