This paper explores this strange non-coincidence of death (and life) with itself. Following various authors (Lacan, de Sade), it develops the thesis that the difference between the “real” (empirical) and the symbolic is not sufficient to explain this irreducible surplus of life, this undeadness, which is not the same as “symbolic life.” Rather, it corresponds to a surplus of life that occurs as a by-product of the symbolic, but which is not itself symbolic or covered by it. Lacanian theory differs from the so-called “linguistic turn” in that it alerts us to the following paradox: language is not reducible (back) to language. It is because of language that another, additional non-linguist...

V zadnjem času še toliko manj, saj tudi nekatere najbolj bizarne med njimi masovno vstopajo v javni prostor, v mainstream, celo v uradno politiko. Najbolj eklatanten primer je tu verjetno navezava QAnona na osebo in politiko Donalda Trumpa. Prispevek najprej analizira nekatere razloge za preboj teorij zarot v mainstream, nato pa se posveti raziskovanju in opredelitvi treh ključnih aspektov teorije zarot: kategoriji velikega Drugega kot velikega Manipulanta, strasti do interpretacije in notranji povezavi med ustvarjanjem smisla in užitkom.

What is the use of investigating the comical from philosophical and psychoanalytic perspectives? In The Odd One In, Alenka Zupancic considers how philosophy and psychoanalysis can help us understand the movement and the logic involved in the practice of comedy, and how comedy can help philosophy and psychoanalysis recognize some of the crucial mechanisms and vicissitudes of what is called humanity. Comedy by its nature is difficult to pin down with concepts and definitions, but as artistic form and social practice comedy is a mode of tarrying with a foreign object -- of including the exception. Philosophy's relationship to comedy, Zupancic writes, is not exactly a simple story (and indeed includes some elements of comedy). It could begin with the lost book of Aristotle's Poetics, which discussed comedy and laughter (and was made famous by Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose). But Zupancic draws on a whole range of philosophers and exemplars ...
