I give you a choice:
either wear these glasses or start eating the trash.
I have eaten from > trash all the time
The name of this trash can is an ideology
The material strength of ideology
makes me not see what I eat effectively
It's not just our reality who enslaves us.
The tragedy of our circumstances
when we are inside Ideology, is that
when we think that we escaped into our dreams -
at that moment we being in ideology.
They Live from 1988 definitely one of the
forgotten works from Hollywood left
It tells the story John Nada.
& apos; Tone & apos; of course Spanish means "no".
The subject is pure, deprived of all substantial content.
A homeless worker in LA /> who, hovering around
One day entered the abandoned church
and found something strange a box full of sunglasses.
And when he entered one of them, walked along LA's path
he found something strange:
The glasses function like that glasses of criticism-ideology.
They allow you to see the actual message below:
all propaganda, publicity luxury, posters and so on.
You see great publicity the board tells you
wish you a vacation for a lifetime
and when do you put the glass
You only see only in white the background of a gray inscription.
We live, so we are told, in a post-ideological society.
We are interpolated, means that
is handled by social authorities
not as subjects who should do their job, sacrifice themselves
but the subject of pleasure.
Realize your true potential.
Be yourself.
Lead a satisfying life.
When you glasses are on
You see a dictatorship in democracy
This is an invisible order which sustains your real freedom.
The explanation for the existence of this strange ideological spectacle
is the standard story of Invasion of the Body Guard Agency.
Humanity is under alien control.
Hey buddy!
You will pay for it or what?
This is my friend, me don't want not troublesome today
Either pay it or return it
According to our common sense
we think that ideology /> something that is blurred, confusing
our straight view
Ideology must be an eye which distorts our views,
and criticism of ideology > must be the opposite -
like, you take off your glasses so you can finally see
as they really are.
This is exactly, and here pessimism
the film, from them Live
Well justified, this is precisely is the main illusion:
Ideology is not simple imposed on ourselves.
Ideology is spontaneous we are relationships with our social world -
how do we view each meaning < br /> and so on and so on.
We on the one hand enjoy our ideology
Alright.
To step out of ideology -
p>
is painful. This is a painful experience.
You have to force yourself to do it.
This is given in a a good way with
A further scene in this film
where John Nada tries to force his best friend, John Armitage
to also wear glasses.
And that's the strangest scene in the movie
The fight takes eight, nine minutes
Put it in a glass!
This might seem irrational because why is this person
refusing to be so hard put the glasses on? </ P>
As if he was very conscious of who spontaneously he life
lying That glasses will make him see the truth,
but that the truth can hurt
Can destroy lots of of your illusions
This is a paradox we have to accept it
Put the glass in! Put them!
Extreme violence liberation
You must be forced to be free. </ P>
If you trust only you spontaneous feeling
welfare or whatever -
You will never be free.
Look!
Painful freedom.
The basic psychoanalysis insight
is to distinguish between simple pleasures and pleasures. / p>
They are not the same.
Enjoyment is precisely the pleasure in the pleasure that is disturbed -
Even the pleasure of pain.
And this is a factor which is overkill annoying the seemingly simple
relationship between assignments and pleasures.
This is also the room where ideology comes to
and especially religious ideology, operating
This brings me to maybe my favorite example -
great Hollywood classic movies Music sounds.
We all know it's the story of a living nun -
with too much energy -
finally sexual energy,
restricted to the role of a nun.
Oh, Dear Mother. I apologize. I can't
help myself The gate opens and
the hills give a signal and before me...
Maria, I haven't called you here for an apology
Oh, please mom let me ask forgiveness
One two three. One two three.
Step together. Now...
So, Superior Mother sent her to the Von Trapp family
where she took care of her < br /> of children...
Below.
- Kurt, we have to practice... - Allow me, right?
... and at the same time, of course, fell in love
with the baron Von Trapp.
Dan Maria also joined interrupted by her -
can't control it, go back to the monastery...
Oh there are times when we will see each other...
Oh, Mother, < br /> I can barely breathe.
Do you let him see how you feel
If I do, I don't know. That's what happened
Torturing me, I was there about God's duty
It is not surprising that in the past Yugoslav communists
where I saw movies this is for the first time,
exactly this scene, or rather
the following song is a weird hedonist, if you want,
advice from your supervisor:
"Come back, seduce that person, follow this path,
" don't betray your wishes... "</ p >
That is a song that starts with "Climbing every mountain";
songs that are Looks almost embarrassing
and affirmation of desires.
These three minutes are censored.
Climb every mountain
Search high and low
Follow each by-way
Every way you know...
I think the sensor is a person who very smart
He knows, maybe a communist atheist,
where the appeal is Catholic religion is.
& apos; Until you find your dream
If you read smartly Catholic propaganda
and if you really try to distinguish, What agreement do they offer you? </ p >
This is not to prohibit, in this case sexual pleasure.
This is far more cynical contract, as if,
between the church as an institution and a believer
problem with, in this case, sexual desire.
This is hidden nonsense the permission you get -
you are protected by The Divine & Apos; Others are Great & apos; -
You can do whatever you want.
Enjoy.
A dream that needs to be...
This obscene contract does not belong to
for Christianity like that. </ P>
This belongs to the Catholic church as an institution. </ P>
This is the logic of the institution purest
Climbing each mountain...
This is again the key for the proper functioning of ideology.
Not only explicit messages: < br /> leave, suffer and so on,
but the actual hidden message -
pretends to leave and you can get everything.
My psychoanalytic friend Tells me that usually today
patients who come to the analyst to resolve their problems
feel guilty, not because < /> excessive pleasure,
not because they enjoy pleasure that contradicts
their sense of duty or morality, or anything that has ever existed
On the contrary, they feel guilty of not enjoying enough
Because they cannot enjoy.
Oh God, one thirsty in the desert and
what to drink but Coke?
The perfect commodity. Why?
It was Marx who emphasized things for a long time that
a commodity has never been simpler The things we buy and consume.
Commodities are objects the full of theology,
even metaphysical pleasantries.
His presence is always reflected an invisible transcendence
And the classic publicity for Coke is quite open to refer to this
absent, invisible quality
Coke is & apos; The Real Thing & apos; or ¨Coke - that's him & apos;.
What's that & apos; it's & apos ;, & apos; real thing & apos;?
This is not just another positive belongs to Coke -
something that can be explained or shown
through chemical analysis -
it's mysterious & apos; something more & apos; .
The indescribable advantages which are the Causes
of my desires
In our postmodern, however we call them, society -
we must enjoy.
Enjoyment of being a kind or strange and deviant task
The Coke paradox is that you are thirsty -
You drink it but, as everyone knows,
the more you drink it the more thirsty You get. </ P>
Desires are never simple Desire for certain things. </ P>
It is always a wish for that desire itself. </ P>
The desire to keep on wanting. </ P>
Perhaps the most recent one The horror of desire
to be fully filled, meet,
so I don't want it anymore.
The most melancholy experience is the experience of
of losing desire itself.
Instead of returning to the previous era
natural refinement
where we get rid of these advantages and only takes
for actual needs -
like you are thirsty, you drink water, and so on.
We can't go back to it.
The strength is with us forever.
So, let's drink Coke. </ P>
The weather gets hotter. </ P>
This is no longer & apos; The Real Coke & apos; and that is the problem
you know, this part of is sublime for additional dimensions.
When the weather is cold, it is served correctly, it has a certain appeal -
suddenly < br /> this can turn into bad luck.
This is the basic dialectic of commodities.
We don't talk about it objective, factual nature
of a commodity. We are talking just here about the elusive surplus.
& apos; Kinder Surprise egg &.
A sufficient commodity surprise.
Surprise from & apos; Kinder Surprise egg & apos; is that
This exaggerated object, the cause of your desire
here is realized In the guise of an object -
plastic toys filled inner emptiness
of chocolate eggs
The whole balance is between these two dimensions:
what you buy, the chocolate eggs, and surplus -
might be made in some Chinese gulag or whatever -
The advantages you get for free.
