| − | === The formation of the subject ===
| |
| | | | |
| − | Žižek writes about [[identities]]—his work borrows extensively from the explanation of identity formation offered by the French psychoanalyst [[Jacques Lacan]]. Lacan's account is articulated in terms of three concepts: [[the Symbolic]], [[the Imaginary]] and [[the Real]]. Anxiety and desire—and similar processes in the realm of the invisible—generate meaning as well as guide action in constructing ''reality.'' The ''Symbolic'' (e.g., the social order as is constructed out of the signifying system) is also called the ''big Other'' by Lacan, in the sense that the big Other organizes and deploys the ''symbolic order'' while itself remaining excluded from it. The universal reveals itself in the particular, in the [[symptom]], as for example the verbal slip for [[Freud]] reveals some actual truth.

| | | | |
| − | Since [[the unconscious is structured like a language]] (''comme une langue''), it will orient itself towards desire in two aspects: first, the objects of desire, which is called the "goal" of desire in Lacan's Seminar XI, and, the unconscious, or the mechanism of desire in itself, which is called the "aim" of desire and deemed the more important aspect in the process of desire by Lacan himself. Objects are mainly contingent, yet they are supposed to find their place inside the Symbolic realm to be desirable to us (and thus to make themselves "objects" to us). In other words, the Symbolic decides what is desirable and undesirable to us; while the desirable objects can provide us with temporary pleasure, the latter is both the remains and surplus of Symbolization, i.e., the realm of jouissance and of the Real.

| − | These objects constitute the [[symptom]] of the human being; but they can also become the opposite: its [[fetish]]. Žižek writes of the fetish that it is effectively the counterpart to the symptom; operating as a kind of sham life, it structures our entire life in order to support it. ''The fetish is the embodiment of a lie that enables us to endure an unbearable truth'' (Slavoj Žižek 2000). This is the real itself (in the Lacanian sense), an isolated object (the Lacanian ''objet petit a'') whose fascinating and meaningful presence guarantees the structural real, the social order. This real enables one to gain a distance from everyday reality: one introduces an object that has no place inside it, that cannot be named or otherwise symbolized - the photo collage of the beloved in the film "''[[The Truman Show]]''," for example. What Žižek means is that every symbolic structure must contain an element that embodies the moment of its impossibility, around which it is organized. This is both impossible and real (in its effect) at the same time. The ''symptom'' on the other hand is the return of the repressed truth in a different form.

| − | Žižek explains this ''[[objet petit a]]''—the ''[[MacGuffin]]''—in the following way: "MacGuffin is ''objet petit a'' pure and simple: the lack, the remainder of the real that sets in motion the symbolic movement of interpretation, a hole at the center of the symbolic order, the mere appearance of some secret to be explained, interpreted, etc." (''Love thy symptom as thyself''). | + | [[Category:Philosophy|Žižek, Slavoj]] |

