Looks like it is the forums’ time! It is the finest hour of OPF!
I don’t know how to do that or even take a screenshot on my phone.
What kind of phone do you have?
Check out if any of these guys wrote about werewolves themeatically and therianthropy and metamorphosis and transformation and you may find some really interesting work and writing by Freud and its references and uses by Lacan. The idea of the werewolf was a big thing in both Germany and France and had an influence on writers in Economy, Psychiatry, Psychology, Politics as well as the term vampire but with eventually differing uses but both were frequently used or mentioned, even in the writings or Marx and as a major theme in Man Into Wolf or whatever this one book was called.
Lacan and other Freudian theorists were interested in aspects such as Batesian Mimicry and aspects of the uncanny as well as deviance related to the Wolf Man or Werewolf motif from history and in the popular culture.
Vampires were the villification of greedy landlords.
I will bear all of this in mind, all sounds like transformation and the ‘monstrous arrivant’ to me at the moment.
What you are is the limit. :smugblue:
It’s an easier read than the Derrida one, haven’t struggled with philosophy like that since Nietzsche.
An internal epic.
An episteme always forgets the episteme before it – what Nietzsche calls ‘the great forgetting’.
What do you think of Nietzsche’s ‘way of the creator’?
I see, never heard that term before. I thought you were saying ‘Lycanthropy’, some stuff to do with vampires or werewolves lol
Yes, Lacan is highly influenced by Freud and starts with a ‘return to Freud’.
Can you PM @”Ontical” to explain the technical problems you are having? Send a screenshot if you can.
This is about Jacques Lacan, the French Psychoanalyst.
Think I will start on this. The Real, Symbolic and Imaginary is something I want to understand.
Interesting take. I am still looking at it as a story of looking beyond for ‘more than’ without seeing what is right before your eyes here and now.
I think I will have to go back and read about Kristeva’s ‘Monstotous Feminine’ after reading this chapter on Monsters – seems it could be talking about this ‘arrivant’.
Chapter 8 brings back the notion of a virus contagion, that philosophy and literature are cross contaminated.
On chapter 7 Differance.
