Debate and Lacan’s University Discourse

Working on two talks I’m giving at the University of Wisconsin in Madison next week (yikes!). One is an expansion of my piece on Zelenskyy that I posted here. That piece got huge uptake on here and is mostly the reason why I was invited. The second talk is one that I’m much more excited about, and it has to do with something I’ve been obsessed with for years – Lacan’s theory of the four discourses.

This one, modeled above in Lacan’s shorthand, is the discourse of the university. The elements of the discourses are the same per iteration, but the locations change.
