Murder, Agnès Aflalo
Juan Carlos Tazedjián
The term "left Lacanian" trying to conceive of the actual event, the fact "political" on a "know-how with "the" political "can be dealt with, resolved in a different way than it does the conservative and defensive attitude that promotes the fear that" unknown "you can go with the event. This also requires separate, as far as possible, the psychoanalysis of "liberalism lucid" which sees itself as the only infallible remedy for the totalitarian threat. This liberalism is particularly difficult to assume that certain forms of exploitation and social inequality, are also corrosion of the democratic experience in civil society. (Jorge German)
seems that the work has no introduction, as it does not appear as such, but "for" and the ellipses of the title are the best possible introduction to this disturbing book.
There is in this collection of lectures, texts and debates, a thread driver to the vertebra, and is the laborious and rigorous task of contributing to serious reflection "to", "in the direction of", "toward" a future left. "The note-approach presented here, then try to give some credibility to his title," says the author.
Obviously, "left" and "Lacanian" two terms do not seem minded to be together, either in the discourse of the left or the teaching of Lacan himself. And in the attempt to make credible its articulation, German reaches far beyond what it claims, laying the groundwork, foundations, of what he calls "a eventually left "and" (...) something like a Lacanian Left. " Or doubt, or hesitation, this form of naming his invention involves locating in the designated space, both the left and psychoanalysis Freud created and recreated by Lacan: the conjecture. Space at different times in the history of psychoanalysis and the left has been colonized by dogmatism or claudication. His proposal has the incalculable value of leaving the former without falling into eclecticism of "anything goes as long as the story is well constructed" and the second, without giving way to some postmodern temptation to identify the failures of the left with a historical impossibility.
"What does being left in the XXI century?" German attempts to answer this question by developing certain working points "while he says, I will try to determine which may include what I call a Lacanian Left." And that "both" indicates that although these are not the same, not different things. There is no other way to do this show without the use of discourse that allows the Moebius strip, the topological figure that apparently has two faces, but we realize that is one when we move from outside to inside, or vice versa, without passing through any edge . Put another way: Lacan is not the inside of the left as possible neither the left is the super-structure of Lacan is at the base.
My hypothesis is that German, unassimilated left with Lacan tells us that left twenty-first century will or will not be Lacanian. Which is not to say that his speech is infused with Lacanian terms it is in Lacan's teaching on the subject, segregation, domination, the discourse of the master, the capitalist discourse, the tyranny of the superego, the ideology as "place privileged setting the subject to your fantasy reality "that we find the anchor points that allow us to think of a future left as possible, capable of producing destabilization Autistic-consumerist subject of neoliberalism.
The proposed constitution of this left, requires the deconstruction of a left after "classic" for that capitalism is a historical necessity and socialism is on the horizon the ideal of a society without antagonism, reconciled with itself, ie apolitical. Ideal of Freud and Lacan demonstrated their fantasy character, for being who comes to plug "the incurable and unsolvable fracture" of the subject, both as singular and socially. German takes over this "pessimism" Freudian-Lacanian, finding within itself, what he calls "a political opportunity." I understand this opportunity as one of the possible translations of Greek Kayros son of Chronos, whose time is the right time, the occasion. The author speaks of a different from temporary "progress" of the future perfect: "What have I been for what I am becoming ...". Temporality, in my opinion, not only opposes but is supportive of Kayros, since "what have I been" is inseparable from the timing of the decision.
This notion, originally taken up by Sartre and Lacan, is a key point of the proposed German. "... The term Lacan left, is among other things a way back to question the value of the decision, when taken from a fund undecidable and without warranty. This also means exploring what is a policy decision, especially when it does not refer to the field of utilitarian calculus of the faces, or put another way, when it comes to a decision that input is not promoted and protected by the master discourse ". This fund undecidable and without warranties is not a bug, or a lack of the German approach, by contrast, is something like the mark of origin, the opening of a seal that can be called Lacanian left, where no dogma, knowledge, prediction lit or technical evaluation of legitimacy, to clip the wings of risk, invention and creation.
