Besides the brilliant interpretation you gave of Poe Lacan Derrida triangle, I want to note that you have such love and compasion for others to make an elaborate video to share your knowledge. Since I lost mine I wonder where such loves come from!
I've watched your introduction to post-structuralism just today and now I m watching this, great creation ! It encourages me to keep reading all these authors that are often "criticized" (if not insulted, made fun of) by people that barely gave any attention to their work. It's funny that I am french, and sometimes understand better certain concepts when explained in english videos like yours ! Thanks for being a step in this weird journey !
Great video, thanks a lot! I was wondering what the difference is between this alterity/play that enables reading/the process of signification and the Lacanian phallus (the -1, the zero signifier that seems to function in a similar way). Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this question!
Thanks for watching! I can't quite see an analogy where you're pointing, but that's probably because there's a limit to my Lacan. Too deep a cut, maybe!
Lacan described a continual slippage of the signified under the signifier which, for neurotic subjects, is stabilized at 'points de capiton' ("quilting/attachment points). Whence their failure, psychotic experience affirms their tenuous hold.
Yes, but the slippage Lacan is talking about is the sign of neurosis and even psychosis. For the "normal" individual, the expected Saussurean "attachment" holds. (whereas for Derrida there is no dichotomy, nothing to be "linked" in the first place)
this is the most clear ive ever been on lacans lecture on the purloined letter
great to hear, seriously
Todd McGowan does a pretty great job, but I like this guy’s narrative, theatrical flair!
I did not expect to find such a clear and thoughtful explanation of the Purloined letter on TH-cam, thank you for the help with my seminar on Derrida!
I'm glad it was useful! -- thanks for tuning in
Wow, what a great video! Why has this not been viewed thousands of times?
thanks for watching!
TH-camrs generally prefer to stay locked up in their caves (rightly so).
Thank u so much, I have an exam about this story and ur explanation was so helpful 🌺
glad it helped!

It's the same compassion that leads you to give encouraging feedback on TH-cam. You haven't lost it!
Absolutely lovely work! Beautiful! Bravo! Encore!!
wow thank you!
very good, bravo.
