Changes

The space of pure [[death drive ]] without [[desire]], between [[symbolic ]] death and actual death.  Lacan associates this space with an unconditional, insistent [[demand]], like the demand from the ghost of [[Hamlet]]'s father insisting that he be revenged. In pop [[popular culture]], this position is often taken up by the living dead (ghosts, vampires, zombies, etc.), by, as [[Slavoj Zizek ]] puts it, "the [[fantasy ]] of a person who does not want to stay dead but returns again and again to pose a threat to the living."<ref>(Looking Awry 22)</ref>