For all this, the dots open a space for the not-known to the learned ignorance. Are points that remain "on hold" the reader, the purpose of bringing to bear with their decision to consent to their active inclusion in the provocation of the author. After reading the last page, someone can close the book and realize that is left or is Lacanian. But not enough to learn, as Monsieur Jourdain, who spoke in prose, it is necessary to say J.-A. Miller, "an effort of poetry." In other words, neither a leftist nor be Lacanian can think of it shape before and after the last book of Jorge German.

Commentary Orientation is the symptom, Vivian Fruchtnicht
By Rosa López
I have witnessed the history of Santiago Castellanos in psychoanalysis from the beginning, so I could verify directly how his passage medical discourse analytical discourse. I do not think that this process has been simple, or as the result of a progression in training, it really is a qualitative as evidenced by the book before us today the table.
Why say this?, Because "being a doctor" is something that gives a strong identity that involves a position on the deep-rooted disease, based on the desire to heal. I wish that initially seems very laudable, but it has its serious drawbacks because sometimes prevails over the truth of what is at stake in human suffering, unknown, and cutting off the pace.
know the figure of the physician, standing at the place of love, holds the know with a kind of omnipotence that one is beyond question. There are many jokes about this feature, remember one that said: "What is the difference between a doctor of God?. That God does not believe medical ... "
But we also know, and every day, the doctor feels helpless as the check every day how their knowledge is not sufficient to account for the complexity of what does not go in speaking beings.
us agree that an understanding of Lacan's not easy and requires mastery of important psychoanalytic language. But even when we used to Lacanian signifiers and know the basics of his teaching, always have the impression of not knowing how to articulate certain concepts with others, or you do not find clear how to reconcile theory with practice. Santiago Castellanos
has achieved and I say this honestly, not only because it is a good friend, but for the effect of clarification that has occurred to me. So many times I read these words of Lacan and yet after reading book understand them better than before.
Why do I mention all the time not so much to Lacan and Freud? Is due to a particular perception of my reading. For my taste, I insist on this, the first part of the book devoted to Freud is interesting and explanatory, but it has the same force as the second dedicated to the teaching of Lacan. There is a turning point in the text of Santiago begins to take flight and take off, then raising a desire to continue with the reading, highlight each paragraph, note taking and finally get some sort of satisfaction.
In this last part are presented the developments of the teaching of Jacques Alain Miller, with whom Santiago Castellanos gives us Differential clinical rigorous on the body, from the neurotic symptoms, to psychosomatic phenomena and events culminating in the body's own psychosis.
I have not mentioned what I believe is the hallmark of "The pain and body language": the abundance of clinical cases.
Notice how it begins: "A few years after starting work in medicine came to me a young actress is suffering from severe pain in the knee that prevented him from walking and working ...". Started directly, without preamble, with a clinical case with words Freud: the doctor who the beautiful hysterical gets to work on the psychic cause. After this boot so the foot of the clinical encounter for the rest of the book, how the theory is illustrated with cases permanently.
In the second chapter borrows a patient of Freud's famous Von Elizabeth R (true paradigm of what is now termed "fibromyalgia"), and the chapter on psychosomatic phenomena is an extensive review of the testimony Montribo Patrik Pass, but the rest of the examples come from his own clinic.
addition to the case of the beautiful actress, if I may so call it Santiago, I've tried the rest of the clinical illustrations, happened to comment briefly.
2) The 68 year old woman diagnosed with fibromyalgia, very medicated for years, and last but not least the worst victim of therapies, they offered interpretations like this: "What happens is a viral disease, a son and separation. " That "melange" of causes! That confusion on the subject!.
A case of iatrogenic medical and psychotherapeutic, worse than the other.
