On the difficulty of defining Lacan's concept of jouissance

[yorgunherakles]

lacan'a göre bilinçdışı, varoluşumuzun bizden kaçan ve üzerinde hiçbir denetime sahip olamadığımız parçasıydı, fakat aynı zamanda bastırılan duygu ve arzularımızı yöneten de oydu.

It literally took Odysseus’ epic cunning and survival instincts for Sean Bean to not die in a movie

Watching 'Troy' is such a joy- you can just sit back, relax and scream 'TOXIC MASCULINITY!!' as you watch

Troy (2004)

[iliadfacts]

Troy (2004) should be considered a violation of international law, but I will say that there was some deeply inspired casting that occurred during the making of that movie. Orlando Bloom as Paris? Eric Bana as Hector? Sean Bean as Odysseus??? Literally the only praise that I could give the film. And although I hate the characterization of Agamemnon, Brian Cox being casted as him is something that becomes funnier and funnier to me as I watch more and more Succession. You’d better be smelling your fucking armpit, Achilles.

I kinda want to see another The Odyssey movie, staring Sean Bean, as a sequel to Troy (2004). The bad decision of making a straight Achilles couldn't change the fact that the cast was amazing. Also Sean Bean goes really well with unfortunate characters.

As Mom and Dad have reminded him, he's got more duties at this party than providing a soundtrack.

"That's just such a creative use of ice cream!" "I just know you're going to have a bomber life!"

"A little dry, but at least it's not pizza. Where's Helen?"

"The guys won't mind if I eat the last of these cookies, will they?"

"And it wasn't the sun!" "Neither is this!"

"Do you mind? People are eating in here!"

This is the status right now (we have completed the competition, everyone go home)

Lacan's objet a

Closing on 4/15/23 is Sean Landers’ exhibition Adrift at Petzel Gallery in NYC.

From the gallery’s press release-

Featuring over twenty new oil paintings by Landers, this largely allegorical exhibition illustrates the complexity of artistic mortality using four protagonists: dogs—depicted in single portraits and alone in rowboats unmoored at sea; lighthouses; the ocean; and sperm whale skeletons at rest on ocean shorelines. Each subject represents the dichotomy of freedom and trepidation involved in the act of releasing art to an unknown fate. “…a bit of the artist remains in their paintings, so in that way, a painting is like an artist adrift in time and space,” says Landers in an interview with writer Johanna Fateman for the exhibition catalogue.

A cornerstone of inspiration for Adrift is Landers’ long-term interest in the work of American painter Winslow Homer (b. 1836—d. 1920) and in particular Homer’s ocean paintings. The vast and unpredictable ocean marks time and space, a preeminent symbol used throughout the years in Landers’ paintings and art history. Homer’s style is emulated by Landers in paintings throughout the exhibition including Northeaster, Summer Squall, and Yellow Dog.

Each of these subjects can be seen as a character existing within the vicissitudes of artistic practice. The dogs, at attention and alone in their boats, symbolize the vulnerability of art against an unknown future. These works also parallel Joachim Patinir’s (b. 1483—d. 1524) painting Charon crossing the Styx in which a human soul is being transported by boat into afterlife. Landers sees this as symbolic for what a painting is—a vessel for the artist into afterlife.

Two lighthouses, Portland Lighthouse, US and Sunderland Lighthouse, UK, are both welcoming and warning beacons, allegories for institutions that signal to the public what art is worth preserving. This ruling system will determine the dogs’ fate as they head into the unknown of art history. The bare whale bones, epic in their repose on the sandy shore echo the finality in the lifespan of an artwork. Such relics are epitaphs and beginnings, a sentiment imparted in We Hover, where Landers’ text painted over a fierce ocean reads: And then we hover in between existence and nonexistence in our paintings and that is both terrifying and reassuring. For Landers, Adrift is the everlasting reminder that the artist, like Patinir’s soul, is forever navigating the here and hereafter.

For added perspective on the symbolism, this is from Landers’ Instagram account–

“The ocean represents time and space. The dog adrift in the boat is like an artwork adrift in time and space after the artist passes. The lighthouse is the institution that decides which art civilization will preserve. The whale skeleton is the fear of a life’s work gone unloved and allowed to die.”

Those sure were fun times at Naomi’s Lounge. I think it was 1993 & 94?  It was like the early punkrock days in the late 70s when DJs started booking punk. Finally we had a club, & a scene coalesced. A loosely based cowpunk (or whatever you want to call it) scene thrived for awhile at Naomi's. The Swingin’ Cornflake Killers, Old 97s, Homer Henderson’s One Man Band, & more, adopted a dive bar with cheap beers on the outskirts of Deep Ellum & played for appreciative crowds on a regular basis. 

The groundwork had been laid at The Barley House, up on Henderson, in the years before. But the Barley was too nice inside & attracted too many yuppies & SMU types. But Richard Winfield tried his best, booking cool bands & even releasing a ‘Live At The Barley House’ CD. 

But at Naomi’s, in a dilapidated building on the edge of Deep Ellum on Canton Street, we found a home. I can still see the proprietor, ‘ol Carroll Collyer, wading through the crowd with his old tip-bucket announcing “Give it up, it’s Robert Tilton time. Y’all gotta come up with some money for these boys entertainin’ ya.”

But Carroll is long gone & so is Tom Battles, the Swingin' Cornflake Killers' guitarist, who put this flyer together. So RIP Carroll, Tom, Homer, & Naomi's Lounge. Thanks to Sean Bailey for sharing this image. This sure brought back great memories.

Mi adaptación ideal de la Ilíada es una miniserie, con versiones realistas de las batallas, ropas, costumbres, y tecnología de los aqueos y troyanos, pero mezclada perfectamente con la grandeza de los dioses, criaturas, y eventos sobre naturales (que existen 100% en el universo, porque no somos cobardes).

Abrimos el primer episodio con un montaje como con cuatro personas diferentes, todas en diferentes épocas. Algún estudiante en una cafetería en el siglo xxi, leyendo para un curso; una institutriz en una casa Victoriana, a punto de educar dos niños; una adolescente en los años 70s con sus amigas, practicando declamaciones para una obra de teatro; y un señor ciego en un mercado de lo que hoy es Turquía, en el 7mo siglo AC. Alguien le da una moneda para que cante. Vemos a los tres primeros personajes abriendo un libro, y leen en voz alta lo que el último recita. "Canta, oh musa, la cólera del Pélida Aquiles..." y luego empezamos la historia.

Abarca tres temporadas porque la primera es la Ilíada, la segunda la Odisea, y la tercera la Eneida. Todos los actores son escogidos desde el inicio, y la serie se planea y se escribe para que ya sepamos bien quién es Odiseo y quién es Eneas para cuando se vuelven los protagonistas.

Y lo único que no negocio es:

Briseida tiene personalidad propia, no se enamora de nadie

el río Escamandro se levanta a pelear cuando queda atestado de cadáveres y si se nos va el presupuesto pues se nos fue

en ningún momento vemos el caballo de Troya. La primera temporada termina como el poema, y en la segunda sólo hablamos del caballo, nunca lo vemos ni en flashbacks.

Digo, para que todos tengan la experiencia que yo tuve leyendo la Iliada por primera vez jajaja.
