For They Know Not What They Do: Enjoyment as a Political Factor


Description

Psychoanalysis is less merciful than Christianity. Where God the Father forgives our ignorance, psychoanalysis holds out no such hope. Ignorance is not a sufficient ground for forgiveness since it masks enjoyment; an enjoyment which erupts in those black holes in our symbolic universe that escape the Father s prohibition. Today, with the disintegration of state socialism, we are witnessing this eruption of enjoymnet in the re-emergence of aggressive nationalism and racism. With the lid of repression lifted, the desires that have emerged are far from democratic. To explain this apparent paradox, says Slavoj i[ek, socialist critical thought must turn to psychoanalysis. "For They Know Not What They Do" seeks to understand the status of enjoyment within ideological discourse, from Hegel through Lacan to these political and ideological deadlocks. The author s own enjoyment of popular culture makes this an engaging and lucid exposition, in which Hegel joins hands with Rossellini, Marx with Hitchcock, Lacan with Frankenstein, high theory with Hollywood melodrama."

The world lies in ruins...humanity's last stand is underway...the dead have overtaken the living as the new dominant species. Day By Day Armageddon: Shattered Hourglassexpands upon the critically acclaimed series of the zombie apocalypse, and alternates between the handwritten journal depicting a military personnel's struggle for survival and the survivors he has met along the way-mankind's final hope in its darkest hours. Trapped in the midst of global disaster, they must individually and collectively make the agonizing For They Know Not What They Do: Enjoyment as a Political Factor download ebook decisions that could mean either living for yet another day, or the eternal curse of forever walking among the undead horde... This book provides a state-of-the-art survey of intonation and prosodic structure. Taking a phonological perspective, it shows how morpho-syntactic constituents are mapped to prosodic constituents according to well-formedness conditions. Using a tone-sequence model of intonation, it explores individual tones and how they combine, and discusses how information structure affects intonation in several ways, showing tones and melodies to be 'meaningful' in that they add a pragmatic component to what is being said. The author also shows how despite a superficial similarity, languages differ in how their tonal patterns arise from tone concatenation. Lexical tones, stress, phrase tones, and boundary tones are assigned differently in different languages, resulting in great variation in intonational grammar, both at the lexical and sentential level. The last chapter is dedicated to experimental studies of how we process prosody. The book will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in linguistics, and particularly in phonological theory.