3) The woman who could not swallow and the specialist endoscopy makes it a differential diagnosis on the spot by saying that what we have is a "bolo hysterical" and adds "no worry, I myself have suffered a bolus hysterical. " A nice example that shows how physicians now not only do not ignore the hysterical symptoms, but are sympathetic to them, most perplexing of the patient. 4) Man of the 24 jars of urine, that following the medical demand had made the huge effort to count the enjoyment of the body in 24 clearly labeled vials to see how clinical assistant was going to mix them, measuring the total liquid and then throw it away. Being a manic depressive, the agitation of the patient's reaction was immediate. 5) The woman goes silent pain in the body to the symptom analytic that allows questioning about their femininity, their sexuality and relationship. Case which clearly verify the effects of psychoanalytic listening that put the sign in place. In this case, the author weaves an answer on the question open for medical statistics revealing that fibromyalgia is a disease of women.
8) But not all are successful in psychoanalysis, as well as those subjects who did not consent to treatment because they want to know anything about the truth are those who may become worse. To illustrate the great difficulties of the clinic, James brings a case in which after the diagnosis of fibromyalgia is psychosomatic phenomena masking severe and profound depressive symptoms, allowing you to enter the Lacanian theory on the psychosomatic.
9) In the field of psychosis is an example that is like the icing on the cake. The case of the illusionist. This is a middle-aged man with hypochondriacal fears for years has been quite unsuccessful behavioral therapy and thanks to the analysis gets to build a know-how which allows it to enjoy peace of invasive suffering.
10) Finally Gonzala 45 years illustrates a clinical question that probably only psychoanalysts can grasp, as seems to contain a paradox. When the subject is very scarce resource symbolic (psychosis not well-formed delusions) fibromyalgia is itself a resource to continue attached to Another (Centre for Health, experts etc). One possible way to make life livable. So it's "consent as a lesser evil, that the patient can perform these routes with the least possible iatrogenic."

But we also know, and every day, the doctor feels helpless as the check every day how their knowledge is not sufficient to account for the complexity of what does not go in speaking beings.
these doctors is divided in its function, sensitive to the uniqueness of each patient, determined that the inability of the practice did not lead to the exercise of power, which they can open this book an important horizon. 
But it's not exactly written a book for doctors, is a book for psychoanalysts, as being the result of extensive research in the work of Freud, and particularly that of Lacan, provides a systematic organization of knowledge of psychoanalysis on the body, a great value to psychoanalysts insist. Wody could paraphrase Allen in "Everything You Wanted to Know About Sex", but it seems rather familiar. How to say otherwise? Make a study of the text and get a full picture of the places in which Lacan talks about body language, illness or pain. Of course, each of these appointments can go deeper and deeper, in that sense there is no completeness possible, but if I'm not mistaken they are all collected. Therefore, it is a formidable study guide on the subject. But only that it is also very explanatory. us agree that an understanding of Lacan's not easy and requires mastery of important psychoanalytic language. But even when we used to Lacanian signifiers and know the basics of his teaching, always have the impression of not knowing how to articulate certain concepts with others, or you do not find clear how to reconcile theory with practice.

2) The 68 year old woman diagnosed with fibromyalgia, very medicated for years, and last but not least the worst victim of therapies, they offered interpretations like this: "What happens is a viral disease, a son and separation. " That "melange" of causes! That confusion on the subject!.

Case which clearly verify the effects of psychoanalytic listening that put the sign in place. In this case, the author weaves an answer on the question open for medical statistics revealing that fibromyalgia is a disease of women.
"havoc with relationships are a constant partner in the clinic of fibromyalgia." "The demand for love on female sexuality occupies a unique role in relation to the male." "The enjoyment female has no stable location sexuation male." Are phrases that I draw the text that demonstrates that psychoanalysis is a discourse that women could think like no other. 
