O absolutni nemožnosti obstoja sveta: Lacan proti kozmologom

Abstract

This essay argues that the contemporary relevance of psychoanalysis and Joan Copjec’s Read My Desire can be derived from Sigmund Freud’s consistent rejection of the program of the “re-enchantment of the world.” Facing the onslaught of technological modernity, many of Freud’s contemporaries lamented the disenchantment of the world. Today, this tradition persists as a renewed desire for a shared or common world; we collectively mourn the loss of the world. But, in this context, Copjec’s work raises a disturbing question: can a sexed being have a world? In order to draw out some of the consequences of this question, the essay examines the role Immanuel Kant’s philosophy plays in Read My Desire in two steps: first, it addresses the theoretical argument against the existence of the world, and second, it examines some of the practical consequences of this insight. By providing a parallel reading of Kant’s reflections on the antinomies of cosmological ideas and Jacques Lacan’s formulae of sexuation, Copjec effectively establishes the fact that “the world” and “sex” are mutually exclusive categories.Avtor v članku trdi, da lahko sodobni pomen psihoanalize in knjige Joan Copjec Read My Desire izpeljemo iz Freudovega doslednega zavračanja programa »za-čaranja sveta«. Številni Freudovi sodobniki so se, soočeni s silnim napadom tehnološke moderne, pritoževali nad odčaranjem sveta. Danes se ta tradicija nadaljuje kot obnovitev želje po svetu, ki si ga delimo, oziroma po skupnem svetu: kolektivno žalujemo za izgubo sveta. Delo Joan Copjec v tem kontekstu zastavlja mučno vprašanje: ali ima seksuirano bitje lahko svet? Da bi izpeljal nekatere posledice tega vprašanja, avtor v dveh korakih preuči vlogo filozofije Immanuela Kanta v knjigi Read My Desire: prvič, obravnava teoretski argument proti obstoju sveta, in drugič, preuči nekatere praktične posledice tega uvida. Copjec s svojim vzporednim branjem Kantovih refleksij o antinomijah kozmoloških idej in Lacanovih formul seksuacije učinkovito pokaže, da sta »svet« in »spol« medsebojno izključujoči kategoriji
