But to force oneself to be “present” in the midsts of the everyday, denies trauma to become part of one’s history. This is what neurotics manage well: they have a capability for “hystorization” as #Lacan called it.To create a hystory of one’s own does more to one’s peace of mind than one might think
From a #Lacan |ian perspective, wanting to “live in the present” is structurally psychotic. A key concept of the self-help mindfulness industry is that of arguing for “presence”. Most famously advocated for by E. Tolle many years ago, but now allover Instagram and beyond…

Why Lacan Loved Harpo Marx
"Harpo is an automatic object-machine that converts both the world and himself into a polymorphously perverse source of jouissance.”

Pretty Gnostic MachineLacan isn't a Neo-Freudian.
He's Freud sharpened into an obsidian blade.
He turns the unconscious into a haunted linguistic engine that speaks through us.
You're not the author of your thoughts, you're where language glitches.

“This idea of #philosophy as the unlimited jouissance of a thought that knows no empirical restraints…” (Ghassan Hage channeling #Lacan although he credits Derrida for this thought - why?!) ✨
When you are at a stage in your academic career at which all that is being said about an author (in my case #Lacan) sounds familiar & begins to sound repetitive, it’s time to go back to the original texts of that author & reread them until you find sth. new that has not been or has been less said…