| − | ====The Real====
| + | __NOEDITSECTION__ |
| − | | |
| − | Here [[the Real]] is a rather enigmatic term, and it is not to be equated with reality. For our reality is symbolically constructed; the real, however, is a hard kernel, the trauma that cannot be symbolized i.e. expressed in words. The real has no positive existence; it exists only as barred. "Place the cover on top of the ark and put in the ark the Testimony that I will give you."{{fact}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | Not everything in reality can be unmasked as fiction; only the many things - indeterminate points - that have to do with social antagonism, life, death, and sexuality. These we have to endure if we are to symbolize them. The real is not a sort of reality behind reality, but rather the void or empty places that render reality incomplete and inconsistent. It is the screen of the phantasm, the very screen itself that distorts our perception of reality. "And he made a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer;" The triad of the symbolic/imaginary/real reproduces itself within each individual part of the subdivision. There are also three modalities of the real:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The ''symbolic real'' : the signifier reduced to a meaningless formula (as in [[quantum physics]], which like every science grasps at the real but only produces barely comprehensible concepts)
| |
| − | * The ''real real'': a horrific thing, that which conveys the sense of [[Horror (emotion)|horror]] in horror films
| |
| − | * The ''imaginary real'': an unfathomable something that permeates things as a trace of the sublime. This form of the real becomes perceptible in the film [[The Full Monty]], for instance, in the fact that in stripping the unemployed protagonists disrobe completely; in other words, through this extra gesture of ''voluntary'' degradation something else, of the order of the sublime, becomes visible.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Psychoanalysis teaches that (postmodern) reality is precisely not to be seen as just a narrative, but rather that the client must recognize, endure, and fictionalize the hard kernel of the real in his own fiction.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====The symbolic====
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[The Symbolic]] is inaugurated with the acquisition of language; it is mutually relational. Thus it is that only he is a king towards whom others behave as underlings. At the same time, there always remains a certain distance towards the real (except in [[paranoia]]): not only is the beggar who thinks he is a king a madman, but so is the king who really believes he is a king. For effectively the latter has only the ''symbolic mandate'' of a king.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The real symbolic is the signifier reduced to a meaningless formula
| |
| − | * The symbolic symbolic qua speech and meaningful language itself.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The (monitor-) screen as a means of communication in cyberspace: as an interface it refers us to a symbolic mediation of communication, to a chasm between whoever speaks and the "position of speaking" itself (i.e. the nickname, the email address). ''I'' never ''in fact'' coincide exactly with the signifier, I do not invent myself; rather my virtual existence was in a certain respect already co-founded with the advent of [[cyberspace]]. Here one must come to terms with a certain insecurity, but one which cannot be resolved in postmodern, contingent simulacra. Here too, as in social life, symbolic networks circulate around kernels of the real. This is one answer to Žižek's (oft-practiced [[inversion]] of the) question: It is not "What can we learn from life about cyberspace, but rather what can we learn from cyberspace about life?" These inversions serve [[theoretical psychoanalysis]]: i.e. contrary to applied psychoanalysis, it does not merely seek to analyze works of art and make what is threatening comprehensible, but rather to create a new perspective on the ordinary, to renew a sense of the strangeness of everyday life, and by way of the object to further develop the theory.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Symbolic networks are our (social) reality.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====The imaginary====
| |
| − | | |
| − | The imaginary is located at the level of the subject's relation to itself. It is the gaze of the Other in the [[mirror stage]], the illusory mis-recognition, as Lacan concludes citing [[Arthur Rimbaud]]: ''I is an other'' (''Je est un autre''). The imaginary is the fundamental fantasy that is inaccessible to our psychicological experience and raises up the phantasmal screen in which we find objects of desire. Here we can also divide the imaginary into a real (the phantasm that assumes the place of the real), an imaginary (the image/screen itself that serves as a lure), and a symbolic imaginary thinking. The imaginary can never be definitively grasped, since any discourse on it will always already be located in the symbolic.
| |
| − | | |
| − | All the levels are interconnected, according to Lacan (from the Seminar XX on), in a kind of [[Borromean rings|Borromean link]], i.e. as three rings are linked together such that should any one of these be disconnected all the remaining ones would also come apart.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Postmodernism ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | One theme in particular that Žižek addresses is [[postmodernism]], which confronts [[psychoanalysis]] with new questions. By virtue of the demise of a patriarchally structured society and firmly established, authoritarian models of order, the [[Oedipus complex]]—one of the cornerstones of psychoanalysis—begins to falter.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Ideology]] constitutes itself, so to speak, from both sides of the coin: both from the values openly proclaimed by a political system and also its so-called hidden underside or dirty secret - that is, an ideology's implicitly deployed values and premises, which however must remain unspoken in order for an ideology to function and reproduce itself. To all these ideologically determined, [[phantasmal]] forms of lying or evasion, Žižek opposes the goal of psychoanalysis, which consists of traversing the fantasy, passing through the field of the deceptive image whose symptomatic formation brings about the construction of the subject, and to forge ahead to the kernel of enjoyment. A so-called ''authentic act'' destroys the phantasm.