At this present moment I’m looking at the Briko Racing black journal. My first entry is dated June 17, 1995 and its on Gayle Rubin’s “The Traffic in Women.” And so almost to the day, 18 years later in June 2013 I would be defending a thesis that deals with this exact article. I’m absolutely amazed that the things I was thinking about and taking notes on close to 18 and a half years ago is what I’m still on today. Laclau/Lacan and split subjectivity, a recurring theme that I have never left.
I have even detailed the June 21 1996 trip to Hungary and December 15 1996 departure for Japan, I celebrated the arrival of 1997 in Totaro’s hometown.
I have the Lacanian Graphs of Desire, taking them from Žižek’s 1989 book The Sublime Object of Ideology.