6) But not all affected in fibromyalgia want to leave this signifier that gives an identity and consent to sexual cause analysis, as illustrated by another patient 57 years after a period of one year preliminary interviews displayed their difficulties experience sexual pleasure and decides not to continue treatment. 7) There is another case in which not only verifies the rapid therapeutic effects, but what is more important, that were preserved over time. Effects that emerge after a hard work in which the subject has to bring into play how pain and enjoyment oscillate between the relationship with the mother and the love of men. The speech makes a turn and the subject happens to mention the pain to speak of love, so in the fifth interview manages to establish with precision the knot that is muddled. 8) But not all are successful in psychoanalysis, as well as those subjects who did not consent to treatment because they want to know anything about the truth are those who may become worse. To illustrate the great difficulties of the clinic, James brings a case in which after the diagnosis of fibromyalgia is psychosomatic phenomena masking severe and profound depressive symptoms, allowing you to enter the Lacanian theory on the psychosomatic.

FOR LEFT Lacanian ... German George
by Miriam Chorne
singular Paper is what best defines
For a Lacanian Left. It is unique as is in its relationship with the same time within the emancipatory tradition of the left, the author Jorge German an exercise of thought over the various essays - written in different times and clearly dedicated to very different issues - but however targeted by the same ethical and political commitment. Let us add to our side How long have you left maintains a deafening silence? Given the lack of words on the left there is the infatuation the right to pretend that what is just contingency of history becomes an almost natural fact, "essentialized," which is no longer possible to conceive the outside, as if absolute knowledge. And here is rather the question of German "Is there even in the impasses of the times for capitalism output a book and decipher know?"
is unique for its audacity to bring together in one phrase two "terms that have not arisen in principle to be together and therefore always open a question about the legitimacy of their relationship." In formulating the expression "left Lacanian "Jorge German is aware of the treatment as critical if not outright irony of Lacan on the traditional left. His claims "the revolution as a return to the same place," the protest as a call to love even more fierce, "for example, are not yet sufficient to force back to Lacan for the challenges of thinking about social reality. The Seminar XVII,
The other side of psychoanalysis, among others
testimony is proof of that. The book discussed today is the finding that no waiver German despite his pessimism civilization to think that an emancipation project possible. The pessimism of civilization that is already present in Freud and Lacan is revealed when the seminar takes
VII, The Ethics of Psychoanalysis. Freud
back to the principle "love your neighbor as yourself" Is that you can love on the other his evil? Can he love to point to your enjoyment as harmful? Freud says that you can not get that far because this evil is the same in me and causes me to want my neighbor's farm, his mutilation and even murder. He writes in "The malaise of the culture."
"Presenting the social collective and the individual as constituted from an incurable and unsolvable fracture in Lacan discarded any possibility of reconciliation of society with itself. "But this lack of fulfillment of the social group should not be on account of any deficit but rather a chance for unexpected transformation . 
But it is also unique in the extent to which his voice is so counter to the discourses of the time, those who from the neo-liberal discourse rather than take responsibility for the so-called crisis of capitalism offer explanations unjust and ridiculous to the crisis of the system (in terms of the greed of top executives, for example). In the first article of the book and gives it its title suggests, however, that German is "the absence of a limit, a limit that makes financial barrier to uncontrolled drift" which could provide an alternative explanation. He even challenged the present is a "crisis of capitalism" and proposed instead that it would be a development of capitalism itself "capable of creating a crisis for all the structures so far came simulating their regulation: from the nations and their groupings, global institutions to economic measures intended to alleviate the emergency. Everything is absorbed and diluted in Movimas the market. "
is unique and stated in first person, not wriggle out of responsibility to speak in a committed, not to delete the statement which implies that the reader or auditor to engender a movement concerned also answered in person. Although German justify the rhetorical process in "the extremely conjectural" in the "clear speculative dimension" of his attempt, for example, says on page 27 "if there were something like a Lacanian Left", which is at stake is something quite different. Knowing as I do and for many years that way I think of it own, inherent to be and is what makes their interventions are always so alive. But also reflects a desire to reveal the logic of the discourse of love as is evident in the text entitled Lacanian logic: a case of psychoanalytic writing, where he compares from a few pages of Lacan L'Etourdit scientific writing mode and how psychoanalytic understanding that the latter always eludes all totalizing project. She says there "If the logic simulates a statement from nowhere is the purpose of hiding something. It makes available to hide the fact that a statement should state it. The logic of the alibi statement master discourse, subtracting the fact that there enunciation. The statement appears to be produced without any statement concerning him. The "to read" is forgotten. Such neglect is the refusal of the subject, is the pretense of a discourse without a subject. "
