H. Lawrence's opposition to the "frigid" woman's "rationality (that I take to be anti-feminist...)? So for Lacan is there any other way to have words not disconnected from action?

This is a neo-freudianism that lacan fought, and its basically become the way we understand psychoanalysis. I have to admit I sometimes am to blame for using language like that as well at time. Eve, In seeing her own narcissism is not enlightened in any way. If any thing she becomes blind to match the dumb of her "lover." She does become more real though. She comes very close to death, she experiences the aloneness of sexual jouissance, and she learns something. But she doesn't simply think it, or becomes conscious of a hidden thing. She achieves sexual knowledge, which is words not disconnected from action It is definitely not a conscious realization of demons or suppressed material.

Thanks so much for the link, and I'll reciprocate.<br/>I think you might like listening to "Holy Week and Shamanism" on our parish website at www.redeemer-kenmore.org, Father John's homily!<br/>On Aron's post, I'd like to mention that as a very little girl, my Mom angrily pulled me away from the other children starting to watch "Cinderella" during an Atlantic ocean-liner crossing. I was deeply sad and bewildered by my Mom (as usual), but caught a glimpse of a yellow cat on screen. I believed for years that the movie was about that yellow cat; she was the heroine I would have learned about.... When a yellow tabby joined our family later on, guess what I named it? Then in a Lenten Renewal group as an adult I mentioned my earliest sense of God coming from the unconditional love of that yellow cat (not my family). Afterwards, many of the women came up to me and said it was the same for them.... My misunderstood Yellow Cat Totem!<br/>Aron, can you say more about the significance of "recognizing one's desire" for Lacan? Is it the typical therapeutic idea of liberation through conscious insight, or something else? Does "naming my demons" mean making the Dumb speak? Do we want to?

Aron, can you say more about the significance of “recognizing one’s desire” for Lacan? Is it the typical therapeutic idea of liberation through conscious insight, or something else? Does “naming my demons” mean making the Dumb speak? Do we want to?
