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

Remember I said all this. It is very funny!

Lyrics for John Mayer:SHOTGUN EYES











SHOTGUN EYES Lyrics for John Mayer


Hey country girl

With your shotgun eyes

Takin aim at me

Long after I saw you comin

Long before you guessed I did

Peek-a-boo dresses

With cowboy boots

Shirley Temple curls

Lurin me in

Meant to fool me

Floatin signs

Lurin me in

Singin there

Movin there

But hey country girl

With the shotgun eyes

Aimin at me

Medusa gazin at me

I've read Butler

And Rubenstein too

I know about drag

And masquerade

But I don't think

That you do

Yet


I'm gonna tell you baby

I'm gonna tell you baby

I'm gonna show you baby

I'm gonna show you baby

Yeah that's what I said

It's all about pretend

All about pretend

I didn't give you a baby, baby

I jes gave you a song

Instead

Instead

Instead

Taylor Swift singing Dear John with Lyrics
