Slavoj Žižek on Lacan - Objet petit a explained using Pokémon GO

"It's typical that when he's pressed to isolate what did he really bring new. The usual phrases like 'desire is desire of the Other', 'the unconscious is structured like a a language', 'there is no sexual relationship', he says 'my true invention is objet petit a' "

Pokémon Go as reenchantment

In the final analysis all we do incessantly throughout our life, is to project knowledge upon reality. Be that a material or social reality. Knowledge gathered and then projected in a 80/20 mode upon 🌏 and 👥

When coca and zizi will arrive to the ankle of Lacan, maybe he will find Pikachu, Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle (for people who knows😅), What a pretentious prick 😂

Interesting analogy, a bit misplaced though, is the smartphone the ideology? Or the application? Or the gameplay created by the AR application (Pokemon GO)? And so the Pokemons appear in random places , is it the subject’s object-petit-a(cause of desire) ? Is it linked to the tempation to catch it? What is the reason we want to grab it? The gameplay? (The Real? In Lacanian terms)

I honestly find this clip to be more of an explanation of how ideology works (The overlap of reality and the fantasy lens of the ideology i.e. the AR aspect of pokemon GO or the anti-semitic view of the nazi) rather than Lacan's objet petit a, although its relation with objet petit a is explained a couple times in the video ( 3:12 and 7:12 )
