It really, really is. So rich and dense but also surprisingly clear for him. (Maybe one person should leave a reply to this comment every 5 years to keep the pattern going)

Zizek talking about Yu-gi-oh, never knew i needed that in my life, but i did

This video ends not with the applause of the people in the room,but with zizek ending his speech,and saying "...ok i talked too much."

"... Lacan's achievement: He reasserts the ontological status of sexual difference. The problem is: How can he -- in a way -- re-sexualize the Universe, without regressing into a pre-scientific mythology...?"

formulas of sexuation start at 18:20

great upload many thanks!

I have noticed when he does lectures in his own language it actually sheds so much more light on his concepts, I think you are correct in saying it has to do with his english.

Exercise some self-control and hear it all the way through to the end-Slavoj's sense makes most sense in discursive macroscopic arcs... which means he will contagiously infect your youtube recommendations.

Eight years later, October 2020, Bolivia is in fact displaying that the ancient and ultimate modern is functioning much better than the fictional 'modern' into which we in the west were born in the late 1940s and 50s. Class antagonism has indeed produced a semblant that functions well for the quality of life of the majority of the people who live in the region.

this is very good.

We can distingish what is fiction and what is reality. But if we take away the fiction we lose reality itself.

1:45:46 Crazy how he brings this up presumably *right* before scientists actually literally discovered the Higgs Boson (on July 4, 2012). At any rate, this lecture was posted on KZread in September of that year, so I’m assuming he delivered it at least a few months before then. Dang, pretty wild :)

Yes, now it is, precisely under the title you mentioned 🎉

name of the book?

The Hopi (in what is now the Hopi Reservation in northeastern Arizona), according to Alice Schlegel, have as a "gender ideology ... one of female superiority, and it operated within a social actuality of sexual equality."[6] According to LeBow (based on Schlegel's work), in the Hopi, "gender roles ... are egalitarian .... [and] [n]either sex is inferior."[7] LeBow concluded that Hopi women "participate fully in ... political decision-making."[8] According to Schlegel, "the Hopi no longer live as they are described here"[9] and "the attitude of female superiority is fading".[9] Schlegel said the Hopi "were and still are matrilinial"[10] and "the household ... was matrilocal".[10] Schlegel explains why there was female superiority as that the Hopi believed in "life as the highest good ... [with] the female principle ... activated in women and in Mother Earth ... as its source"[11] and that the Hopi "were not in a state of continual war with equally matched neighbors"[12] and "had no standing army"[12] so that "the Hopi lacked the spur to masculine superiority"[12] and, within that, as that women were central to institutions of clan and household and predominated "within the economic and social systems (in contrast to male predominance within the political and ceremonial systems)",[12] the Clan Mother, for example, being empowered to overturn land distribution by men if she felt it was unfair,[11] since there was no "countervailing ... strongly centralized, male-centered political structure".[11] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_roles_among_the_indigenous_peoples_of_North_America

It is, I think, typical of european thinkers to undervalue the social organization of the indigenous people of N, S and Central America. Here is expressed the conceit of 'modernity' forgetting that the surviving cultures of the past were well grounded and 'modern' for thousands of years before the brutal arrival of european capitalism in the 1400s ad. I base this position on extensive study of west coast indigenous systems of life. The determination of europeans to destroy previous existing civilizations has failed, thanks to the men and women who understand the value of their world view and see the 'empty otherness' (ie. lack of concern for the natural systems which underpin our survival) of the european project in the so-called "new world."

I'm trying to comprehend sexual universality. How can a subjectively deviant sexuality find peace with fiction and reality, in order to fulfill intimate relationships. These differentials may be empathized and accepted, but, may not be mutually expressed in reality.

Aaaa yes Pokemon cards a classic example of Kantian logic with its set rules in visible and invisible variables, but if i do say so i much prefer the speculative mixed Hegelian ontology of Yu-Gi-Oh where every card is its own let of laws and objectives. ... In essence Pokemon is for evil authoritarian totalitarians and Yu-Gi-Oh is good radical and based, and anyone whom plays pokemon is dumb and we cut there heads off lol!

Just going to hear this speech-have not done it yet (my guesse as ti its content;) This analysis is timeless so to speak, sorry guys (n gals) your roles change as "time goes by" - I think Hegel is right and I think sex changes (is different in different eras) Try finding eras of femininity (1700s), before that masculinity, and after as well. You can read my stuff at Medium (text called You are Crazy I know) by J Andersson

...the whole thing about, there is no sexual relationship, and then, .. the symbolic of gender, and how it is used is in itself wrong. Need to understand that... According to Lacan....and how to change the thought today?

😁🤗 i just saw a video where zizek says that lacan's concept of femininity is divided between his own personal battle of either interpreting the discourse through kant or hegel: in kant he is more mystical and soulful, using the thing in itself, and by using hegel as a lens, he is more in a lost realm.. it was on a todd mcgowan video. i think the discourses are amazing but i have to admit ..its so fun to hear zizek go at it. 😁💛💥

Man and woman shouldn't have as much weight as they do, all humans are the same apart from a few pieces of physical matter, to put it cold and scientifically. I feel like Zizek is close, but is missing the point in that the difference between the sexes is meaningless, it can be reversed either way and it's not a strong binary, there are many humans who associate with neither. Both ideas of man and woman are virtual, some people have brown hair some have blonde, some people have one type of sexual organ, some people have another. it's just heavily enforced to choose one or the other, when really it is meaningless when it comes down to love.

2:06:06 "What you cannot say is that 'not woman is man'-that if you deny woman you are back at man. I think that there is an excess in woman-sexual difference is deeply asymmetrical. Which is again (just to make it clear) I think it is not some kind of primordial dualism. The original structure is precisely like that of coffee without milk-there are no two sexes. There is one sex plus something, which is neither."

Love Zizek, but in this lecture he's at his most confused and confusing, by far. I guess it has to do with his English, because precise formal logic requires precise language. At any rate, I vastly prefer other lectures of his, where he's much more clear.

This sounds like gibberish.

Imagine looking at your life from hell, does it get more gibberish than that?

He is so wrong when it comes to his entire "woman is unman" point. Female is always the prototype of a species and male is the abstraction/perversion. Look at bees: drones serve only the purpose of flying semen carryier then die. If you want to see the interesting parts of bee life you have to study the females. Look at humans. We are all first women physiologically then the testosteron forms a sack out of the would be labia and the would be clitoris grows on a stick. There is no species that is an exception to this by definition. Female is always the nature of a species and male an abstraction. Man are unwoman and woman are not man. Not the other way around. Another example for this is this argumentation in itself. A woman does not have to justify her existance by putting everything into categories. A man has to prove himself beyond semen carryier and find an artifical meaning of life. Thats why female philosophy is much more pragmatic and real world oriented. Only men need these fantasies. I say this as a non feminist man.

Yeah you are absolutely a non feminist man 👌 this is clear from the sentiment because it gives all character strength to the man who has to prove his worth as opposed to woman who gets to be born with worth. So all glory goes to the men in this perspective. 😮