I don't think that the chocolate frame is here only to send you
on a deeper voyage inner treasure -
, what Plato called & apos; Agalma & apos; that makes you a decent person,
who makes commodities the desired commodity -
I think that's the opposite.
We must aim at a higher goal, gold in the center of an object -
exactly so can enjoy the surface.
This is what /> anti-metaphysical lessons,
that are hard to accept.
Is this famous? & apos; Ode to Joy & apos; stand for?
This is usually regarded as a kind of ode for humanity
like that, for the brotherhood and everyone's freedom.
And what surprises the eye here is the universal adaptability
of this famous melody. </ P>
This can be used with political movements
who really oppose to each other.
In Nazi Germany it is widely used to celebrate great public events.
In the Soviet Union Beethoven circumcised
and & apos; Ode to Joy & apos; it's done almost like
sort of a communist song.
In China all this time A great Cultural Revolution -
When almost all the west music is banned -
9th symphony accepted
It was permitted to play it as a piece of of progressive bourgeois music
On the extreme right in Southern Rhodesia -
before becoming Zimbabwe -
This proclaimed independence to be able to
to delay the removal of apartheid
By therefore the couple years of independence -
Southern Rhodesia, again melodies & apos; Ode to Joy & apos; -
with lyrics that change, of course, is the national anthem of this country.
At the opposite end -
when Abimael Guzman President Gonzalo,
leader & apos; Sendero Luminoso & apos ;, & apos; Jalan Cemerlang & apos;
extreme left guerrilla in Peru -
when he was asked a journalist who was part of music
was his favorite, he claimed
again on 9 Beethoven symphonies & apos; Ode to Joy & apos; together at the Olympics -
when one German won a gold medal -
again Old to Joy played
not East or East West German national anthem.
And even now today & apos; Ode to Joy & apos; is unofficial
European national anthem
So it is true that we can imagine some kind of strange scene
universal brotherhood where Osama Bin Laden is
hugging President Bush, Saddam is embracing
Fidel Castro, white race hugging Mao Tse Tung
memeluk Presiden Bush, Saddam sedang merangkul
Fidel Castro, ras putih memeluk Mao Tse Tung
and all with them singing & apos; Ode to Joy & apos;.
Success. And that's how every ideology must work.
That doesn't just mean. </ P>
Always also have to work as an empty container -
is open to all possible meanings. </ P>
, you know that the stomach feels like we feel
when we experience something sad and we say:
"Oh my God, I'm so moved, < br /> There's something so deep. "
But you never know what is this depth
It's empty.
Now, of course anyone caught here
The catch of course this frame neutrality
is never neutral as seen </ p >
This, I think Alex's perspective from
Orange Clockwork entered.
We all feel a little jagged and fenced and fired.
It's already late some small energy expenditure,
oh my brothers
So we get rid of auto and stop at The Korova
for a night drink
Why is Alex, the last one? Cynical, hero of
Clockwork Orange, why is he so fascinated -
overwhelmed -
When he saw the woman sang Beethoven's & apos; Ode to Joy?> </ P>
And it feels like a moment, oh my brothers,
some big birds have Fly into the milk bar
and I feel all embarrassed small hair on my plott
stand up straight and tremble crawling up
like a lazy lazy lizard, then go down again.
Because I know what he sings
That's a little of the noble ninth by Ludwig van.
Whenever ideological text says: "all humanity,
" united in brotherhood, joy "and so on,
You should always ask
" Okay, okay, okay, but is this all, really all </ p >
"or someone excluded?"
I think Alex, the bad guy from Clockwork Orange,
identified this a place of exclusion.
p>
And Beethoven's great genius is that
he really declared this exception
Suddenly tone changed to some sort of
cadence carnavales.
It's no longer this great beauty
Excuse me, I ordered this two weeks ago -
Wait a moment.
We hear this vulgar music exactly when Alex comes in.
An shopping arcade and We can see from the movement
Now he feels at home.
He is like a fish in the water.
I'm sorry, ladies.
Beethoven isn't cheap celebrator </ p >
of the brotherhood of humanity and so on -
we are a big family who are happy enjoying freedom,
dignity, and so on.
p>
Enjoy it, is you dear
The first part, what's wrong is celebrated today -
you heard it all events official -
is clearly identified with Beethoven
as an ideology, and then the second part tells
and 's failure of official ideology
to limit that, to tame it
This is why Beethoven is doing something </ p >
that might appear it's hard to do
He has entered pure music
practices criticism of ideology
If classical ideology functions on the road
appointed by Marx in the good formula
of Capital Volume One:
" Sie wissen es nicht, aber sie tun es. "
" They don't know what they do
"but they nothing less does "
Cynical ideological functions in the
mode" I know very well what I do </ p >
"But I still haven't fewer people do it. "
This paradoxical constellation is performed in a beautiful way.
in famous songs & apos; Officer Krupke & apos; at Bernstein & apos; s and Sondheim> west side.
Hey you!
- Who am I, officer Krupke? - Yes you!
Give me one item reason not to
drag you down to the station house, you punk
Dear...
with respect to Sergeant Krupke, you have to understand
it just wants us & apos; up-to, which keeps us out of control.
Our mothers are all addicts, Our father is all is a drunkard.
O Moses, natcherly we are punk!
Wow, Officer Krupke, we are very upset
We never have...
The rebel group imposed an overall explanation,
Kelompok pemberontak tersebut memberlakukan penjelasan keseluruhan,
As a music number of course, why are they naughty
... there's something good, there's something untapped well!
Like inside, The worst of us is good!
Facing the police officer Krupke,
who is not there but all is there addressed to police officers
That is a good story.
Lemme tells the world!
Just tell the judge.
So one of them adopted a position judge:
Honorable Judge, Your Honor, My parents treat me harshly.
With all their marijuana, they will not give me a puff .
Then psychologically explanation:
... he shouldn't be here
This boy doesn't need a sofa, < br /> he needs a useful career.
People play it a terrible trick -
and sociologically he is sick!
I'm sick!
We are sick , we are sick...
The paradox here is how can you know all this and still do it?
This is cynical ideological functioning.
They have never been what they look like being a cynical jerk.
They always have tiny personal dreams.
This dream can be many things.
It could even be something quite ordinary
Let's take the English riots August 2011.
A liberal standard explanation < br /> really sounds like
repetition songs & apos; Officer Krupke & apos;
Kita tidak bisa hanya mengutuk ini huru hara sebagai vandalisme nakal.
You have to see how these people live in almost ghettos -
isolated communities -
there is no proper family life, no decent education
They don't even have the prospect of from ordinary work.
But, this isn't enough because humans aren't simple
an objective product circumstances.
We all have this margin freedom in deciding
how are we subjectivist objective circumstances
of course determine us
How we react to them build our own universe.
Conservative solutions do we need more many policemen
We need a court, passing through a heavy assessment
I think this solution is too simple
If I listen carefully in part David Cameron's statement
seems as if OK, they beat people up,
burned the house, but < br /> The really horrible thing is
that they take objects without paying for them
The main things we can imagine.
In a very limited way, Cameron is right -
there is no ideological justification
That is the reaction of people who really caught
dominant ideology but have no way to make it happen
what is needed by this ideology? from them to be that kind of </ p >
Acting wild in this case ideological space for consumerism.
Even if we face apparently
is not ideological at all brutality -
I just want to burn the house, to get things
These are very social and ideological very specific results
Constellation where ideology is great, fighting for justice,
equations etc., destroyed.
The only ideology that functions is pure consumerism
and then no wonder what you get as a form of protest
Every act of violence comes out is a sign that
something is not you able to enter words.
Even the most brutal violence even is what applies
of certain symbolic deadlock
Great things < br /> Taxi Driver
is that it brings this brutal explosion of violence
to the radical dimension of suicide.
