…of a minor text, except in the case of Aaron. Yeah, and the whole series includes... various luminary texts, including by Mladen Dolar and Alenka Zhubankin and even Zizek. So the whole series is worth investing in. But in Aaron's case, instead of taking…
…yourself, you discover fundamental fantasies, which means fundamental lies and so on. There is nothing redeeming in it. And my friend Mladen Dolar discovered this, that there is Freud reports of an anecdote, which is one of the most beautiful that I know,…
…reasons? Maybe Jelle could answer this one. Yes, I have a great answer, but it's not mine, actually. It's from Mladen Dolar, Slavoj's friend. Mladen Dolar. You probably know him as a philosopher. Anyhow, Mladen Dolar said that the function of marriage…

…but it's not mine, actually. It's from Mladen Dolar, Slavoj's friend. Mladen Dolar. You probably know him as a philosopher. Anyhow, Mladen Dolar said that the function of marriage is that it sort of liberates you from constant tension of proving your love…
…around. What disappears in this reading is, as was pointed out by the other to members of my Lacanian gang, Alenka and Mladen Dolar, the negation of negation is a failure of negation. First, negation is by no means strange to Hegel. Let me just give…
…in mutual unhappiness and discontent, with Zina as a constant presence between the two of them. It's the ultimate case of what Mladen Dolar believes proposed as a formula of being as a failed non as a failed non-being. And I don't have time to develop…
…my part. You know, for me as a Lacanian Hegelian, Antagonism always involves three points, never two. That's why, as Naden Dolar used this example years ago from Kierkegaard, where Kierkegaard quotes a wonderful, some Danish comic writer who said, all people…
…and homework. One tries to shine with energy on Zoom, but one sits tired and alone at home. My friend Mladen Dolar designated our situation with the term borrowed from Walter Benjamin, Dialectic in Stillstand. Dialectic at standstill, but also in suspense,…
…the very logic of capitalist desire Capitalist motivation is threatened, is threatened now. Like my colleague Alenka Zupancic and Mladen Dolar, both other members of our Ljubljana Troika, pointed out, I think, how, you know, we usually designate capitalism as…
…we react, the code of discretion, what can be said, what cannot be said. For example, recently I was with my friend Mladen Dolar, another Slovene, Lacanian, Hegelian philosopher in United States and a strange thing happened to us. We were at a dinner and…
…there is nothing... subversive in perversion. The only truly subversive position is hysterical questioning. Hysteria is, as my friend Mladen Dolar developed 30 years ago already, in a wonderful short text called Beyond Interpellation, if the basic operation of…
…they are not cynicists. It means they were well aware that humor as such is ambiguous. You know where I discovered this? And Mladen Dolar, who is also here, my friend, drew attention to it years ago. You remember 30 years ago when the big hit was…
…hysteria, not perversion, which is the radical questioning. Which is why, and this was developed by my other good friend, Vladan Dolar, already 30 years ago, in a wonderful text called Beyond Interpellation. This is why exaggerating a little bit, and insofar…
…Beckett from whom I took this, Alenka Zupanchi in her wonderful book which is doing very well, What is Sex? And then... Mladen Dolar, the third member, he will now publish, we ironically call it his écrit, over 500 pages collected text with Bloomsbury as…
…as a rule for wrong reasons. It projects, like, it's the same thing that I said about Balkan. You know, my friend Mladen Dolar proposed this wonderful formula 20 years ago that European unconscious is structured like Balkan. And that was my thesis why I…
…doing very well. Absolutely. No, no, we are now exploding. I mean, now we will really be Troika, not just me. Because Mladen Dolar will publish soon my other good Lacanian friend with Bloomsbury. We ironically refer to it as his ecree. Six, seven hundred…
…And also my good friend, the other Slovene Lacanian, Alenka Zupancic, he's the greatest of our Stalinist Slovene Troika. Me, Mladen Dolar and Alenka Zupancic. She published in French, in English, in German, a book, Illusion of the Real, Kant avec Lacan.…
…kind of endless compromises. You mentioned this, Avital, and I have even a system of them. All this, my friend, Mladen Dolar, called them this, the Freudian fair, fair as in, verwerfung. Rejection, foreclosure is not a good term. Repression, verdrängung.…
…same goes, you find this in Republic. It's repeated then in his thick later work, The Loss. What's so interesting, my friend Mladen Dolar in his book on The Voice, which appeared by MIT years ago, developed the entire line, this is a fascinating topic…
…only person, even you admit it, look deep into your heart, you at least tried maybe some marijuana or what. Everyone did. My friend Mladen Dolar, the old wise guy, was a grown kid at his home. I never did I try, not even nothing. It's just I am…
