Lacan Pinches a Torus (and So Should We)

This silent video is a summary of a study session on Lacan's difficult writing, "L'Étourdit," Part II ("The Second Turn"). This stuff is not for beginners, but it does aim to use intuition to understand topological ideas, outcomes, and ultimate relevance. A narrative is being developed for these animations, and hopefully there will be a linked essay in the future.

    this is some tough stuff. im new to this so if you dont mind, I got a silly question. so lacan is saying that somehow these topological concepts apply to how our unconscious is structured?

    Yes. The Unconscious is "STRUCTURED like a language" and "structure" is the key term. Lacan says the structure is topological. We have to immerse these to see them, but that's not the same as their structure. Look at the fundamental polygon to see how the structure works. I find it difficult myself, don't feel bad! The Real (and topology as structure) resist being described. We should feel bad!
