Thanks so much, looking forward to the next mini lectures. I’m 18, and before the war started, my plan was to go to university in Siberia and learn Russian. My poor parents were confused why I did not want to go to a good home New Zealand university, but travel around the world to live at alone at a cheap Siberian uni - my uncertain reply was something about “adventure” or the value of learning a new language. With Russia being unavailable, my mum and I were looking online at accommodation for New Zealand universities just yesterday, with Russia not an option at this point. Two things made me deeply uncomfortable on that webpage - first the price, I told my mother I could not bear for her to spend that amount per week on accommodation. Second, there was a photo of students busily serving themselves at a buffet, chatting and laughing in classic New Zealand outfits and expressions. My gut response was “get away!”. I spent the next hour researching homestays in Senegal where I would hope to improve my french!
hold on, doesn't freud make clear that the melancholic subject maintains the relationship with the object even when the object is physically lost? isn't that equivalent to say that it is the presence, not the loss of the object, that causes melancholia?
“Do I need to read you the passage to jog your memory? After having gone through into the notion of the reversion of the professed object libido on the subject’s own ego, Freud affirms - he’s the one who says this - that, in melancholia, this process clearly doesn’t come to a conclusion because the object takes the helm. The object triumphs.” -Seminar X

yeah, not sure what that "grigg proposes" was all about ... weird
Hysteric greetings from Munich! Great Lecture - the white board looks terrible but turns out to be very useful.
