Welcome to the Riviera of the Real — Alenka Zupančič

"The Lacanian subject is a subject struggling in its own way with the fact that the apparatus determining it is itself struggling with a missing screw (a missing “binary signifier”). This is not an “autonomous” subject in any traditional sense, and yet it is also not entirely determined by the structure or reducible to it, because it emerges at the point where this determination—and its causality—breaks down. The subject is not the cause of this failure but, rather, its indicator, and the point from which this failure becomes noticeable, becomes something we can relate to, and eventually work with."
