“Let me begin with a brief introduction to the [[notion]] of the so-called “big other” as the [[symbolic]] substance of [[being]], as it were [[the symbolic]] [[space]] within which we [[human]] beings dwell. [[People]] usually [[think]] [[about]] symbolic rules regulating [[social]] interaction, but I think it is much more productive to focus on [[another]] aspect of what [[Lacan]] calls the “big other”. The intricate cobweb of unwritten implicit rules. Their never explicitly stated, if you [[state]] [[them]] explicitly you even usually commit some kind of crime or violation. This is what always interest me, how what holds communities together are not [[explicit]] rules but the unwritten rules which are even prohibited to announce publicly.
