- Hello and good morning everyone, I’m on a camping trip as I make my way to San Francisco. Today I’d like to offer a quick and basic introduction to the Lacanian theory of the four discourses and how Žižek uses it to make an argument about how power works and why Trump is the obscene master.

It's simple power = voltage x current
basically intensity multiplied by desire
As a retired electronics engineer, I can only wish that the world as logical as the humble electron. ;)
@@anthonybrett As a student in an engineering school, I wish I saw the electron as something "simple" X)
@@dalilou lol. To be honest I agree. ;) I may have taken the analogy a little too far. But I find the logic of electronics...comforting.
lol
[yet that is only an external model applied after the "fact"]
u made your executive choice about what it "means" to you[and comedy a la electric flow be it]
But this, too, eludes a fixed ontological arrangement.
Who wrote it this way first?
Point still goes to J.
You are fun, tho
This is the best explanation available on youtube 👌🏾 straight to the point… easy to understand
What an excellent summation of the 4 discourses! Can't believe you did it in 11 minutes!
The clearest explanation of the four discourses I have heard so far, thanks so much! 🙏
Thank you for your hard work Julian !
Would you ever consider covering the topological/chiasmic variations of the four discourses as described by Žižek and Lacan? It would be a wonderful supplement for this video imo!

[also, past vids, luv]
I like how when you see an analyst (or teacher or doctor maybe), you invest them with this perverse authority, which their ethic does not allow them to assume (no countertransference!). And without a professional self-policing, people really are at the mercy of their therapists
I never did that. This is like an explanation of how dumb people are. Sure, they are the arrogant majority. I just judge by what people are. Zizek and Lacan are dumb and focus on their own powerful dumbness without a breath for intelligence.
So paradoxically capitalism produces the conditions for psychoanalysis, but the practitioners must assume an earlier guild ethic, or maybe they can sublate their position somehow. Sorry for all the jargon
@txikitofandango Einstein said the only person should trust enough to be open with is your Dr.
I'd put teachers, poltical class and police and other authority roles under that of a Dr.
u like that, huh?
Not sure you are getting value as much as a bounce board for convoluted and melted versions of interpreted mirror images
from these otherwise put and elegant, always, presentations.
But nice typical internet knowitall gibberish phrasing.
I 'like' that....
They are the authority. They possess legitimized knowledge.
Nice view! Thanks for this Prof. Julian!
Congrats on round number, looking forward to next rounder number. We cannot escape ideology or the attraction of round numbers.
Amazing.
Beau is afraid is a great film to explore the hysteric discourse.
Could you make a video explaining hysteria soon from a Lacanian perspective
Is the object of desire also an empty signifier like the master signifier?
What would be a good/simple definition of the word Power here?
I need a dumbed down version of this
The dumb down version is the only version
The selfish individuals are blind to the shadow requiring the selfless individuals to cooperate in seeing..
The jedi or ring wraiths often end up siding with the shadow against said selfish individuals
The form a collective eye or invisible church of impotency inviting the outside in
Obviously selflessness corresponds to knowledge and thus power
Made me think of so much: "kenosis"- the self-emptying of Jesus.... of Mindfulness practices which encourage the development of a "non-judgmental observer" within ...., of the slightly dissociative feeling that comes with taking any action at all.. (St Augustine: "to act is to sin") , the comfort of being an academic "know-it all" with no skin in the game.
lol, at this point how many people believe the POTUS isn't a figurehead / misdirection / storyteller?
Not to be offensive though, love your channel 👍
I wish you more trees
If Trump is the obscene master what does that make Putin? What happens when the obscene master wallows in hysteria to escape responsibility for failed decisions? Is that what makes the obscene master obscene?
What would happen if an unprecedented trend caught on of people wondering what is actually true? 🤔🤔🤔 lol j/k
arendt....
Why is he coming to the Bay Area? He seems too Zizek. SF is more for thinking people.
Omg. People figured out how to think there!? This is magnificent! What do they think about?
@@Bubba_GrimmThe answer to the Grand Needham question for one. If you're not joking. 🎉😂😢❤