We are not dealing here with something
which is only a concern of the fragile psychology of
of a distorted person, what is Travis in Taxi Driver.
This has something to do with ideology
Listen to the fucker, You screw the head.
This is the guy who wants to < br /> can't stand it anymore
Who doesn't want to let...
Listen to the fucker, you screw the head.
This is the guy who wants can't stand it anymore
A man who stands up against trash -
cunts, dogs, feces, feces
This is someone who is standing
in Taxi Driver, Travis, the hero,
is disturbed by the young prostitute played by Jody Foster.
What bothers him, of course as always happens -
exactly his fantasy.
Fantasy to him.
The victim who he is hidden pleasure...
And unfair fantasy individual personal problems.
Fantasy is central. Our ideology is made of.
Don't look at him.
Fantasy is in psychoanalytic > perspective
basically lying.
It's not a lie in that sense it's just fantasy
but not reality, but lies in the sense it
fantasy covers certain gaps in consistency
When things are blurred, when we can't really get
to know things, fantasies give easy answers.
The usual fantasy mode is to build a scene -
is not a scene where I get what I want -
but a scene where I imagined it myself as other people wanted.
The taxi driver was a unknown remake
probably the greatest < br /> from the west John Ford -
the classic The Searchers left.
- I took a lot...? - Sketches.
In both films, the hero tries to save
a young woman who is considered as a victim of brutal persecution. </ P>
In The Searcher Nathalie Wood young
was kidnapped and lived for several years
as the wife of an Indian chieftain.
In taxi drivers young Jodie Foster
controlled by a merciless pimp
You walk out with them fucking goosebumps and lowlifes
and slumped out on the street,
and you sell your little vagina for nothing, man
For some pimps living low?
Stand in the hall?
I'm - I'm square? </ P>
You're the only one it's square, man
I don't go screw and fuck with a group of killers
and junkies like you.
His job is always to save felt victims
But what really drives the violence of this hero
is deep suspicion the victim is not just a victim.
That victim, effectively misguidedly
enjoys or participates in what appears as a victim.
So, to make it very simple -
he doesn't want to be redeemed, he rejects it
Let's go home, Debby.
And this is a big problem -
if I immediately jump to the political dimension -
the big problem of Americans military intervention,
especially the so-called humanitarian intervention
From Iraq until now Vietnam half a century ago.
We tried to help them,
But what if they really > don't want our help
These results weaken the deadlock
can only be a violent explosion
We can, go to > end of the film
Travis explodes in murder.
Kills pimps, all people around the young girl.
Violence never happens only abstract violence
It's kind of brutal intervention in real -
to cover certain impotence about
what we can contact cognitive mapping
You don't have a clear picture of what's going on
Where are we?
Exactly the same applies for massive explosions
Violence: Anders Behring Breivik's murder in Oslo
Bursting a bomb in front of from a government building
and then killing dozens of people > from young members
of the social democratic party
on an island close to Oslo.
Many commentators try to dismiss this as
p>
a clear case of personal madness.
But in my opinion Breivik's manifesto deserves to be read.
This is clearly clear how violent this -
that Breivik is not only theorizing about but also enforced -
is a reaction to impenetrability
It's like Travis Bickle & apos; s killing spree
at the end of the Taxi Driver.
When he's there, hardly lives,
he symbolically shared his fingers pointing to a gun
in his own head
Clearly a sign that all this violence was basically suicide.
He is on the right path, by the way -
Travis in Taxi Driver.
You must have a violent explosion
and should be direct to yourself
but in a very specific way what is in you
changes you, ties you in /> for the ruling ideology.
Pippin? Pippin?
In Jaws Steven Spielberg
a shark starts attacking people in beach
What does this attack mean?
What is the shark?
Something different, even mutually exclusive
answers to this question
In the other hand some claimed criticism
obviously the shark stands for foreign threats
for ordinary Americans
Sharks are a metaphor for natural disasters -
storms or immigrants threatening
United States citizens and so on.
Besides that Interesting to note that
Fidel Castro , who loves the film,
once said it to him It is clear that
Jaws is a type of a left Marxist film
and that shark is a metaphor for
brutal big capital exploiting ordinary Americans
So where is the correct answer
I don't claim any of them and at the same time all of them.
Ordinary Americans, as always people in all countries
have a lot of fear
We are afraid of all things.
We fear maybe, immigrants or people
that we consider inferior than attack us alone,
rob us We fear others others rape our children
We fear natural disasters, tornadoes, earthquakes earth,
tsunami; we are afraid corrupt politicians
We are afraid of big companies which basically can
do with us whatever they want
The function of the shark is to unite all these fears
so we can be on the way trade all these fears
for just one fear
Smile, you're a child from...
In this way our experience The reality becomes simpler.
Why did I mention this? Because not so
for example the most extreme ideological case,
maybe in the history of from humanity -
Nazi fascist anti-Semitism
works right in the same way?
Imagine the usual German citizens
in the late 20s / early 30s.
p>
The situation is, abstractly
is the same as from a small child
He is really confused.
Social, symbolic authority command tells him
You are a German worker, banker, whatever -
but there is no function. </ P>
What do the people want from him
The way he looked at the situation
was the newspaper lying to him
He lost his job because of inflation.
He lost all of his money in the bank. </ P>
He saw moral degradation and so on...
So what does mean all this?
The original fascist dreams are for -
of course like dreams of every ideology -
to have a cake and eat it
As often pointed out out, fascism is,
Most basic, a conservative revolution
Revolution: economy < br /> development,
modern industry, yeah
But a revolution where no one will lack
maintain or even reaffirm < br /> a traditional hierarchical society.
A society that is modern, efficient,
but at the same time is controlled by
the value of hierarchy with class no or other antagonisms .
Now, they have a problem Here, the fascists,
but antagonism, class struggle and other dangers
are something attached to for capitalism
Modernization, industrialization -
as we know the history of capitalism -
means disintegration of long-standing stable relationships.
This means social conflict.
Instability is the way the function of capitalism
So how to overcome it < br /> this problem? Simple.
You need to generate an ideological narrative
yang menjelaskan caranya ada yang tidak beres
in the community, not as a result of
the tension inherent in the development of this community
but the results of foreign intruders
p>
Everything is fine until the Jews penetrate our social body.
The way to restore our social body health
is to eliminate people Jews.
The same operation like
sharks on Jaws
You have lots of people from fear
and this multiplicity fears confuse you -
like you are simple do not know
what it means of all this confusion
>
And you replace this confused a lot
with one clear figure:
for one parent's family partly spurring this report.
Social security departmental fear
that accelerates the budget
for single mother on the benefits of
could reach nearly 5 billion pounds
by the end of this decade.
But the thing is from single parents
increasingly seen as the heart of
from John Major back to basic crusade
Remember, I think around two, three decades ago -
when the British prime minister
John Major -
There was a sort of ideological campaign
to return to morality and so on.
And all the evils of society
are realized in conservative narratives
in the image
single mother idle
Like, there is violence in our suburbs?
Of course, because singles unemployed mothers
can't be careful their children -
don't educate properly them and so on.
We lack our budget, not enough money -
of course, because we have to support unmarried
single mother and so on and so on.
In an ideological building
you need some pseudo concrete images like this
to improve your imagination,
and then this image can mobilize us
Imagine the ideology as a sort of filter. </ P>
A frame, so if you see the same thing
ordinary reality through that frame -
everything changes. In what sense?
That's not how the frames really add anything;
It's just that the frame is open a deep suspicion.
If we see anti-Semitic the image of Jews
is very important to pay attention to the way the contradiction with this number
the Jews are
Jews at the same time
> extra intellectual -
like mathematicians, it's up to -
and vulgar
Don't wash regularly.
Seduce girls plain all time and so on and so on.
This is typical for racism.
