the "anti-language" of the other

edward said: palestinians have a right to narrate [their heterogenous identity/ radically subjective experience]

luce irigaray: parler femme (women benefit from narrating their experience in their own terms)

a common response to the hostility of western imperialism is to reject the "masculine urge for coherence" (which can also be understood as a rejection of the cartesian method; that is, purified "reason," homogenous identity, absolute objectivity)

a common response to trauma, one which has been proven to have healing potential, is lamentation - a poetic exercise in which a subject composes, formally or informally, a narrative of their own sadness.

thesis: liberation is in the creation of the liberated self through discourse

[yourbleedingh3art]

Wow this makeup is polarizing me

[yourbleedingh3art]

Lacan's idea is that the self is constructed purely in discourse; and this discourse begins when we have our first social experience - our birth. We are born into a culture with taboos and prejudices against how we should act towards our "network of kinship relations;" how we should act towards our father & mother, and how they should act towards us; what they should and shouldn't say to us; and what their actions should mean to us.

butler interprets lacan as portraying our birth as a time of introduction to and influence by the incest taboo. lacan considers the history of a social stigmatization of incest creates a culture that indicates a child's sexual relationship to their parent (and vice-versa, parent to child) should remain in a position of stasis wherein sexual attraction to one another is always wrong and therefore to be forbidden, hidden, repressed, maligned, or otherwise destroyed.

YET, though our birth is our first social experience, our life begins sometime before our birth... thus Lacan's ideas can be understood, in Berg's reconstruction of them, as identifying the mother's body with a "precultural state;" a time before taboo.

Lacan is responding indirectly to Heraclitus (becoming)/Parmenides(being) ? I think Lacan romanticizes the stasis of presocial life because it seemed to have an objective meaning - not non-meaning, as Berg suggests below. Presocial life also seems to be a metaphor, a romanticization, and a representation of the "fantasy of oneness."

lacan was influenced by the debates of heraclitus and parmenides, by the cartesian shift towards the idea of "absolute objectivity." all these ideas are subject to irigarayan criticism as ideas of Western discourse, "all" of which "presents a certain isomorphism with the masculine sex … the privilege of unity, form of the self, of the the specularisable, of erection."

[yourbleedingh3art]

here is the part where i begin to feel i really can put derrida and lacan and irigaray in conversation with descartes . i feel that the cartesian strive for absolute objectivity is an attempt to satisfy the longing for transcendence by a giving of primacy to reason; "pure reason" becomes the signifier

[yourbleedingh3art]

lacan is falling prey to strict dualisms that the masculine employ for "coherence"
