When you encounter the gaze of the Other, you meet not a seeing eye but a blind one. The gaze is not clear or penetrating, not filled with knowledge or recognition; it is clouded over and turned back on itself, absorbed in its own enjoyment. The horrible truth … is that the gaze does not see you. … You are on your own; the gaze of the Other is not confirming, it will not validate you.

—Joan Copjec

Joan Copjec tying together Freud, Lacan, Walter Benjamin, and Fritz Lang via desire in capitalism. From "Lacan꞉ The Silent Partners"

#And I mean Marx is in there too when you think of alienation as emergent from capitalism

“The affect of shame, which is searing, painful, is not — according to psychoanalysis — a feeling of being negatively judged by another but of being intimately attached to something you do not understand and which thus feels alien to you.” - Joan Copjec, The Inheritance of Potentiality: an Interview

Slavoj Žižek – Cinsellik ve Başarısız Mutlak (2023)

Slavoj Žižek, felsefi sisteminin bugüne kadarki en titiz çalışmasında, diyalektik materyalizmin yeni bir tanımını sunuyor. Bu kitabında, Alain Badiou, Robert Brandom, Joan Copjec, Quentin Meillassoux ve Julia Kristeva gibi isimlerin eserlerini yorumlamakla sınırlı kalmıyor; popüler bilimden kuantum mekaniğine, cinsel farktan analitik felsefeye uzanan bir macera vadediyor.

Foucault quoted in Copjec The Sexual Compact

[ifseenoendinis]

Joan Copjec reminding me of Fanny Howe’s writing on Virginia Woolf in “Doubt”: 

“Virginia Woolf committed suicide in 1941 when the German bombing campaign against England was at its peak and when she was reading Freud whom she had staved off until then.“

“Virginia Woolf, a maestro of lyric resistance, was frightened by Freud’s claustrophobic determinism since she had no ground of defense against it. The hideous vocabulary of mental science crushed her dazzling star-thoughts into powder and brought her latent despair into the open air. Born into a family devoted to skepticism and experiment, she had made a superhuman effort at creating a prose-world where doubt was a mesmerizing and glorious force.“

ugh

an anon asked me about copjec's conception of gender and i want to answer it but i accidentally didn't finish the ask and published it anyway (thinking i was drafting it) so it was two majorly unfinished but packed paragraphs that barely get at her point. omfg im so embarrassed like guys i prommy i have more to say! i will post my gender theory thoughts soon but i want to fully organize my points and such.