is unique in the amount of support in the psychoanalytic community, deeply homogeneous despite appearances, subjected thinkers interest a suspect to be protagonists of
the conservative revolution, in particular certainly Heidegger, but also C. Schmitt. In their work individually or in collaboration with his friend Sergio Larriera has learned to show the critical potential a speech, Heidegger, which dissolves the illusions in the first place faith in the progress of bourgeois modernity, humanism and revealing at the same time technological progress an avatar of capitalist discourse. is also unique in being able to speak or write with authority in many different disciplines. The set of seven trials that brings the book, if we consider as one discussions with E. Laclau, dealing first of psychoanalysis, or rather, psychoanalysis is present in everything you say, talk about what you speak, showing its founding dignity in the discourse of German, but also deal with political, logic, grammar, philosophy and none of us could do it. The various texts are shown as a Lacanian orientation fundamental feature: all the formal operation beyond universalizing, are removed from the aggregation. Moreover, the reader will notice immediately that the prose of Jorge German not only escapes the division of knowledge but also the usual distinction of gender. In her own form of scientific reflexivity willingness to conceptual rigor and precision, exceptional clarity is accompanied by a poetic dimension, a freedom of style, finding lucky find. This dual allegiance to the rigor and momentum Lyric is a brand identity of your writing.
I highly recommend reading this book, in each of the trials found suggestive relationships, clarification texts revealing but probably more proud than the essay on "Freud's legacy," shining in the relationship of the law with great enjoyment and literary speaking, and the article "Why the empty signifiers are important for policy?" in a completely different genre because it is a transcript of a debate oral Ernesto Laclau in which attempts to draw the boundary the implementation of the Lacanian theory of the unconscious in the field of political philosophy, this limit is that the Lacanian perspective is not only show how an irreducible external vacuum conditions the symbolic building, but also how that gap is colonized by the body enjoys. In the Lacanian logic are not the same significant operations typical of the time pulse of the drive. The paradoxes of significant though constrained by reality impossible not to be confused with it.
the first letter in "The Legacy of Freud", German proposes the thesis that Lacan who was able to capture the post-Freud 1920, ie after "Beyond the Pleasure Principle", managed to match the invention of psychoanalysis with a new political thinking, giving topical to that legacy. The law is not what is intended to be - important and selfless - it maintains a structural relationship with the death instinct. The superego is a disguised drive
Law since there is no opposition between power and drive. On the contrary, Freud teaches us, the heart of darkness is in every one of us. "(...) Writes German oppressors may fall but never oppression, emancipation may be the way to establishing a fierce love, love can hide a murderous hostility, hostility bonded strong love for those who hate and psychoanalyst himself unknowingly be the spokesman of obsessional neurosis that wants to play the impossible. "
All this changes the political version of the common man, a version which can be worth well as a description of the institutions. I quote again "So the true conservative force, which prevents radical transformation, which in addition supports the cultural hegemony of late capitalism, not only in the ideological apparatus, or in disciplinary techniques, or the unlimited extension of the networks of the goods. All this certainly does its job, but would be inadequate if not understood by Freud, a civilization always held in an essential way in the turbulent constitution of a subject. "And two pages later he adds that" if Freud never named civilization which would be relevant to the speaker, they said that if it is supported only on the satisfaction of a minority becomes untenable. "As stated in" The Future of an Illusion "cited by the German," a civilization neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence. " On the other hand, the update of the Freudian description entails recognizing the creative power of capitalist domination is not limited to the extraction of surplus disclosed by Marx but also - as the German states in a note written on the subject of the next Congress of the Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis - makes "the discourse of contemporary love nutr (a) the" for all "commercial individualism that pervades the state itself leaving only a "underdevelopment" piled on his bonus to enjoy for the excluded. "Let everyone construct their identity according to their mode of enjoyment, might be the watchword of our time against which appeals to contemporary philosophers are at least inane. Where do we take the appeal to the aesthetics of existence? How ironic stories yourself? To give us our own identity in a Use of Pleasure? Jorge German intellectual with a big broom to sweep all these proposals it considers prefreudianas.Todas still confined to the opposition power-expression that Freud dismounted.
