Jaques Lacan :- Desire

[caption id="attachment_57" align="aligncenter" width="250" caption="Jacques Lacan"][/caption]

In Lacanian Psychoanalysis the term desire designates the impossible relation that a subject has with object petit a . "Object petit a" means unattainable object of desire. It is sometimes called the object cause of desire.  According to French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist Jaques Lacan(1901 – 1981), desire proper (in contrast with demand) can never be fulfilled.

Lacan argues that desire first occurs during a "mirror phase" of a baby's development, when the baby sees an image of wholeness in a mirror which gives them a desire for that being. As a person matures, Lacan claims that they still feel separated from themselves by language, which is incomplete, and so a person continually strives to become whole. He uses the term "jouissance" to refer to the lost object or feeling of absence which a person believes to be unobtainable.

1820. यूजीन उनेगिन एक ऊब से पीड़ित पीटर्सबर्ग का बांका, जिसके जीवन में नाच और संगीत पार्टियों के सिवा कुछ भी नहीं है. एक दिन उसे अपने चाचा से विरासत से संपत्ति मिल जाती है . जब वह दिहात चला जाता है, वह व्लादिमीर लेंसकी  नाम के अपने पड़ोसी, एक अनुभवहीन युवा कवि के साथ दोस्ती कर लेता है . एक दिन, लेंसकी उनेगिन को अपनी  मंगेतर, बहिर्मुखी और बल्कि अल्हड़ ओल्गा लरीना के परिवार के साथ भोजन करने के लिए ले जाता है. इस बैठक में ओल्गा की गंभीर पुस्तक प्रेमी बहन, तात्याना, उनेगिन के साथ प्यार में पड़ जाती है. इसके तुरंत बाद, तात्याना उनेगिन प्रति अपने प्यार के इज़हार का एक पत्र लिखती है. उसकी उम्मीदों के विपरीत उनेगिन पत्र का जवाब नहीं देता है. अगली बार जब वो मिलते हैं  तो उनेगिन ने एक भाषण से उसकी पेशकश को खारिज कर दिया. उनेगिन नसीहत जैसा कुछ बोलता जाता है और डिप्लोमेटिक तरीके से आपने प्रेम के बारे में धारणाओं की आड़ में तात्याना को ठुकरा देता है .

बाद में, लेंसकी शरारत से उनेगिन को  तात्याना नाम दिन उत्सव के लिए आमंत्रित करता है. उसे बस इतना बताता है कि इस छोटी सी सभा में तात्याना, उसकी बहन, और उसके माता पिता के और कोई नहीं होगा . जब उनेगिन आता है वह देखता है कि वहाँ एक विशाल दिहाती नाच पार्टी  है जो सेंट पीटर्सबर्ग की नाच पार्टियों (जिन से उनेगिन ऊभ चूका था) की पैरोडी है. उनेगिन आपने और तात्याना के बारे में गपशप के चलते मेहमानों के साथ और उसे आने के लिए राजी करने के लिए लेंसकी साथ चिढ़ जाता है ,. वह ओल्गा के साथ नृत्य और छेड़खानी करके बदला लेने का फैसला करता है. ओल्गा अपने मंगेतर के प्रति असंवेदनशील और जाहिरा तौर पर उनेगिन कि तरफ आकर्षित है. आपनी अतिरंजित ईमानदारी और अनुभवहीनता के कारण बुरी तरह से घायल  लेंसकी  उनेगिन को एक द्वंद्वयुद्ध के लिए चुनौती देता है जिसे परम्परागत अपेक्षाओं से प्रेरित उनेगिन अनिच्छा से स्वीकार करता है. द्वंद्वयुद्ध में, ना चाहते हुए भी उनेगिन लेंसकी को मार देता है, बाद में उस पर दु: ख व्यक्त करता है . उनेगिन फिर पछतावे की भावनाओं को यात्रा से ठंडा करने के लिए अपनी दिहात की जागीर से निकल पड़ता है .

तात्याना उनेगिन की हवेली में जाती है जहां वह उसकी पुस्तकों और उनके मार्जिनों में उसके नोट्स को पढ़ती है, और उसे यह सवाल दरपेश आता है कि कया उनेगिन का चरित्र विभिन्न साहित्यिक नायकों का एक कोलाज मात्र है, और वास्तव में कोई “ वास्तविक उनेगिन " नहीं है.

