JOUISSANCE !!! LACAN'S UNDEFINABLE CONCEPT


LINK above for Video

JOUISSANCE is not very nice. Your mother should have warned you about it.
Diane Rubenstein


In the intro of this book Rubenstein gives us an readable and understandable reading of Lacan, Baudrillard, some Foucault whom she doesn't seem to like as much as the first two. She studied with all of them in Paris so she is the one I go to since I read this. This book is Continental Philosophy read through American presidents and Jackie and Hillary. She first taught at Yale where students there were prepared for philosophy, then at the University of Madison where they were not, so that was when she began teaching it through American presidents, a common ground for all of them. For those who keep doing a wild psychoanalysis of our leaders, here is a master psychoanalysis of the Bushies, Clinton, Reagan and Hilary thrown in before she ran for prez. After reading her on Bush I, I wondered how Bush II ever learned to speak at all. It seems Joyce's daughter did not and became an institutionalized schizophrenic. No wonder after Finnegan's Wake.

Another reading I prefer on the video of the two women and their cars is from McLuhan in his War and Peace in the Global Village.



McLuhan tells us about clothes, fashion, and clothes as weaponry. Every woman knows this is true. Then he extends his analysis to cars, their changing styles - fashions - colors, signaling class distinctions, etc but 
CARS AS EXTENDED CLOTHES, AS WEAPONRY. 
The car is an extended part of your body, and any door slammed into it or bumping yours is felt as if that other car bumped you yourself and penetrated your armor with its armor. Shades of knights in shining armor folks. 
Not to mention the violent eroticism of two women going at it with each other with murderous intentions.

So  when you watch this video of

I once has a patient who told me, "Everyone had me. My brothers, friends, uncles, fathers, everyone from before I can even remember."

I thought this was the biggest secret anyone could ever tell.

But another day she said that she had a secret she had never told anyone. No one. She had a very young son, was a single mother, and determined for him to be educated and off the streets so she had picture books for him, took him places, etc.


Her secret: "I can't read."

My second analyst who was an old woman had recently told me when I wondered about saying something to a patient said to me, "You are a grown woman. You can say whatever you want!"

So what I said to this patient having been a first grade teacher at one time who would not have made this mistake was: 

How could you ever learn to read! Every word in a pre-primer is LOADED! 


dick dog cat look see jump go stop come run away house red ETC.

And when we finished working together I gave her Toni Morrison's book you see above.

Is anyone going to say the current laws on sex offense with minors is going to have 

ANY EFFECT ON THIS KIND OF SEXUAL OFFENSE? 

!GIMME A BREAK!


Every one is in collusion, complicity, even the child who thinks it is a natural thing. It had become institutionalized for her. She is the goldfish in the bowl who can't know water. Then she goes to school which is an anti-environment and discovers 
meaninglessness. 

!AND YES I AM ENRAGED!
