lacan and blogs
one thing i really learned in my lacan class is how subject tries to enter the symbolic order. we are born ito a language that we did not create and with a name that someone (tradition) gave us. there is no unique word for us to claim as our own. but we desperately need to, want to enter into the symbolic order. the interactive TV shows (like the ones where the audience votes for certain opinion) and blogs are a way for us to believe that we are inserting ourselves in the symbolic order and claiming a certain space of our own.
of course, the question remains if this is just an illusion or does it in fact give us our own autonomous space in the social order where we can resist..
so much for intellectualism, now is the time to go for a walk in the sun.
