4. Lacan s Mirror Stage (4 of 4) : On looking good naked
Why is solitary confinement considered a form of torture In what ways can we say that our relationship to our mirror images as in attempts to try and look good naked are always mediated by an other Why is imaginary recognition always essentially (mis)recognition In building complexity to Lacan s ideas of imaginary identification, we attempt answers to all of the above questions, introducing also Lacan s ideas of meconnaissance (misrecognition), the paranoid quality of the ego s knowledge of the world, the idealego and the importance of symbolic mediation in our relationship to our own images. We also cautiously begin differentiating the Lacanian concepts of Imaginary, Symbolic and Real. Link to board:
