[...]What is desired? “Not the shoe, neither the breast, nor the famous piece of hair with which you may embody the fetish. The fetish causes desire. Desire goes off to hook on wherever it can. It is not necessary for the speaker to be wearing the little shoe, it just has to be in the vicinity. It’s not even necessary for her to be the one that bears the breast, the breast can be in someone’s head...” Like Lacan’s erotics, the fetish is a point in space. Let it transgress the law, it puts you in a relationship to desire that goes beyond interdiction. An erotics of space on the University scene, the actual staging is about jouissance, but you can also construct the erotics of space in jouissance[...]
Rapunzel Americans are so stupid, always talking about their mental health — "I am depressed, I have anxiety, I’m going ‘crazy.’" However, the American psychoanalyst rarely speaks of particular cases. Analysts speak amongst themselves about eating babies, their patients’ requests to fuck them, the sadomasochistic exchanges that occur in their offices, but for some reason Americans have repressed the actual study of particular patients. Now thanks to Obama, Justin Bieber/Dakota Fanning, Freddy Carter, Americans are liberated and free.
Because the truth is, it is already public knowledge that Dakota Fanning doesn’t have babies because she’s afraid that she’s going to eat them—not to mention her lack of elbows and fetishizing of unicorns. And then of course there is Britney’s psychosis, and Miley’s hysteria. My stars, has anyone in Europe seen the Taylor Swift Blank Space video? The state of love in this country, it is so incredibly tormented. Is the state of love in the rest of the world this tormented? Now I’m not a lesbian, despite some things I may have told my analyst, but that Taylor Swift video sometimes makes me want to be a man so badly, I can’t even stand it!
We are fascinated by these wicked dolls. The wicked others. Is it the repressed America clinging to its puritanical origins that makes it so curious? Their liberalism turned in on itself, constricted by political correctness. Is this the instance when behaviorism collapses and a monster appears in the form of domestic terrorist?
