I'm finding these videos incredibly helpful, thank you, Derek. This is a tricky concept that you do a marvellous job of exploring and making more comprehensive. I'm in the final year of writing my PhD thesis on abjection and repetition compulsion and it seems to be there is an integral link to be made here with jouissance, so these videos are helping me relate to my thesis in a new way that will be influential for my final chapter. I'm very grateful for these lectures.
Is procrastination an example of intrapsychic jouissance? In procrastination, there is the compulsion to repeat (drive) and transgression of one's own superego (should have done it earlier), and often the pleasure of getting away with it, which the individuals don't really want to give up.
Can we say that psychotics are indulged in jouissance and symbolic function is blurry, not of importance while in perverse structures, the subject precisely needs symbolic function almost as of same importance as jouissance because it needs to transgress the law, therefore that structure is more stable than psychotics?
Orthodox Christianity as strange as it sounds has an apt correlate to Jouissance in the "Passions". The latter are those psychic and spiritual forces that work on and through us and hence we are passive to them. The Passions aren't inherently bad, but become pathological through continued activation.
Thanks so much for these. I’m very interested in Lacan via my art background but now on his own. Actually I began to think about dirty or forbidden pleasures in my 20’s though I hadn’t worked out many details and didn’t have the vocabulary to deal with it. It’s a fascinating topic.
@@MichaelMarko you may also enjoy georges bataille, if you haven't discovered him already. I've noticed a lot of this reminds me of bataille's thought. Interestingly, Bataille's wife left him for Lacan, so they were very much aware of each other.
@@OdoItal Yeah. Bataille. Another of the mid century philosophers I need to study more. I really love that era. They really LIVE in my mind! They seem giants. They were. Even with all that French elite writing style. Something about it has always just knocked me out.
The racist outburst reminds me of the lady who threatened to call the cops on the guy who asked her to put her dog on the leash. Lockdown has effected a lot things
Those chickens in the background really loved this lecture.
do chickens have jouissance haha - thanks

Thank you... I think this lecture makes me understand much more about this subject.

You provide a very pertinent example
Is jouissance something like a guilty pleasure? Is it death drive enjoyment?
Yes!
Depending on circumstances and the individual ... but for the most part.
the total war speech by goebbels. i think zizek talked about it ofc.
Wish you wouldn't be woke though "Political correctness is good"
