Concept Vlog 1 - Jouissance
Added 2020-09-19 23:10:14 +0000 UTCI thought I would experiment with a "concept blog" as some more supplemental video content. I'll keep it up if it's interesting.

That's some mad jouissance

I've barely scratched the surface, and I still need to learn what of Freud's original theories were rejected or adapted into more modern psychoanalytic theory, amongst other things. But your vid definitely kickstarted my interest properly. Also, like your other Lacan vids, I can tell this is going to take listening to a few times again before the concepts sink in a bit more properly. No wonder you keep saying that Lacan's one of the most difficult theorists out there. A bit scared of even trying to read his stuff, ngl So jouissance is what is experienced during schadenfreude or vicarious pleasure as well? Also re a dirty joke, aren't you gaining the appreciation and approval from the people you're telling it to? Especially if maybe there's a person you're attracted to in your audience? So maybe it can be an attempt to fulfill more than one desire with one action, in certain circumstances?

2020-12-04 00:59:10 +0000 UTCGiven that this channel is geared toward educating the layperson without dumbing it down, I would really like to see you musing on good foundational texts that us non-academic folk can read. Giving myself as an example, I'm familiar with basic philosophical concepts, like if somebody asked me what an episode of philosophize this! on any given big historical philosopher would be, I'd do an OK job giving a rundown. I own some books to the tune of "WTF is critical theory - an introduction" that I've half read. The rest of what I know basically comes from you and like 5 other youtubers, and random lectures posted on YT, Zizek ramblings, and a smattering of articles and readers from the few elective classes I've managed to take in my filmmaking course. I could be way off, but I imagine that I'm a good representation of your target audience. I have this question of "Where the fuck do I begin if I want to get serious about reading rather than listening to podcasts etc", and I imagine I'm not the only one feeling a bit lost. I think the conversational tone of the blog would be perfect for exploring that. Thanks for doing what you do!

2020-10-15 16:38:16 +0000 UTCDid you talk about Impossible Exchange in your Symbolic Exchange video, I can't recall. That might be something. Or maybe do a few vlogs in the psychoanalytic vein and then move onto another "general" area.

2020-09-26 01:19:38 +0000 UTCI'd be interested in a little chat about the sublime object, and how it, "occupies the sacred/forbidden place of jouissance", how this object is something that's unmediatable. Moreover, how this relates to Zizek/Marx's critique of ideology! I've struggled through Zizek's Sublime Object of Ideology for one read, but am always returning to it with questions, and confusion! Thanks for the content, best theory channel on youtube :)

2020-09-21 06:43:04 +0000 UTCI liked it! Seems like the vlog format you used would go well with more examples from movies/tv like mad men

2020-09-20 06:43:35 +0000 UTCSomething on Baudrillard is always welcome. I feel like his ontology is always obscured by his rhetorical/polemical flourishes
