- This video gives a brief overview of Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Purloined Letter," then discusses, first, Jacques Lacan’s analysis of the tale, and then Jacques Derrida’s challenge to that analysis. This path requires a look at Ferdinand de Saussure's structural linguistics as well.
Enormous thanks to Izzie Murphy, whose marvelous illustrations appear throughout. For her work on the project Ms. Murphy was awarded an Undergraduate Research Grant for Creative Activity by Kennesaw State University.
this is the most clear ive ever been on lacans lecture on the purloined letter
great to hear, seriously
Todd McGowan does a pretty great job, but I like this guy’s narrative, theatrical flair!
I did not expect to find such a clear and thoughtful explanation of the Purloined letter on RUclips, thank you for the help with my seminar on Derrida!
I'm glad it was useful! -- thanks for tuning in
Wow, what a great video! Why has this not been viewed thousands of times?
thanks for watching!
RUclipsrs generally prefer to stay locked up in their caves (rightly so).
Absolutely lovely work! Beautiful! Bravo! Encore!!
wow thank you!
Besides the brilliant interpretation you gave of Poe Lacan Derrida triangle, I want to note that you have such love and compasion for others to make an elaborate video to share your knowledge. Since I lost mine I wonder where such loves come from!
It's the same compassion that leads you to give encouraging feedback on RUclips. You haven't lost it!
I've watched your introduction to post-structuralism just today and now I m watching this, great creation !
It encourages me to keep reading all these authors that are often "criticized" (if not insulted, made fun of) by people that barely gave any attention to their work.
It's funny that I am french, and sometimes understand better certain concepts when explained in english videos like yours !
Thanks for being a step in this weird journey !
Merci bien! Welcome
If someone tells you not to read someone, read them immediately IMO!
Brilliant, keep it coming :))))
thank you!
very good, bravo.
Ok I’ve been won over. SUBSCRIBED.
welcome!
Lacan described a continual slippage of the signified under the signifier which, for neurotic subjects, is stabilized at 'points de capiton' ("quilting/attachment points). Whence their failure, psychotic experience affirms their tenuous hold.
Yes, but the slippage Lacan is talking about is the sign of neurosis and even psychosis. For the "normal" individual, the expected Saussurean "attachment" holds. (whereas for Derrida there is no dichotomy, nothing to be "linked" in the first place)
Let’s quilt this session here, shall we?
Great video, thanks a lot! I was wondering what the difference is between this alterity/play that enables reading/the process of signification and the Lacanian phallus (the -1, the zero signifier that seems to function in a similar way). Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with this question!
Thanks for watching! I can't quite see an analogy where you're pointing, but that's probably because there's a limit to my Lacan. Too deep a cut, maybe!
Excellent work. Subscribed.
thank you!