You are trying to imagine how everyone else enjoyed
all any secret revelry or , because in racism
others don't only enemies;
usually also invested with
in reverse, Others can be someone
who tries to steal from us our pleasure, we...
To disturb, like usually put it: our way of life.
We have to be here very right
doesn't fall into the ordinary thing the trap disqualifies </ p >
all the elements from which Nazi ideological buildings
are compiled, to disqualify all they are proto-fascists.
We should never forget it is the vast majority
of these elements that we today associate fascism
is taken from the labor movement.
The idea is that many people march together -
This idea is strict discipline is our job -
Nazis immediately take over this from democracy social,
from the left
Let me take another central concept
view of the Nazi world:
people's solidarity.
Oh my God, there's nothing bad in that sense. </ P>
The problem is solidarity for what kind of person? </ P>
If with the person you mean < Bro> Volksgemeinschaft & apos; -
organic community -
where the enemies automatically
foreign intruders,
on this case we are in Nazism
The important thing is to look for the ideology of the place.
Let's take a clear example.
Song the famous & apos; Tomorrow My Own & apos;
from the film Cabaret.
The sun on the grassland is a warm summer
Deer male in the forest runs free...
Some of my friends after seeing a movie -
Cabaret Bob Fosse -
thought that after they heard this song
they finally understood what was the deepest,
for its emotional impact, what fascism
But I think this is exactly is a mistake to avoid
This song is rather ordinary popular songs.
It just so happens that it is composed while they
shoot movies by Jewish couples.
Ironically good.
If you see not only in music, on the street it is sung,
but even on words
"revival of a nation, tomorrow is mine..."
people can imagine well a little change of words
radical left , communist song
But immediately say the whisper: arises, arises...
German rock hard Rammstein's band
is often accused of teasing, playing with
Nazi militarism iconography.
But if someone observes closely shows them -
People can see very well /> what they do.
Exemplarily one of the best known songs & apos; Reise Reise & apos;.
Reise, reise, Seemann reise
Jeder tut & apos; s auf seine Weise
Der eine stößt den Mann speer zum
Der andere zum Fische and.
Reise, reise, Seemann reise...
The minimal element of Nazi ideology
endorsed by Rammstein is something like
p>
The pleasure must be, like that,
thick in some minimal tics: cues,
who don't have it the right ideological meaning
What Rammstein is doing is -
This frees these elements from their Nazi articulation.
This allows us to enjoy it their pre-ideological state.
The way to fight Nazism is to enjoy these elements,
ridiculous as they might appear,
by suspending Horizon of Nazi meaning
This way you weaken Nazism from within.
So how nothing is lacking > ideology does this?
How do you articulate pre-ideological elements?
These elements can also be seen as a sort of bribe.
The way ideology pays us seduces us into the building.
This bribe can be bribes of pure libido,
all the tics available thick enjoyment.
Or they can be explicitly discursive elements such as
understanding of solidarity collective discipline,
fighting for one's destiny and so on and so forth.
All of this alone free floating elements
that open themselves different ideological fields.
Let's move on to the high point of our consumerism.
Let me drink...
Some of them - & apos; Starbucks coffee.
I regularly drink it, I have to admit it
But are we aware of that? When we buy cappuccino
dari 'Starbucks', kami juga membeli cukup banyak ideologi.
Which ideology?
You know when you enter a store & apos; Starbucks &
Usually always displayed On some posters there,
their message is:
Yes, our cappuccino is more expensive than others,
but - and then the story comes -
we give one percent of all our income for some
Guatemalan children to keep them healthy
For water supplies for some Sahara farmers,
or to save the forest, to allow organic planting coffee...
whatever, it's up to
Now I admire that ingeniosity from this solution
In the past Simple simple consumerism
You bought a product and then you feel bad.
Oh my God, I'm fair a consumerist
while people are starving in Africa.
So the idea is you have to do it do something to overcome
You really don't care consumerism.
For example, I don't know, you contributed
for charity and so on.
What's & Starbucks; lets you be a consumer and -
be a consumer without a bad conscience
because of the price for the counter size -
to fight consumerism -
is included in commodity prices.
As you pay a little more and you are not just
a consumerist but you also your duty to the environment -
the poor and hungry in Africa and so on and so on.
This, I think, is the last form of consumerism.
We shouldn't just be opposed to the main life
dedicated to the task and enjoying < our little pleasure
Let's take capitalism today.
We have, on the one hand, the demands of circulation
of capital pushes us towards making profit,
expansion, exploitation and destruction of nature and,
in addition, ecological demands: </ p >
let's think about our offspring and about our own survival,
let's take care of nature and so on.
In this conflict between < >> cruelly pursue
capitalist expansion and ecological awareness -
tasks, strangely strange assignments of course -
The task is next to from capitalism,
as much is seen analysts noted.
Capitalism is indeed strange religious structure.
p>
This is driven by this Absolute demand:
capital must circulate to reproduce itself to expand -
to multiply and > for this purpose
anything can be sacrificed, gets to our lives,
gets to nature and so on.
This is something strange /> unconditional commands
A true capitalist is a miser who is ready
to sacrifice everything for this misguided task.
What we see here The Mojave Desert
in this resting place abandoned planes
Capitalism is everything time in crisis
This is why appearing is almost indestructible
Crisis is not an obstacle.
This is that drives forward
towards permanently revolutionizing yourself -
permanent, extended self-reproduction -
always new product
The other invisible side of that is waste -
a large amount of waste.
We should not react garbage pile this
by trying to somehow get rid of it
Maybe the first thing to do is to accept this waste
To accept that there is are things out there
that don't serve anything
To get out of this eternal cycle function.
German philosopher Walter Benjamin
the words are very deep p> not when we are involved things, when things move;
only when we see this , again,
the rest of the culture < br /> half deprived of nature -
At that moment we get intuition of what history means
Maybe this is also an account for the redemption value </ p >
from post-disaster films
like I Am Legend and so on.
We see what was destroyed the human environment,
half the factory empty, machine is messy,
half shop is empty
What are we experiencing at the moment,
psychoanalytic terms for that surely
& apos; Inertia of the Real & apos; -
Apa yang kita alami saat ini,
istilah psikoanalitik untuk itu pasti
'Inersia of the Real' -
This is a silent presence beyond meaning.
What moment did
face the plane here at Mojave Desert
take it to we there might be an opportunity
for authentic passive experience
moments of authentic passivity
nothing new can appears.
Maybe something that just appeared through failure,
proper suspension function of
our existing network of life -
where are we.
Maybe this is what we need more than ever today
What is the wreck? Titanic's place ?
We all know the standard reading
of the impact of the sinking of the Titanic.
Not just the film but the accident actually
This sink has like the impact is because it happened
in society still at that time in all its luxury and glory,
was not aware of that decay Waiting in the near future -
World War and so on .
But there is something Exaggerated
of this entire field of the meaning
which is very an amazing presence
of the destruction of Titanic on the seabed.
When James Cameron organized
journey to the real one Titanic wreck
He also made similar comments.
When explorers Approaching the accident,
they have this almost metaphysical experience </ p >
that they are approaching a forbidden area
where is the sacred and overlaps that overlap
Yes, Roger it. OK, drop down
and enter the first door gang class.
I want you to work with...
Every politics, symbol ideological
or symptoms must be relied upon in this dimension
petrified pleasures
From frozen grimaces excessive enjoyment in pain
What I'm doing here in the middle of the sea -
alone on a ship surrounded by by a frozen corpse?
Boosting?
I'm in a scene from James Cameron Titanic...
Boosting?
... which is the highest case of ideology in Hollywood recently.
Why? Beause up close
Tension against the story of from movies
- I don't know this dance. - I don't. </ P>
Just go with it Don't think
We have at least three levels.
First what is it that people ironically refer to
James Cameron Hollywood Marxism -
Sympathy for this ridiculous sympathy with the lower class
Up there, first class passengers -
they are mostly evil, selfish, coward ..