कई साल बीत चुके हैं और दृश्य मॉस्को का है , जहां उनेगिन सबसे प्रमुख नाच पार्टियों में भाग लेने और पुराने रूसी समाज के नेताओं के साथ बातचीत के लिए पहुंचा है. वह सब से खूबसूरत औरत, जिसने अब सभी के ध्यान कब्जा कर रखा है और पार्टी के लिए केंद्रीय है, को देखता है, और उसे यह जान पड़ा कि यह तो वही तात्याना है जिसके प्यार को उसने एक बार ठुकरा दिया था. अब वह एक वृद्ध जनरल से विवाहित है. यह "नयी" तात्याना देखने पर, इस तथ्य के बावजूद कि वो अब शादीशुदा है वह उसको प्यार से जीतने की कोशिश करता है. लेकिन उसे तात्याना स्वीकार नहीं करती . वह उसे कई पत्र लिखता है लेकिन कोई उत्तर प्राप्त नहीं होता . उपन्यास समाप्त होता है जब उनेगिन तात्याना को मिलने जाता है और उसे अपने पिछले प्यार को नवीनीकृत करने का अवसर प्रस्तुत करता है . तात्याना उसे एक भाषण से ठुकरा देती है , जिसमें उनेगिन की पहले की नसीहत की झलक है , जहां वह  उसके प्रति अपने प्यार और फिर भी अपने पति के लिए पूर्ण निष्ठा ,दोनों को कबूल करती है .

Sigmund Freud :- Theory of Dreams

[caption id="attachment_49" align="aligncenter" width="198" caption="Sigmund Freud"][/caption]

Freud maintained the notion that the dream fundamentally acts as the guardian of sleep. When we go to bed, the curtains are drawn, the lights are turned off and in effect we are attempting to disconnect from our reality by extinguishing all external stimuli. During the night, the mind protects the sleeper from being disturbed by reacting to further external stimuli (noise, temperature, light, the need to urinate, numb arm/leg, pain, etc) as well as all internal stimuli (emotions, fears, dissatisfaction, desires, previous day’s activity) by manufacturing dreams.

Freud’s work was solely concerned with internal stimuli. Essentially, for a person to continue to sleep undisturbed strong negative emotions, forbidden thoughts and unconscious desires have to be disguised or censored in some form or another. Otherwise, confronted by these, the dreamer would become distressed and they would eventually wake up. Therefore the dream, if understood correctly, could lead to a greater understanding of the dreamer’s subconscious.

A New Thinking Communist Mohit Sen

[caption id="attachment_40" align="alignright" width="144" caption="Mohit Sen on the Cover of his Autobiography"][/caption]

Born in 1929 in a distinguished westernised
Brahmo Samaj family in Calcutta, Mohit Sen
was educated in Calcutta and Cambridge. It
was at Cambridge that Sen met mathematics
scholar Vanaja Iyengar, and the two decided
to marry. He also received his party card at
Cambridge.

From 1950 to 1953, Mohit Sen was in People’s Republic of China, where he attended the International Communists School in Beijing. Subsequently he worked at the central office of the CPI, beingeventually elected to the party’s Central Executive Committee.He later parted with the CPI, persuaded by his thinking that the Communist movement should ally with the nationalist stream in India’s public affairs. He then founded the United Communist Party of India.
Mohit Sen passed away in 2003, shorty after the publication of his autobiography. Of Sen’s memoirs, Eric Hobsbawm, the celebrated historian of the twentieth century, has noted that “… it is a most remarkable book, written with unremitting passion and love, with acute observation of those who gave their lives to the cause, but with skeptical judgment. In my view no more illuminating first-hand book on the history of Indian Communism has been written, nor is likely to be written … India was lucky to enter independence with people as honest, as selfless, and as devoted to the service of the people as he.”
A widely acknowledged intellectual communist, Sen wrote for India’s leading journals. His other writings include Revolution in India: Problems and Perspectives, Glimpses of the History of the Communist Movement in India, Maoism and the Chinese Revolution, Congress and Socialism and Naxalites and the Communists.

From Prison Memoirs by Wang Dan

[caption id="attachment_27" align="aligncenter" width="267" caption="Wang Dan "][/caption]

Wang Dan was a leader of the 1989 student pro-democracy protest in Tiananmen Square. Following the government crackdown on June 4, Wang, who was on the government's most wanted list, went into hiding. He was arrested in 1990 and sentenced to four years imprisonment in 1991. After being released on parole in 1993, Wang wrote publicly about the pro-democracy movement to overseas publications and was rearrested in 1995 for conspiring to overthrow the Communist Party. He was sentenced in 1996 to eleven years in prison. Just before President Bill Clinton's China visit in 1998, Wang was released on medical parole and was flown to the United States for treatment.

Slavoj Žižek :- Toilet Theory

"In a traditional German toilet," writes Zizek, "the hole into which [excrement] disappears after we flush is right at the front, so that [it] is first laid out for us to sniff and inspect for traces of illness. In the typical French toilet, on the contrary, the hole is at the back, i.e. [excrement] is supposed to disappear as quickly as possible. Finally, the American (Anglo-Saxon) toilet presents a synthesis, a mediation between these opposites: the toilet basin is full of water, so that the [excrement] floats in it, visible, but not to be inspected."


As it happens, Zizek's scatological metaphor is a reflection, "in the most intimate domain," as he puts it, of a famous "triad" that has long shaped European politics . Hegel, among many others, noted that the chief German attitude toward life was "reflective thoroughness," while the predominant French attitude is "revolutionary hastiness," and the English is "utilitarian pragmatism." In politics, these play out as "German conservatism, French revolutionary radicalism, and English liberalism."
