Chris’s Reviews > Subjectivity and Otherness: A Philosophical Reading of Lacan > Status Update

"Subtractivity". I'm over this book.

I dunno, something about philosophers posing problems that don't really exist only to come up with solutions that aren't helpful. Nitpicking Lacan's process, well, I dunno.

The most convoluted account of the Oedipal complex I've ever read. I could explain this shit much easier using Back To The Future.

This is turning into a jargon heavy shitshow wherein Chiesa unpacks a bunch of Lacan and produces some dubious conclusions.

Chiesa makes a really sloppy claim about the "dis-alienating" power of "full speech" in the Rome Discourse. No points awarded.

Some really shitty use Hegel, but otherwise okay reading. It's entertaining if you pretend Lacan wrote this and refers to himself in the third person.
