• Borromean Knots, OOO, and Social and Political Theory

  
  Larval Subjects . — Authority: 561
  Object-oriented social and political theory can be illustrated with respect to Lacan’s famous Borromean knots. It will be recalled that the peculiar quality of the Borromean knot is that no one of the rings is directly tied to the other, but if you cut one of the rings the other two slip away.

• Tumpak!

  
  (Mis)readings — Authority: 107
  [A] subject who writes love-letters actually does not address the beloved but writes letters to none other than himself.

  In response to my post on Nature and Its Discontents , Joseph C. Goodson posts a terrific comment on what he sees as the significance of OOO/SR. Joseph writes : Precisely.

• Nature and Its Discontents

  
  Larval Subjects . — Authority: 561
  Both Ben and Austin have posts up responding to some claims Zizek makes about nature. Ben writes : For Zizek nature must be non-all or barred, but this nature never goes beyond the range of the earth. Zizek those go on to argue that the appearence of the whole in nature, that the very possibility of ...

• The Uneasiness in Nature

  
  Naught Thought — Authority: 403
  Zizek’s Unbehagen In Der Nature addresses current discussions surrounding ecology and nature. Right off the bat however Zizek’s conceptualization of nature is limited – seeming to be nature as it appears to us, nature as we can manipulate it.

  Perverse Egalitarianism — Authority: 471
  Here’s an interesting piece from Global-e: One day, way back in the 20 th century, Michel Foucault, Jacques Lacan, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Roland Barthes sat under an equatorial tree, living in their own imagined primitive past, discussing Global Studies. “What,” asked Barthes, “might the four of us ...

• Slavoj Žižek on “The Death of God” – AAR Annual Meeting 2009

  
  GypsyBandito - CT Moore — Authority: 114
  A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching a talk by Slavoj Žižek . He’s kind of like the Werner Herzog of continental philosophy (a Laconian to be exact) and also happens to be a professor at the Institute for Sociology, Ljubljana, and at the European Graduate School. Zizek gave his talk at the 2009 ...

• UPDATED: Harman’s New Diagrams

  
  Larval Subjects . — Authority: 561
  Oh man, I’m a sucker for diagrams of any sort. Here’s a sample from Graham’s next book : It’s extremely cruel to provide a sample of an alluring and enigmatic diagram without providing a commentary on what it does or how it works. UPDATE: Harman provides a brief commentary on how he’s thinking ...

• Monstrous Futurity

  
  Naught Thought — Authority: 403
  Drugs in Milk makes a few notes on my Lady Gaga post which points out LG’s articulation of the monstrousness of fame-as-drive. The strange repetitious motion of the drive (the pleasure of the mouth moving and not the food within it, not the object within it following Zupancic) describes the function of fame ...