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Ideology]] is the distortion of non-ideology, the utopian moment ([[Fredric Jameson]]). This non-ideological component of our longing should be fully respected. In other words, the longing for community itself should not be regarded as proto-fascistic, or even its root - it becomes that only in its fascistic articulation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In our current post-ideological times, ideology functions on the basis of an inner distance, where the symbolic mandate is not taken seriously; e.g., a father today is often one who ironically denigrates himself, together with the absurd fact itself of being a father today.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Žižek follows [[Louis Althusser]] (among others) in jettisoning the Marxist equation: "ideology=false" consciousness. Ideology, to all intents and purposes, ''is'' consciousness. Ideology does not "mask" the real—one cannot achieve true consciousness. This being the case, post-ideological postmodern "knowingness"—the wink wink nudge nudge cynicism and irony of postmodern cultural production—does not reveal the truth, the real, the hard kernel. Knowing that we are being "lied" to is hardly the stuff of revolution when ideology isn't, and never has been, simply a matter of consciousness (cynicism, irony, and so on), of subject positions, but is the very stuff of everyday praxis itself. The cynics and ironists, not to mention the deconstructionists et. al., may KNOW that reality is an "ideological construction"—some have even read their Lacan and Derrida—but in their daily practice, caught up in an apparently unalterable world of exchange-values (capital), they do their part to sustain that construction in any case. As Marx would say, it is their very life process that is ideological, what they know, or what they think they know, being neither here nor there. The postmodern cultural artifact—the "critique," the "incredulity"—is itself merely a symptom/commodity/fetish. Thus has capital commodified even the cynicism that purports to unmask its "reality," to "emancipate."
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Politicization ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Today, in the aftermath of the ''end of ideology'', Žižek is critical of the way political decisions are justified; the way, for example, reductions in social programs are sometimes presented as an apparently 'objective' necessity, though this is no longer a valid basis for political discourse. He sees the current ''talk about greater citizen involvement'' or ''political goals circumscribed within the rubric of the cultural'' as having little effectiveness as long as no substantial measures are devised for the long run. But measures such as the ''limitation of the freedom of capital'' and the ''subordination of the manufacturing processes to a mechanism of social control''—these Žižek calls a ''radical re-politicization of the economy'' (''A Plea for Intolerance'').
| |
| − | | |
| − | So at present Slavoj Žižek is arguing for a politicization of the economy. For indeed the tolerant multicultural impulse, as the dogma of today's liberal society, suppresses the crucial question: How can we reintroduce into the current conditions of globalization the genuine space of the political?? He also argues in favor of a ''politicization of politics'' as a counter balance to [[post-politics]]. In the area of political decision making in a democratic context he criticizes the two-party system that is dominant in some countries as a political form of a ''post-political era'', as a manifestation of a possibility of choice that in reality does not exist.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Politicization is thus for him present whenever ''a particular demand begins to function as a representative of the impossible universal''. Žižek sees [[class struggle]] not as localized objective determinations, as a social position vis-à-vis capital but rather as lying in a ''radically subjective'' position: the proletariat is the living, ''embodied contradiction''. Only through [[particularism]] in the political struggle can any [[universalism]] emerge. Fighting for workers interests often appears discredited today (''indeed in this domain the workers themselves only wish to implement their own interests, they fight only for themselves and not for the whole''). The problem is how to foster a politicizing politics in the age of [[post-politics]]. Particular demands, acting as a ''metaphorical condensation'', would thus aim at something transcendent, a genuine reconstruction of the social framework. Žižek sees the real political conflict as being that between an ordered structure of society and those without a place in it, the ''part that has no part'' in anything yet causes the structure to falter, because it refers to i.e. embodies an ''empty principle'' of the ''universal''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The very fact that a society is not easily divided into classes, that there is no ''simple structural trait'' for it, that for instance the ''middle class'' is also intensely fought over by a [[populism]] of the right, is a sign of this struggle otherwise ''class antagonism would be completely symbolized'' and no longer both impossible and real at the same time (''impossible/real'').

| − | | |
| − | Žižek's notoriety in academic circles has increased rapidly, especially since he began publishing widely in English. Many hundreds of academics have addressed aspects of Žižek's work in professional papers.[http://scholar.google.com/scholar?num=50&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=slavoj+zizek&btnG=Search] Inevitably, in the course of such scholarly discussion, many other thinkers differ with aspects of Žižek's conceptual approach or specific arguments.