You know not Like that, Rose.
... contained in Kate Winslet's fiance
is played by Billy Zane - He knows.
This whole narrative is maintained
by more reactionary myths
Do you see the faces of those people
We have to ask what role is being done iceberg crashing ship
playing in development love story?
When the ship docked I went with you
- This is crazy. - I know.
My claim is here who is a little cynical.
This must happen the real disaster
We can imagine how it might be after two three weeks
intense sex in New York
the affair will occur somehow fades away.
As a paying customer
I hope to get what I want.
Kate Winslet is a high-class girl -
psychologically distress, confusion, </ p >
The ego is falling apart.
And its function Leonardo DiCaprio...
On the bed, sofa.
... just because he helped her to reorganize her ego.
Good. Lie down.
Her own picture, literally she draw the image
Tell me when that looks right.
Put your arm back like that
This is really a new version one of the old ones -
favorite imperialist myths
The idea was at that time upper class people
lost their vitality
they needed contact with class below
Basically mercilessly exploiting they are in vampires like the way -
as they suck from their life energy.
Revitalize they can join them remote upper class life
My heart is beating fast all the time. </ P>
That's the most erotic when in my life
Until at least. The ship touches the iceberg -
not immediately after sex but When the couple goes up
to the open space and decides to stay together.
You know, often in history
events that might appear as catastrophic
save people or ideas,
raise them into a myth.
Remember the intervention of the Soviet army -
and other Warsaw support armies < br /> in 1968 in Czechoslovakia -
to strangle it so was called Prague Spring.
Czech business democratic communism
for introduce more socialism facing humans.
Usually we see this Soviet brutal intervention
as something that is ruined a brief dream of the Prague spring
I think it saved his dream.
Czechoslovakia will be changed to the ordinary
liberal capitalist country
or at some point - which usually the fate of
reformist communists, ruling communists -
will be obliged to set limits
Alright, you have fun for you, your freedom -
Again, the paradox is right Soviet intervention
keeps his dream < br /> the possibility of
other communism and so on and so forth.
So, here again
through temporal disaster </ p >
we have a love story that is, as if,
is redeemed in the idea, saved for eternity.
We can finally read disaster
as a desperate maneuver
to save the illusion eternal love
We can see how the ideology works effectively here
We have two shallow levels.
All the attraction the accident
love story - but all of this is quite acceptable
for our liberals progressive thoughts -
all this is just a trap
Something to lose our attention -
threshold, as if, to open us -
to be ready to receive the message of a true conservative
the rich have tried to revitalize themselves
by mercilessly taking over the vitality of the poor.
There is no one here, sir.
There are details beautiful that tells everything
Back.
When Kate Winslet's notice that Leonardo DiCaprio
was dead, he, of course , start shouting
"I will never release it, I will never release"
while at the same time... - I will never release it
- I promise. ... he pushes him away
He is what we call ironically a mediator that disappears. </ P>
This logic is from /> partner production
has a long history Hollywood
Whatever the story is -
This might be around the end of the world, an asteroid
is very threatening human survival
or big war, it's up.
As a rule we always have a partner
the link is threatened and somehow
this trial at the end is happy to gather.
This logic does not apply just for movies -Hollywood movies.
In the late forties, in the Soviet Union,
they produced arguably one of the most expensive
films of all time:
Fall of Berlin
Chronicles of Second World war
from a Soviet point of view.
And it's really amazing how is close with this film
also follows the logic of pairing production.
The story begins earlier
German attacks in the Soviet Union,
>
when the worker model who fell in love
with a local girl but also ashamed to propose to him,
was called to Moscow to get /> a medal from Comrade Stalin.
There was a notice of Stalin's hers confusion, distress,
and Stalin gave him some suggestions -
This section is unfortunately missing
because in the background of this scene there is Beria -
a Soviet politician who after Stalin's death
become & apos; non-person & apos; -
was shot as a traitor.
But we know from what scenario is there
If Stalin gives you love that suggestion have to succeed -
so the couple hugged each other.
He brought him maybe to make love.
At that moment there was a victory ,
enter violently from obstacles:
German planes come, drop bomb
The girl is imprisoned.
Boys of course join the Red Army
and we follow him through all the big battles
The idea is that in a deeper movie logic -
what is this battle about -
really repeat the couple
The boy must bring his child.
This is what happened in the end,
but what is very strange the way that reconfirms
Stalin's role as the highest divine matchmaker
The scene itself, Stalin appeared itself
ordinary crowd never happened.
Stalin was truly paranoid about flying,
about taking the plane
But nothing is missing when he Seeing this scene he cries.
Of course he himself is like you know, write lines
When the spouse meets each other
The girl first sees Stalin,
Then she turns < br /> and, surprised,
see her lover
for whom is he waiting throughout the war
So it's just passing the presence of Stalin
that pair gets a reunion
This is how ideology works.
It's not explicit the ideology of the film -
that we heard at the end of St said:
now everyone is free will enjoy peace
and so on and so forth.
But precisely the ideology on the more fundamental.
This seems to be entirely subordinate motive -
is not important in itself -
pair story, this is what is the key element,
who holds the whole film together,
the small surplus element which interests us,
which maintains our attention
This is how ideology works.
Good.
Everything is clean.
Drunk.
So it's your actions it's beautiful
Smooth, Charlene.
We usually think so military discipline
is just a problem without thinking following the instructions
Obeying the rules.
You don't think - you do < > what is your job
It's not that simple.
If we do this, we just become a machine
There must be something more.
It's better to have two basic forms.
The first more benign form is ironic distance.
Best exemplified by famous films
and TV series & Mox
Hawkeye?
... where the military doctors were involved
>
in sexual adventures,
Some people bring Robert Altman MASH movies
as antimonistic, satirist products,
but no.
We must always bear it in mind that this
army with all of its practical jokes -
make fun of them boss and so on - </ p >
operated perfectly as a soldier.
They did their job.
This one is for you, dear
It's much more unpleasant < br /> is sort of obscene
complementing pure military discipline
Almost in all films about US Marines,
the most embodiment famous from this obscenity
is the song lined up.
Mixed nonsense... - I don't know but I've been told.
Eskimos are very cold.
... and obscenity.
It's not damaging, making fun of military discipline.
This is the innermost element.
You take this obscene complement -
and military machines stop working
Well, there's no nonsense. What do we get here ?
Damn comedians Personal joker
I admire your honesty.
Hell, I like you. You can come </ p >
to my house and fuck my sister
You are a little nonsense!
I have your name I have your ass
You won't laugh. You won't cry. </ P>
You will study with the number. I will teach you. </ P>
Now wake up! Get up! </ P>
You really justify yourself or I'll open the lid
your head and nonsense under your neck
- Sir, yeah, sir! - Personal Joker,
why aren't you joining my beloved corps
I think it's drilling sergeant -
how to play it exemplary method in
Stanley Kubrick & apos; s > Full Metal Jacket -
that the drill sergeant was a tragic figure. </ P>
I always like to imagine it as someone who
After his work returned home, quite decent and so on. </ P>
This is my rifle, this is my gun
All this is shouting obscene only a show that was ignored
was not so impressed the ordinary army
who he trained to bribe them
with a little pleasure.
This is not just a question of these dirty words,
who supports military machines;
This is another more general rule that applies to
military communities, but even more
I would say, for all the human community
From the biggest countries, ethnic groups,
to small universities < br /> departments and so on.
You not only have explicit rules
you always, to be part of a community,
You need some implicit unwritten rules
that have never been publicly acknowledged
but very important as a point
identification of a group
In the UK all know about
the obscene unspoken ritual,
that governs the life of in public schools.
That will be everything. Thank you you, Finchley
I want to see all the whips in my study after the break
- Right, sir. - Oh, what about India? It's nice to be? day and night...
Just think Lindsay Classics Anderson & apos; if... & apos.
