#objectivation

I'm so thankful for my AMAZING mutuals (and even better, my 30+ followers), I'm going to get my (free) O/F up as soon as possible. I hope you enjoy (or even better tell me HOW you enjoyed) this in the meantime <3

What is an "ob-ject"?

A so-called "object" is a perceived lack within a given dimension that indicates the absence of its own essential substance, while also subsisting as the form and content of an entity in the imagination.

In Lacanian psychoanalysis, the dimensions that are dealt with are called real, symbolic, and imaginary. A dimension is a domain of both speech and meaning, linked to both vocables and phonemes alike.

Moving on to the topic of gender: When observing human behavior, what Judith Butler coined as "performativity" makes the concept and functions of gender into just such an object. For Judith Butler, gender is precisely what is missing from human activity in both form and content, and anything that may be called a "performance" acts around this construction if it is something concretely perceptible at all. So in reality, gender is a lack that is detected within a certain dimension that defers to the responsibility of an agent. And this deferral acts back upon the emptied entity in a moment, and reconstitutes its boundaries into an object. This is how I define "objectivation".

Therefore, as object, this lack called "gender" objects to its own disappearance through performativity. The humor-value of the masquerade is subsequently a result of what Lacan refers to as jouis-sens, or jouissance of the unconscious, because the lapse of logic which makes any kind of gendered "spectacle" into something comical or entertaining is derived from the faultiness of the two separate lacks in their direct connection to one another within the unity of a singular agent. (I think, anyway). It is interesting that it must fall back on this disappearance of heterosexist paradigms of behavior in order to be a positive manifestation of culture.

Les hommes sont-ils plus féministes pour leurs filles que pour leurs femmes ?

Et si les hommes étaient plus “féministes” pour leurs filles que pour leurs femmes ?

C’est la question que soulève un article du New York Times intitulé Pourquoi les hommes veulent épouser des Mélanias et élever des Ivankas en s’appuyant sur l’exemple de la famille Trump.
