I want to see something more here, something that transcends. But all I see is Yakov Smirnov, and I can't escape the sense that this failure in myself articulates an aporia that the absence of the Zizek of the 1990s would somehow be able to articulate.

Also, Vancouver for the US tour is a fabulous #parapraxis Dare I read it as the #problematic? (if you want to quote Lacan at me, I WILL block you unless Lefebvre makes a quotidian intervention, or better yet, David Gascoyne's very early footnote on Surrealism)

I'll stop now & show myself out. #zizek #lacan #criticaltheory

re: the Surrealists, Freud et al.

“This point has to be underscored. Surrealism’s antifascism is the reason its political thought should matter to us today…The most politicized of the Surrealists came to see their experimental activity as a method for neutralizing this explosion of authoritarian desire, even unleashing a flood of counter-desire…These poets and artists were apostles of golden love and its black sun, lust…But how to square Marx and Freud? Can this be done?“