In the debate with Laclau Jorge German revisit this issue proposes that "The capitalist discourse is characterized by an appropriation particular pleasure, which undermines the universal but is held as globalization. So let me at the time capitalist discourse compare with what Heidegger calls "art", ie a will that only loves itself and its implementation, which can no longer be controlled by anything or anyone and not find any community or political expression. " For the political-messianic pathos possible, find a foundation is necessary to be optimistic, keep hope alive, we must add the optimism of the will and pessimism of reason, says German. Part of his gloomy vision unfolds through a metaphor of fragmentation, of the cracks and fissures but increasingly finding themselves in the limitations of totalizing utopian conditions of the opening for political invention.
is that political-messianic pathos that inspires me more reserves. Not that I like, on the contrary I find it important even there, I can be sensitive to the kinship between the moment of rupture in the social and the individual decisions. Indeed the fact that a subject is structurally determined by what precedes it, will never erase the unfathomable decision that no structure can be removed. In the social domain is certainly not different. However I do not always need a break, possibly not even desirable.
want to be finalized, taking a matter to which German Jorge was sensitive and I think, though marginal in relation to the theme of the book is nevertheless important, I mean the policy of receiving - how to import knowledge, what is the politics of translation and editing, etc - Citing the beginning of the debate with Laclau in the bibliography of this author, Zizek, Butler, of Copjec, of thinkers who use Lacan to renew the left thinking there is a complete absence of English-speaking authors despite many years of transmission of Lacan's teaching in our language, indicating that the circulation system of universal knowledge does not seem to welcome the Lacanian English-speaking authors, German asks "Is it anything more than an anthropological fact? "We designed our language is rejected by the place from which states?" Maybe the existence of German very thing that introduces a change in this dynamic. I hope so. And now to conclude this presentation with my thanks to Jorge German for having elected me to do it, listed as a friend of hers, along with Mercedes de Francisco Javier Garmendia, I am a pleasure and an honor.

Laclau, dealing first of psychoanalysis, or rather, psychoanalysis is present in everything you say, talk about what you speak, showing its founding dignity in the discourse of German, but also deal with political, logic, grammar, philosophy and none of us could do it. The various texts are shown as a Lacanian orientation fundamental feature: all the formal operation beyond universalizing, are removed from the aggregation. Moreover, the reader will notice immediately that the prose of Jorge German not only escapes the division of knowledge but also the usual distinction of gender. In her own form of scientific reflexivity willingness to conceptual rigor and precision, exceptional clarity is accompanied by a poetic dimension, a freedom of style, finding lucky find. This dual allegiance to the rigor and momentum Lyric is a brand identity of your writing.
I highly recommend reading this book, in each of the trials found suggestive relationships, clarification texts revealing but probably more proud than the essay on "Freud's legacy," shining in the relationship of the law with great enjoyment and literary speaking, and the article "Why the empty signifiers are important for policy?" in a completely different genre because it is a transcript of a debate oral Ernesto Laclau in which attempts to draw the boundary the implementation of the Lacanian theory of the unconscious in the field of political philosophy, this limit is that the Lacanian perspective is not only show how an irreducible external vacuum conditions the symbolic building, but also how that gap is colonized by the body enjoys. In the Lacanian logic are not the same significant operations typical of the time pulse of the drive. The paradoxes of significant though constrained by reality impossible not to be confused with it.