Public life democratic -
we have professors who interact with their students,
nice atmosphere, teaching, friendship,
spirit of cooperation -
But we all know what happened
below the surface.
Older students torture, sexually abuse younger </ p >
This mixture of carelessness and sadistic violence.
Siswa yang lebih tua menyiksa, secara seksual menyalahgunakan yang lebih muda
Campuran kecerobohan yang sama ini dan kekerasan sadis.
And what's more What's important here is that
we shouldn't be so put all the mistakes
or all the pleasures of on students who older.
Even the victims
part of this hell the cycle of obscenity
As if to truly become a member a community
You have to make you dirty hands
And I think even Abu Ghraib Scandal -
American soldiers
> torture or
especially embarrassing Iraqi prisoners -
are to be read this way.
It's not like that, we Americans the arrogant
embarrass others
Is the Iraqi army experienced there
is an indecent staging of </ p >
In the Full Metal Jacket the character of Joker -
is played by Matthew Modine -
that is close to what we will call ordinary army.
A MASH type of soldier
He deserves ironic distance
He proves, in finally, militarily,
the most efficient soldier.
Come back to me.
Then why will I do it soon? shoot myself </ p >
Something is wrong there. But what?
Lock and load!
I didn't just go berserk.
Order. </ P>
This is my shotgun. </ P>
There are many who like it, but this one is mine
But I also immediately identified
with this obscene ritual.
I lost my distance.
I consider them serious.
What is his name? from Jesus H. Christ
are you an animal? in my head?
If you are too close to him,
if you end up identifying with that,
if you really become the voice of
of this super ego, that self-destruct.
You kill people around you -
you end up kill yourself
Oh, shh, shh, sst.

So you think Batman has been made Gotham a better place? Hm?
Look at me.
Look at me!
Look, this is crazy Batman makes Gotham.
You want to order in Gotham -
Batman must release it mask and turn it off
Oh, and every day he no, people will die
I am a man of my words.
So who is the Joker?
- If we are going to play a game... Where is the lie he fights?
... I will need a cup of coffee.
Ah, & apos; a good cop, bad police routine
No exactly.
The thing that really bothered about The Dark Knight
was that it raised lies general social principals -
to the principal of the organization
of our socio-political life.
As if our society can remain stable,
can only functioning if based on lies
As if telling the truth, and this tells the truth
realizing the Joker means interference
Disintegration social order. </ P>
Jangan pernah mulai dengan kepala.
The victim becomes very blurred.
He can't feel the next one...
Towards the end as if a lie function
like hot potatoes passing
one person's hand to someone else's hand
First there is Harvey Dent.
So alright. Take Batman into custody...
Public Prosecutor who is a lie
- I am Batman. Claims that he is a real person
the person behind the Batman mask. That he is Batman.
Then we have Gordon -
honest police, Batman friends , who is
false, the stages are own death
Five people are killed. Two of them are police.
You can't get rid of it .
In the end, Batman himself took over himself
- But the Joker can't win. ... crimes, murders are committed
by Harvey Dent, public prosecutors turn criminal...
Gotham's Need true heroes
... to keep public trust
into the legal system
The idea is that if it's normal /> the public must learn
how corrupt or is the essence of us
the legal system then everything will collapse -
be us need to lie to maintain order.
A hero.
Not a hero that we deserve, But the hero we need.
No less than a knight, shining. </ P>
There is nothing new about this. </ P>
It's old conservative wisdom
has long been confirmed by the philosopher of Plato
especially, and then Immanuel Kant,
Edmond Burke and so on and so forth
This real idea is too strong
p>
That politician should be a cynic,
even though he knows what's right,
Tell ordinary people Plato mentions & apos; fairy tales of nobility & apos; -
lies.
Um, United States knows that Iraq
has weapons mass destruction
The British know what they have
weapons of mass destruction
Any country earth
with active ones intelligence programs
know that Iraq has weapons mass destruction
That can be activated in forty-five minutes
The choice is his and if he does not disarm,
the United States will lead a coalition
and disarm him on behalf of peace.
Let's be honest. We can have the state -
the public power system -
as legitimate as you want submitted to the critical press,
democratic elections and onwards and so on,
apparently fair serve us
But still, if you Look closely
even the most democratic even though state power functions
can be displayed true authority,
and power requires authority, there must be, as if,
between all lines time this message from:
"Yeah, yeah, yes, we passed through selection
"But basically we can do it whatever you want. "
Because that is how needs to happen
Because sometimes, < br /> the truth isn't good enough
Sometimes people deserve more.
Sometimes people deserve
to have them faith is appreciated
One of big nonsense -
is popular today
when we are confronted with with acts of violence -
is to refer to Fyodor Dostoyevsky
the famous statement from & apos; Brother Karamazov & apos:
"If there is no God at that time Everything is permitted "
Well, the first problem with this statement is
Dostoyevsky, of course, never succeeded
The first used this phrase as
allegedly made by Dostoyevsky is
Jean-Paul Sartre on & apos; 43,
but the main one is The point is this
The statement is wrong. </ P>
At first glance we see today's difficult situation
clearly tells us this
Precisely:
if there is a God, that is all permitted
for those who don't only believe in god
but who sees themselves as instruments ,
the instrument is directly of divine will.
If you think or feel or legitimize yourself
as a direct instrument from divine will,
then of course all narrow minor moral considerations
disappear.
How can you think in terms narrow like that
when you directly God's instrument
That's what religion is called Fundamentalists work,
but not only them.
Every form is called totalitarianism
Work like that if presented
or if it's a gift itself as an atheist
Let's take Stalinism. </ P>
Officially Stalinism based on atheist atheist theory,
but if we look closely subjective experience
a Stalinist political agent,
Leader, we see that
This is not the position of an arrogant master,
who can do it whatever he wants
On the contrary, it is the position of a perfect servant
In the Stalinist universe there must be
apa itu teori psikoanalitik kita sebut 'Big Other'.
& apos; Big Other & apos; this in the stalinist universe
has many names
The best known of them is the need for
historical progress towards communism
or just history
History itself is & apos; Big Other & apos;
History needs succession of historical stages
A simple self communist experience
an instrument whose function is to actualize
a historical need
People people, mythical people -
whose instruments totalitarian leaders -
have never really been existing individuals,
groups of people and so on.
This is some kind of imagination ideal reference point
that works even when, for example in
rebellion against communist rule
like in Hungary & 56;
when a large majority of correctly rejects people
raises, opposes to the regime
They can still say: "No, these are only individuals,
" they are not the right people "
If you are accused from: "My Lord,
" How can you do it? all these terrible things? "
You can just say, and this is
The standard Stalinist reason:
"Of course my heart is bleeding for all the bad victims,
" I am not fully responsible for that's
"I only act name & apos; Big Other & apos;".
"Like myself, I like cats,
" little ones ", it's up to -
this is always the section of iconography
a Stalinist leader.
Lenin in this Stalinism is always presented as
someone who likes small children and cats
The implication -
Lenin had to order a lot of murders and so on, but
his heart wasn't there -
this was his job < br /> as an instrument
historical progress and so on and so forth
The way to weaken Stalinism is not simple
make fun of < br /> leaders who can,
to some extent even tolerated.
This is to weaken this reference,
reference myth which legitimizes the Stalinist leader:
people.
This is how I read
the best work so far from Miloš Forman -
the film was in the early Czech.
Black Peter, Loves of a Blond,
and the firefighter Ball where he made fun of
exactly ordinary people.
In their daily conformity,
ignorance, selfish desires
and so on and so on.
It might look like this something very arrogant -
But no, I think so this is the way to
weaken the entire structure of from the Stalinist universe.
To show that's not what leaders are not leaders,
they are always ready to say: "Oh, but that's right
" Ordinary people like you. "
No! That doesn't have the mythical
that serves as the final legitimacy
So what that & apos; Big Other & apos;
This basic element every ideological building?
