Pynchon getting a comedian to accept an award for him, and everyone actually thought it was him because he doesn't get seen much

I just watched the video of the student interrupting Lacan and I have no clue what the fuck happened. I understand the French words they're saying, and I can read the subtitles, but that gets me nowhere.

The student is a situationist, that's all I gathered. It's been a long time since I watched the video.

This makes me cringe a bit, but it's an interesting confrontation nevertheless.

dude, some journalism major intern for a shitty middle brow place like the atlantic should track down the lacan-sperg and do a "where are they now" about them, although the average atlantic reader probably doesn't know who lacan is, but still, someone should, or maybe one of his relatives will come forward, like how when you watch old soul train videos on youtube some kid is always like "omg that's my aunt gyrating her ass for the camera at 2:33!" etc.

I really don't get this kid's motivation or Lacan's response. I don't know anything about Continental philosophy.

I think the message is clear for me. when you are a college student, you have lots of expectations about life being good, simple, without problems... then you see the real world again, and nothing is like that. and you become one of those who you think are so despicable, so enjoy whatever what you were doing, enjoy the fake show... because you'll become that anyway.

You can see the layers of analysis peeling like an onion in Lacan's eyes as he assumes as a gentle, fatherly demeanor for the student
weirdly interesting
>>7354875
Can you explain what the convo was actually about?
It seems the college student was blaming Lacan for being part of a structure that stifles revolutionary movements and then Lacan sort of said his argument was too emotional and had no purpose?
>>7354878
pretty much, the student was spouting guy debord's 'society of the spectacle' something or other, some kind of situationist sentiment to disrupt the teaching, which he sees as 'establishment' &c, spilling water on the table as an 'authentic action'. Lacan dismissed him to save the flow of the lecture, probably laughing inwardly at how appropriate the 'moment' was the student chose to disrupt
Bump, newspaper nerds