the first letter in "The Legacy of Freud", German proposes the thesis that Lacan who was able to capture the post-Freud 1920, ie after "Beyond the Pleasure Principle", managed to match the invention of psychoanalysis with a new political thinking, giving topical to that legacy. The law is not what is intended to be - important and selfless - it maintains a structural relationship with the death instinct. The superego is a disguised drive
Law since there is no opposition between power and drive. On the contrary, Freud teaches us, the heart of darkness is in every one of us. "(...) Writes German oppressors may fall but never oppression, emancipation may be the way to establishing a fierce love, love can hide a murderous hostility, hostility bonded strong love for those who hate and psychoanalyst himself unknowingly be the spokesman of obsessional neurosis that wants to play the impossible. "
All this changes the political version of the common man, a version which can be worth well as a description of the institutions. I quote again "So the true conservative force, which prevents radical transformation, which in addition supports the cultural hegemony of late capitalism, not only in the ideological apparatus, or in disciplinary techniques, or the unlimited extension of the networks of the goods. All this certainly does its job, but would be inadequate if not understood by Freud, a civilization always held in an essential way in the turbulent constitution of a subject. "And two pages later he adds that" if Freud never named civilization which would be relevant to the speaker, they said that if it is supported only on the satisfaction of a minority becomes untenable. "As stated in" The Future of an Illusion "cited by the German," a civilization neither has nor deserves the prospect of a lasting existence. " On the other hand, the update of the Freudian description entails recognizing the creative power of capitalist domination is not limited to the extraction of surplus disclosed by Marx but also - as the German states in a note written on the subject of the next Congress of the Lacanian School of Psychoanalysis - makes "the discourse of contemporary love nutr (a) the" for all "commercial individualism that pervades the state itself leaving only a "underdevelopment" piled on his bonus to enjoy for the excluded. "Let everyone construct their identity according to their mode of enjoyment, might be the watchword of our time against which appeals to contemporary philosophers are at least inane. Where do we take the appeal to the aesthetics of existence? How ironic stories yourself? To give us our own identity in a Use of Pleasure? Jorge German intellectual with a big broom to sweep all these proposals it considers prefreudianas.Todas still confined to the opposition power-expression that Freud dismounted.
In the debate with Laclau Jorge German revisit this issue proposes that "The capitalist discourse is characterized by an appropriation particular pleasure, which undermines the universal but is held as globalization. So let me at the time capitalist discourse compare with what Heidegger calls "art", ie a will that only loves itself and its implementation, which can no longer be controlled by anything or anyone and not find any community or political expression. " For the political-messianic pathos possible, find a foundation is necessary to be optimistic, keep hope alive, we must add the optimism of the will and pessimism of reason, says German. Part of his gloomy vision unfolds through a metaphor of fragmentation, of the cracks and fissures but increasingly finding themselves in the limitations of totalizing utopian conditions of the opening for political invention.
is that political-messianic pathos that inspires me more reserves. Not that I like, on the contrary I find it important even there, I can be sensitive to the kinship between the moment of rupture in the social and the individual decisions. Indeed the fact that a subject is structurally determined by what precedes it, will never erase the unfathomable decision that no structure can be removed. In the social domain is certainly not different. However I do not always need a break, possibly not even desirable.
want to be finalized, taking a matter to which German Jorge was sensitive and I think, though marginal in relation to the theme of the book is nevertheless important, I mean the policy of receiving - how to import knowledge, what is the politics of translation and editing, etc - Citing the beginning of the debate with Laclau in the bibliography of this author, Zizek, Butler, of Copjec, of thinkers who use Lacan to renew the left thinking there is a complete absence of English-speaking authors despite many years of transmission of Lacan's teaching in our language, indicating that the circulation system of universal knowledge does not seem to welcome the Lacanian English-speaking authors, German asks "Is it anything more than an anthropological fact? "We designed our language is rejected by the place from which states?" Maybe the existence of German very thing that introduces a change in this dynamic. I hope so. And now to conclude this presentation with my thanks to Jorge German for having elected me to do it, listed as a friend of hers, along with Mercedes de Francisco Javier Garmendia, I am a pleasure and an honor.
