When Lacan came to America
This is fascinating from Sherry Turkle about what she terms Lacan’s psychoanalytical protestantism:
But for me, there was more to Lacan’s popularity than the idea that the French had found a Catholic and French Freud. My working hypothesis: In the aftermath of the failed student uprising of May 1968, Lacan’s notions about the centrality of what he called the symbolic order became a way to think through the political ideas of May. May ideology insisted that there was no line between the political and the personal. Lacan insisted that people and society are constituted through language. There is no “natural man” prior to life through language. Lacan’s idea of the symbolic became a way for people to keep politics alive. For a generation that was abandoning the barricades, thinking of yourself as Lacanian did not feel like giving up on the political world.
From the point of view of psychoanalytic Protestantism, the psychoanalytic institution sells its indulgences for the price of a medical degree, a psychiatric residency, a training analysis, and promises of obedience to dogma. Lacan, like Luther, was trying to draw attention to the moment when each must stand alone and make a personal commitment, not to an institution, but to a belief or a vocation (Turkle 2022, p. 236).
It’s from this special issue, which I want to explore more.

AI isn’t the problem—ignorant commentary is. If you don’t understand semiotics, Wittgenstein’s language games, or Derrida’s différance, you’ve failed the test. Licence revoked.

# Foucault and Dumézil on Antiquity
By Stuart Elden ( @stuartelden )
The biographical links between Michel #Foucault and the comparative mythologist and philologist Georges #Dumézil have received more attention than their intellectual connections. This article contributes by surveying Foucault’s engagements, from a 1957 radio lecture to his late lectures at the Collège de France. Particular focus is on lectures on #structuralism and #history in 1970, some references between 1970 and 1981, and the use of Dumézil’s work in each of Foucault’s two final courses at the Collège de France. In each, Foucault takes up Dumézil’s analyses of #mythology in developing his own projects concerning history and #antiquity.

I think I have heard more stories about how someone’s grandfather fought in WW2 with a jewish person than ever before in my life during the last 6 months.
I’ve heard abundant touching stories about how humane, vibrant & wholesome someone’s jewish friends are.
All from people, who continue to present the point that they are arguing facts about the conflict.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case. All of these people were arguing A NARRATIVE about the conflict.

Rob Horning writes:
It seems to me that #language #models, maybe by definition, are automated versions of #structuralism, in that they construct a synchronic, weighted matrix of language’s possibilities that is forcibly detached from history — a model of la langue that can generate an infinite number of paroles. And some structuralists, like some “#AI” advocates today, were eager to marginalize human #consciousness as a unique constitutive force — thus you find Claude Lévi-Strauss declaring in La Pensée sauvage that “the final goal of the human sciences is not to constitute man but to dissolve him.”
Structuralism seems to want to reveal this “hidden art in the depths of the human soul” and “divine from nature” how and why certain things and concepts are associated.
Lévi-Strauss claims that:👉 the universe signified long before people began to know what it signified; no doubt that goes without saying. But, from the foregoing analysis, it also emerges that from the beginning, the universe signified the totality of what humankind can expect to know about it. What people call the progress of the human mind and, in any case, the progress of scientific knowledge, could only have been and can only ever be constituted out of processes of correcting and recutting of patterns, regrouping, defining relationships of belonging and discovering new resources, inside a totality which is closed and complementary to itself. 👈
Viewing the universe as a closed totality suggests that #time itself is meaningless, an unfolding of a pre-existing and #unalterable pattern that humans try to fathom but can’t change.
It seems as though this vision animates the claims and the fears of the companies working to impose language models on us as the apotheosis of general intelligence.

I saw the #HiroshiSugimoto #exhibition at the #HaywardGallery this week. It was excellent. I spotted this hinge in a stairwell at the gallery.

When I was studying #cinema in college, much of the underlying theory fueling my research was #structuralism, #PostStructuralism, #semiotics, #constructivism, and #AuteurTheory. I knew nothing of #Psychoanalysis, nothing of #Freud or #Lacan.
When #Zizek came out with his 2006 #film, THE PERVERT'S GUIDE TO CINEMA, it blew me away. Though I was done with college I still continued with a strong interest in cinema. I found his insights fascinating and provoking.

Hello w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶ Set-of-interconnected-self-actualising-machines!
I intend this to be somewhat of an introduction, although I do realise that it would constitute a rather bizarre greeting in real life. This won't be a personal account, by that I mean I don't intend to post personal content (i.e. about my real world identity). This isn't really for anonymity, despite admittedly being quite a shy person, I think it's more to do with not wanting to attempt a serious explanation of my context, something which I doubt is achievable through this medium. For me underrepresentation is better than misrepresentation, although I understand if people find my presentation here dishonest or unaccountable.
I'll use this account partly for listening, a sampling spoon through which to experience the soup of conversation and thought. I'll also do some tooting, I like this word, I might have said contributing, tossing new, or maybe reused, ingredients into the soup, but that gives the impression, I think, of some final objective, an endpoint. Most likely, listening will be the larger of these two parts, and at least for the short term, both parts, the whole, will occupy very little of my time. Expect sporadicity and inconsistency!
I also wanted to say something about what I am interested in, this is difficult since if I just say a lot of words then what is there to relate my meaning, my intentions, to the meaning which you understand? "Language disguises thought" - Wittgenstein. Well after much deliberation and many sleepless nights I decided to... just say a lot of words, although do bear in mind that the following list is just that, merely a collection of words that I, at the time of writing, happened to perceive as having meanings that corresponded, perhaps imperfectly, to topics that I am interested in. Interested does not necessarily mean fully-endorse/believe/would-describe-myself-as/is-knowledgeable-about.