It has two enough contradictory aspects
In the other hand, of course,
& apos; Big Other & apos; is the secret sequence of things like
divine reason, destiny or whatever,
that controls our destiny
But maybe that's the least interesting aspect
from & apos; Big Other>
as an agent, which guarantees the meaning of
from what we do
Much more interesting is & apos; Others are Big & apos;
as the order of appearance.
Many things prohibited
is not simple is prohibited but
they should not happen for & apos; Big Other & apos;.
The highest this example
the agent from & apos; Big Other> as the agent of
the appearance is is busy
in the work of David Lean, Short meeting
Initially from the film,
Two lovers, Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard ,
arrange for their last meet in the cafeteria
from a small train station.
Laura, how wonderful is the surprise.
Oh Dolly.
My dear, I've been shopping until I fall
My legs are almost dead, and my throat is dry.
I thought of having tea on Spindle & sos; s
but I was so scared lost the train
- Oh dear. - This is Dr. Harvey. </ P>
- How are you doing? - Are you a perfect lover
and get me a cup of tea? I really don't think I can
drag my poor old bone to the table
Why is this situation? Very interesting?
Because on one side we can't not experience
this annoying woman as a brutal intruder
- There is your train. - Yes, I know.
Oh, didn't you come with us?
No, I'm vice versa direction. </ P>
- My practice is in Churley. - Oh yeah. </ P>
I am a general practitioner now.
Harvey will come out to Africa next week
Oh, how thrilling it is.
Instead of two lovers allowed at least they
just the last moment,
they have to defend their appearance
nothing happens between them,
that they are only acquaintances and so on and so on.
He must run away, or he will miss it
He must get well soon to other platforms
This is exactly the function from & apos; Big Other & apos;.
We need our stability, figure & apos; Big Other>
for whom we maintain appearance.
And I arrived at the station halfway right
one minute to spare. My dear, I'm flying
But it's true as simple as that?
Next scene, Celia Johnson's scene </ p >
really desperate, he knows he will never again
see his lover
Yes, he's a good creature.
- You know him for a long time - No, not too long.
I don't know him at all, really
Alright, I'm always have enthusiasm for the doctor.
Then we hear the line Celia Johnson's Thought
I hope I can trust you.
I hope so wise, good friends
instead of gossiping acquaintances I know
relaxed for years and never really paid attention.
What is the nature of this Celia Johnson deadlock?
She is split between two figures
in the film from & apos; Big Other>.
In the other hand it's her husband -
the ideal listener, but
is beyond the question to acknowledge it
Fred.
Dear Fred
There so much that I want to say it to you.
You're the only one in the world with enough wisdom
and tenderness to understand.
Wild horses will not drag I am far from English
and home and all things I normally do.
I mean, someone has its roots Anyway, isn't that right?
Oh, yeah, one has someone's root
On the other hand, you here it's stupid
people are available as a confession,
but no a basic trust
I hope you stop talking.
I hope you will stop prying and try to find out. </ p >
I hope you die No, I don't mean that.
That's ridiculous and not good,
but I hope you stop talking - my dear , all her hair
came out, and she said enough social life,
was pretty terrible Province, you know, and very nouveau riche
- Oh, Dolly. - What's the problem, dear?
Do you feel sick again?
So that's the tragedy of our difficulties
To be fully as individuals
we need fiction from & apos; Big Other & apos;
There must be an agency which, as if,
records our situation.
Agent where the truth we will be written,
is accepted Agent that must be acknowledged.
But what if there is > there is no agency like that
This is a desperation once of many women raped -
in the post-war Yugoslavia -
in Bosnia at early nineties.
They survive difficult circumstances
and what keeps him alive My idea must survive
frankly.
If / when - if they survive they make a terrible discovery:
there is nobody really listening to them
Either some stupid people social worker bored
or some relatives
that are usually made obscene incidents like
are you sure not > enjoy a little -
rape and so on. and so on.
They find the truth of what
Jacques Lacan claims: /> none & apos; Big Other & apos;.
Maybe there a virtual & apos; Big Other & apos;
to whom you can't confess </ p >
There may be & apos; Real Other & apos;
but never virtual
We are alone.
I think Kafka is right when he said it
for modern secular non-religious men
bureaucracy, the state bureaucracy is the only one left
contact with the divine dimension.
It's in this scene from Brazil
we see intimate relationships
between the bureaucracy and enjoyment.
What cannot be penetrated omnipotence
the port of bureaucracy
is divine pleasure.
My name is Lowry, Mr. Warren, Sam Lowry.
Intense shout bureaucratic involvement
does not serve anything
Glad you were on board.
This is performance has no purpose
it produces an extraordinary pleasure
is ready to reproduce itself forever
Between you and me, Lowry, this... no, no!
... department... send archive to get dolls
... will happen upgrade and...
Ah!
Here it is
Your own number on your own door
And behind that door, your own office
Congratulations, DZ-015. </ P>
Yes. No. Cancel it. Send two copies to Finance. </ P>
The disadvantage is that the beautiful scene
is more towards the beginning of the movie </ p >
Harry Tuttle, warming up engineer, ready to serve you
Heroes who have a problem in his apartment
with a plumbing try to get it > country agents to fix it
Are you from Central Services?
Of course, two people come, they only want forms
Untuk mengisi, mereka tidak melakukan apapun.
I was contacted Central Services.
And finally a subversive figure came:
some kind of clandestine plumber, played by Robert De Niro...
Wait a minute. Was that a business business with a gun? </ P>
Only precautions, sir. Only precautions
... who told him: "just tell me What's the problem"
and promise quickly to fix it
This is certainly just the last violation of the bureaucracy
Did you tell me this is illegal
Thank you.
Listen to children, we all enter It's together.
Lasts.
Ordinary theological universe
Your task is forced to you by God
p>
Your responsibility is to do it
But radically the atheist universe
You are not only responsible for doing your job,
You are also responsible for deciding
what is your job
There is always in our subjectivity,
in the way we experience ourselves -
minimal hysteria
Hysteria is what histories the way
we question social us, symbolic identity
You believe that God you sure not the devil
If it's a demon, the devil can be cast out
But what if it's God?
You can't be kicked out God, can you?
What is the most basic hysteria in ?
This is the question addressed to which authority
define my identity
This: "Why am I like that? tell me that I am?
In psychoanalytic theory, hysteria is much more
subversion of deviations
Misguided people don't uncertainty anymore
Hysterical positions are doubts,
very productive position
All new discoveries come from hysterical questions,
and unique characters Christianity is that
it transposes this hysterical question
to God alone as subject
Who is that? Who follows my ? < br /> What are you?
This is the smart one the idea of
The Last Temptation of Christ -
as the Kazantzakis novel and Scorsese film -
that is the idea when Jesus Christ
in his youth was told that he
was not only the Son of God, but basically God himself,
he did not just accept it. p>
This is for Jesus Christ, Son,
traumatic news like, my god, why am I dead
Am I really dead?
>
How can we get that unique point,
I think, for Christianity is an exception?
Everything starts with the Book Job -
as we all know many things turns out to be bad for Job. </ P>
He lost everything. </ P>
His house, family, hers > possessions and so on.
Three friends visited him and each one
tried to justify Job's misfortune
he did not accept this deeper meaning
At the end of the book Job, God Himself appeared,
God gave Job the right.
He says everything that the theological friend
tells Job wrong;
everything Job says is true
It means nothing in havoc.
Here we have the first step in the direction of
delegitimizing suffering
Father lives with me, <br Don't leave me
The contrast between Judaism and Christianity
is the contrast between anxiety and love.
The idea is that people Jewish God is the god of the
gap of other desires. Horrible things happen,
God is responsible but we don't
know what & apos; Big Other & apos ;, God, want from us.
What is divine desire?
