Zizek: seems like a nob

[bluestreak]

i dunno, i'm just grasping at straws and for some reason i connect the two in my addled brain.

 

[bluestreak]

incidentally, if you google lacanian + cul-de-sac, the third article is about zizek.

 

[goldenecitrone]

ok, now tell me about Lacanianism. we never covered him in my polytechnic philosophy degree either. he's got a lot to do with Hegel doesn't he?

Just watch the Pervert's guide. And then watch the films he's talking about. Even if Lacanianism is all bollocks, Zizek will still convince you for a moment or two.

 

[discokermit]

Or a penis-end, which is sort of the point, mate.

it's nob.

 

[Orang Utan]

KNOB

 

[discokermit]

only nobs spell it with a k.

You poor, benighted Black Country wazzock. All that soot has affected your mental development. A "nob" is someone the self-esteem-challenged person tips his hat to. A knob is someone who personifies a knob, a cock-tip, a bellend.

Only the illiterate and the terminally-stupid don't.

 

[Orang Utan]

Nobs and people who can spell.
A knob is that thing younger on a door and slang for penis comes from that

Tough luck, wazzock-chops. I'm not a cockney!
And I don't call posh people "nobs" or "toffs". I call them cunts.

What's one of them, someone who doesn't bend?

I spell it 'nob' for penis too.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

projection of lacanian stuff onto the social level

What does that mean?

 

[butchersapron]

Fuck knows. Seemed a good thing to say last night.

 

[Greebo]

It sticks out, therefore it's a knob.

it's a name i've heard brought up a fair few times on urban but i know almost nothing about him or his work. this article made me think he was an idiot, but it doesn't really touch on his actual, you know, philosophy.

is there anything to it that i should be reading in order to have a greater understanding of the world around me?

He seems to me a bit like a nob too. I've wondered if some people among the 'intelligentsia' are impressed by his accent.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

I would think that most people call the forum 'nobbing and sobbing', not 'knobbing and sobbing'. But opinion appears to be divided, which means that both are acceptable. To my eyes, however, 'knob' looks wrong.

stupid intelligentsia

 

[articul8]

Nope Don't waste your time on this cul-de-sac, i beg you..

He does actually (have quite a bit to do with Hegel, via Kojeve) do a bit more background research next time, eh?

Are you hunting me? I love hegel scholars who says via kojeve. It means that they've read an intro to hegel's western european influence not hegel himself. Schoolboy error.

 

[articul8]

paranoia complex?! There are some decent studies of the French reception of Hegel (most of which is via Kojeve) :

[butchersapron]

And hegel, read him? Non-mediated.

 

[articul8]

who? Me, or them?

 

[butchersapron]

You

 

[butchersapron]

It's a threat - an intellectual threat!!!!

 

[articul8]

Well, first of all I'd start by questioning whether a non-mediated reading is possible. It would mean not having read Marx for a start!

 

[butchersapron]

Oh ffs. That was the point. Cheers for pointing out that you've also not read marx.

 

[articul8]

haha - yes, right

 

[butchersapron]

What about zizek, have you bothered reading him?
