Where do I start with Lacan?
Non French speaker, have read a bit of Zizek and feel interested in Lacan, but have heard that his introduction is insubstantial. Any recommendations or maze charts?

But to understand Lacan you have to read some foucault, freud, and zizek. And to get zizek you have to read hegal. Have fun.

I need to finish it
Start with the Seminars. Move on to Ecrits. Also check out Lacanian Ink.
lacan is a fraud hack obscurantist and zizek is a meme with no substantial thoughts, skip both

Difference breeds identity and vice-versa.
Symbolic – subconscious association of signs and symbols. “The unconscious is the discourse of the Other.”
Imaginary – cultures and ideologies constructed through the symbolic realm.
Real – we can never attain the Real through language. We can only approach it like a mathematical limit.
The Other is Us.
The object of our desire is unattainable since its basis is in ideology (Imaginary).
The phallus is the square-root of minus one (Imaginary). Gender identity is a social construction.
The Woman does not exist (Imaginary). Again, gender identity is a social construction.

I chuckled. Still wrong though.
Lacan never gets any love around here. It's always LE FUNNY IDEOLOGY MAN THIS LE FUNNY IDEOLOGY MAN THAT, AND SO ON.

Both of these writers intentionally write in such a way that they can claim you misinterpreted them if you point out the harmful implications of their ideology. Just load up the Postmodernism Generator instead of wasting your time with these frauds.