To determine this traumatic experience
p>
Lacan uses Italian phrase & apos; che voglio & apos;
"What do you want?" This terrible question:
but what you want from me
The idea is that Judaism persists in this
Anxiety, as God still exists this is enigmatic
other terrible
And then Christianity finish
tension through love.
By sacrificing his child, God shows
that he loves us
So it's kind of from imaginary,
sentimental even, resolution of a situation </ p >
radical anxiety
If this becomes a case, then Christianity
will be a kind of ideological , reversal
or security from far, far
destroy Jewish insight.
But I think people can read Christian cues
in a much more radical way.
This is the order crucifixion
in the Scorsese film showing us. </ P>
What died in the cross is right
this guarantee from & apos; Big Other & apos.
Message of Christianity Here is a radical atheist.
That is the death of Christ it's nothing
commercial repayment cheating in the sense of
Christ suffering paying for our sins
Paying to whom? For what? > And so on. </ P>
This is just disintegration from God who is
guarantees the meaning of from our lives.
And that means from the famous expression:
"Eli Eli lama sabachthani?" </ p >
"Daddy, why did you? leave me?
Daddy, why are you? left me
Right before Christ Death , we get
what is psychoanalytic the term we call
subjective poverty
Step out of the total domain of </ p >
symbolic identification,
cancel or suspend the entire field
symbolic authority,
the entire field from & apos; Big Other & apos;
Of course, we don't know
what God wants of us because there is no God
This is Jesus Christ
among others, "I bring to earth not peace."
"If you do not hate you your father, mother,
" you are not my followers. "
Of course this doesn't mean that you have to be active
hate or kill your parents
I think that family relationships > stand here for
hierarchical social relations.
Christ's message is:
I am dying but my death itself is good news </ p >
Your own meaning, is surrendered to your freedom,
is in the Holy Spirit,
the Holy Spirit, the just community of believers.
It is wrong to think so
the second will come that Christ as a figure will
return somehow
Christ has is here now
Believers form a collective emancipation
This is why I claim that
is the only way to become an atheist
is through Christianity.
Christianity is a lot more atheistic than
ordinary atheism
can claim no God and so on -
but no one lacks retaining certain beliefs
into & apos; Big Other & apos ;, this is apos; Big Other & apos; can be called
natural needs, evolution or whatever
We are nobody humans less reduced to a
Harmonious position all evolution or whatever,
but the hard thing to accept again -
that there is no & apos; Big Other & apos;.
There is no reference point where guarantees meaning
We are in John Seconds Frankenheimer,
an abandoned Hollywood work from 1966 -
from the heart of from the era hippy
which was reported uncontrolled hedonism.
Be aware of your dreams, enjoy life to the full
This film is a late story /> middle class businessman
lead gray, really alienated life,
and then he decides in some cases
that he is already quite a lot.
Through one of them the friend he contacts
a mysterious agency, who offers him an agreement. </ p >
They will reorganize his life so
he will be reborn
The cost of running in the environment around
thirty thousand dollars I know this seems like
rather high but in. Besides that rather
extensive cosmetics remodeling by means of
plastic surgery for you, CPS must provide it
The fresh corpse really matches you
physical dimensions and medical specifications
CPS?
Oh , Cadaver Procurement Section
They use several bodies; they change like that
their own body. They plant this < br /> corpse, stage a pseudo accident
so that the police think he's dead.
Now, mister Wilson, you represent something
a a milestone around here.
And then, the agency arranges the most recent life
in a nice villa somewhere around LA -
they even set a good comfortable woman
stumbled on him when he was walking
along the coast.
Thus he was born again...
is no longer boring entrepreneur but as
modernist painter...
Tony Wilson
... called Tony Wilson,
no played by others rather than Rock Hudson.
So, that woman, Nora, her new love,
trying to involve her in life, Even bring it to some
wine parties where drunk people,
dance naked and so on. </ P>
Everything looks fine,
but Tony Wilson started Missing his old age.
The more he was haunted by his past.
Finally he was broken,
agency approach again,
tell them that he wants to go back
for his old life
The boss of this mysterious company,
kind of good cruel... - Hello, boy.
... the superego father figure
told the truth
He disappointed them by not being able to
adjust himself his new life.
You know, I certainly hope you will succeed,
find your dream to be reality
What?
I said, I really hope you will succeed,
find your dream come true
You can call it compassion think, kid,
but life is built on hope.
You have to keep plugging them in
you don't can give up...
and you can't let the error endanger his dream
So what's wrong here?
The problem is that his past
in that material the existence was erased.
Well here it is transport.
- What? - Surgery, sir.
He lives in a completely new place environment, new jobs,
new friends and so on.
What stays the same is his dream -
because when the company governs rebirth,
when the company gives a new existence
for him, they are simple < br /> follow his dream
His dream is wrong dreams -
and this is a pretty deep lesson for ideological theory.
Remember Just, son. We have to continue to plug in
in that dream Mistake teaches us how It's not in vain.
Remember that.
On the way to surgery < br /> hall, he found
terrible truths
He would not be reborn but he would be used as a
corpse for someone else who wants to be reborn
We have to draw the line the difference
in the field from our dreams
Between them which is the right dream
points towards the dimension far beyond
our society today and wrong dreams: </ p >
dreams that are only ideal
consumer reflection,
mirror image of our society.
We are not simple submitted to our dreams -
they just arrived some unexpected
depth and we can't do anything about it
Here is the basic lesson of psychoanalysis
and cinema fiction.
We responsible for our dreams
Our dream stage our desires,
and our desires are not objective facts
We created them, we support them,
we are responsible for them
This is an ancient area deposited lacebeds
five to ten million years ago.
The mass orgy scene in Zabriskie Point
is a good metaphor of what's wrong
with the 1960s the hippy revolution.
It was very important that Zabriskie Point was made in 1970
the original moment revolutionary energy
from the sixties has lost its power
This party is somewhere between subversions
of those that exist social order
and it's already full of estheticised
corporation is allegedly
transgressive activities into hegemonic ideology
Although Antonioni this means this
as a kind of transcendence from the constraints that exist,
we can easily imagine this shot
in some publicity campaigns.
Steps first to freedom not only to
change reality to according to your dreams -
to change the way you dream
And again, this hurts because all the satisfaction
we came from our dreams. </ P>
The highest commander Mao
put out the shaking world contact us:
You must pay attention to for the affairs of the state
and bring the great proletarians the Cultural Revolution
to the end.
One big problem all the great
revolutionary movement of the 20th century -
like Russia, Cuba or China -
is that they indeed change social bodies,
but egalitarian communists society is never realized.
Dreams remain long dreams
and they turn out to be the last nightmare
Now what's left radical left
waiting for a magical event
At that time the true revolutionary agent will finally wake up. </ P>
While the sad lesson of the last decade is that
capitalism has come true revolutionizes strength.
Even because it only serves itself.
Why can it be easier for us Imagine the end of all life on earth -
an asteroid that crashed into the planet -
rather than simple changes in our economic order?
Maybe the time has arrived to set our possibilities straight
and to be realist < br /> by demanding
what seems impossible in the economic domain.
Surprising explosion Occupying Wall Street protest,
mass mobilization in Greece,
the crowds in Tahrir square -
They all testify to the hidden the potential for a different future.
There is no historical train where we just have to go up.
It depends on us, at our will
Revolutionary murmuring some energy
or rather some utopia dreams occur, they explode -
and even if the results are actually from a social upheaval it is only a
commercialized daily life, this excess energy,
what is lost due, still not in reality, but
as dreams haunt us waiting to be redeemed
In this sense, whenever we are engaged
radically emancipatory politics
we must not forget as Walter Benjamin said
almost a century ago -
that every revolution, if it is a > authentic revolution,
is not only directed towards the future
but also redeems it a failed revolution in the past.
All ghosts, as they are; the life of dead from the past revolution
who roam, Not satisfied, finally
find their home in new freedom

I might die of cold but you will never be able to get rid of me. </ p >
