What is Repression? Introduction to Lacan's Theory (Part I)

[bahruzsamadov]

This is brilliant! The best Lacan channel on YouTube. Thanks a lot for your job!

[mmmhorsesteaks]

I wish i could repress the background music, sheesh!

[HuzaifBhatbhat-ydhf]

I literally lmao at 12:08, that "No, says Lacan again"... 😂
Thank u so much for this masterpiece video...

A very important note for non-English speakers. The term translated with "repression" is "Verdrangung". Not knowing this can be very confusing: for example in Italian "repressione" is used to translate what in English is "suppression", while what in English is "repression" in Italian is translated as "rimozione". Always refer back to original German words used by Freud!

you have no idea how much we appreciate these videos of yours. please keep it up

[miralupa]

Great talk, but the music really takes away from its communication I feel.

[digetic]

Excellent presentation of difficult material. As a student of Lacan for past 30 years, I am so glad to have discovered your channel.

[havadatequila]

Thanks. May I say the music track is a bit too loud and competes with your narration?

12:28 *It speaks* “The words we use mean more than we mean in using them.” - Lacan

[waneck]

Great content! Youtube needs more Lacan! Keep the videos coming!

[NevetsTSmith]

This is perfect. I've been reading Zizek, and I just picked up The Paralaz View. But in wanting a better understanding of his fundamentals this is great timing for a Lacan introduction.

[ravenmoore]

Would of loved to listen but that music is ridiculously loud

[jayaramj]

Really good. The best lacan channel here..

[davidlyton]

Anyone else realising Lacanian psychoanalysis is on the verge of coming a topic of wider academic discussion again! It’s great. I am writing an MA theory looking at closely at Lacan and Foucault to see if there are points of convergence in thief theory’s around the current rise in mental health disorders. If anyone reading this knows of any sources or has any insight let me know! Also if anyone wants any reading recommendations on either from me comment as well! Have been tackling lacan for almost 3 years now.

I've always wanted a channel like this, A+ work.

3:26 Lacan's question

4:10 The substitutive

4:45 "Jolted awake' and displacement.

[mitchellmcgill]

Such high quality stuff. You’re my hero.

[LukePalmer]

I really enjoy these videos. For what it's worth, I don't know anyone who can read one thing and listen to the another (especially words) at the same time. I keep having to pause the video to read, and then back it up so I can resume the thread of what you were talking about. It would be nice if you would read the quote on the screen before paraphrasing it, so I know where to put my attention. Either that or just get rid of the onscreen text (except citations).

[zaheerawan]

This is remarkable
You have further raised my interest in understanding Lacan's theory
I am especially thankful sir !

[marwanzeineddine]

I wish the music volume would be lowered. It’s distracting and gives it a misplaced dramatic effect. It should perhaps only be used to signal changes in topics and muted otherwise.