…stuff, but just to get the point. The fear of entire history of musical theory. Are you aware of this? My friend Mladen Dolar, who wrote that wonderful book, Voice and Nothing More, he found all these quotes. The... The earliest, what we can call from…
…Hysteria is basically an attitude of questioning. Like, and even, one can even claim that hysteria is, my friend Mladen Dolar developed this nicely, that hysteria is the Kenyan answer to Althusser's interpolation. Interpolation is the social order which…
…It worked. It wasn't evil, but it worked. The guy looked at me, oh, it doesn't function, thanks, and left. Mladen Dolar, hardly liberal emotionally, but politically... Then he went to Mladen Dolar with the same complaint. Mladen Dolar tried to help…
…looked at me, oh, it doesn't function, thanks, and left. Mladen Dolar, hardly liberal emotionally, but politically... Then he went to Mladen Dolar with the same complaint. Mladen Dolar tried to help him. No, it's not like that. You know the result? That…
…function, thanks, and left. Mladen Dolar, hardly liberal emotionally, but politically... Then he went to Mladen Dolar with the same complaint. Mladen Dolar tried to help him. No, it's not like that. You know the result? That for two, three weeks, this guy…
…whatever, mother, teacher, revolutionary, you have a certain identity. And now I'm referring to the other of my Slovene colleagues, Mladen Dolar, who did a wonderful text already 25 years ago, Beyond Interpretation. It was really an ingenious move where he…
…what we are all fighting about. Alenka Zupancic is now doing a new book about ontology and sexual difference, approaching this problem. Mladen Dolar is doing some stuff. I am now doing... a new book, Figaro's Negativity, where I try to, and I have many…
…it for you. That's why this was first developed by my good friend, part of my Slovene Lacanian gang, Mladen Dolar, of how hysteria is the necessary supplement to... to what Althusser called ideological interpolation. The ideological interpolation fails you…
…ready to go here a step further, where probably no one will follow me. You know, again, I refer to my friend Mladen Dolar, who made recently in a debate we had in Slovenia a wonderful observation. You know this thesis 11, you know, philosophers have…
…My first counterpoint here would have been a beautiful paradox. I developed it in a debate with my good friend Mladen Dolar. Namely, you know... It's a critical point about Marx, you know, about his thesis, philosophers have only interpreted the world,…
…very perfection that it disturbs. Now I come to a little bit more of a theory. I rely here on my good friend Mladen Dolar whom I follow here. Because I claim that this object A, this disturbing axis, has a precise function. It's the weak point, the…
…some element which, and it is this element which stands for the failure of classification. Now, in Marx, here I follow Mladen Dolar, He introduced even two types of this paradoxical classification. The first one is when in Capital he talks about market…
…and so on and so on. We have now a volume which will be edited. All my friends, the Slovene gang, Alenka Zubancic, Mladen Dolar, our Aaron Schuster, a great young voice of progressive thought, which means a young Lacanian, and so on. So let me begin at…
…which is really a child of love, you know. It's here, a three days Hegel Congress. With my Slovene friends, Alenka Zupancic, Mladen Dolar, we got all the guys we like, Katrin Manabu, Rebecca Comey, Frank Ruda, and so on. And it will be pure madness…
…the Big Red Book, let me now approach this problem. Here, I lie here to a deep conversation with my good friend Mladen Dolar. Hegel cannot think, or so it appears. A series of concepts, mostly elaborated by psychoanalysis and Marxism. It looks that Hegel…
…year ago with my Slovene friends in L.A. at Irvine, staying there, no, just at a dinner party with a friend, my Slovene friend, Mladen Dolar, his name I can tell, not the other guy, is a heavy smoker, so he asked towards the end if he can take... get…
…which condemned the third. But doesn't he know that 14 is really... For example, it happened to me and a friend of mine when Mladen Dolar, when four years ago, I think three or four, we were in Harvard giving a talk. And then I said this to us. After…
…for certain standards. Okay, getting lost here, let me begin with, again, how proud I am to be here, as my friend Mladen Dolar explained to me What like him, what I, Really like here is already the subtitle of this institution. It's blah, blah, blah,…
…I will recycle myself. Something new, there will be some original idea, something borrowed, yes, especially from my Slovene friends, Mladen Dolar and Palenka Zupancic, and here there is a problem. Not something blue, you will get something red at the end,…
…stories, you should always ask yourself, is there a moment of truth in them? You know, it's the same as with that Mladen Dolar, my friend wrote about it nicely, that totally crazy theory of truth. how to unite Darwinism and Christianity. You know the…
…debate, I already A little bit more than one year ago, I was at Harvard with a friend of mine from Slovenia, Mladen Dolar, and at the dinner after our presentations, we had some eight, nine people, we didn't know each other, so an old professor…
