Death Drive 1<\/a>
\nthis is starting point but at the end we have perfect reconciliation.\u00a0 Hegel was well aware that this excess of negativity could never be culturalized.\u00a0 In contrast to Kant Hegel never believed in perpetual peace.\u00a0 Hegel thinks that this radical negativity, this excess will explode again.\u00a0 This excess is neither Nature nor Culture.\u00a0 Hegelian progress, once you are in culture, retroactively you de-naturalize nature.\u00a0 The price we pay to move into culture, what before was a natural instinct becomes an absolute eternal repetitive drive.\u00a0 That is a REPETITIVE drive.<\/p>\n

Aim<\/strong> the true satisfaction of the drive is the circular movement of the drive itself.
\nGoal<\/strong> is what you official want<\/p>\n

Maybe the true ideological revolution is not a chang in the explicit rules, but the revolution in this background, I’m saying the same thing but the virtual resonance, the virtual background has changed. The implicit, you can’t pin it down, but somehow everything is different.<\/p>\n

Billy Bathgate<\/a> This is a good discussion<\/p>\n

Doctorow’s novel and the movie.\u00a0 The novel must have been better after seeing the movie.\u00a0 We have a failed novel, we have a failed repetition (movie) but the repetition, generates retroactively a truly spectral presence of what the novel should have been.\u00a0 It is a virtual object of another kind, the film does not repeat the novel on which it is based, rather they both repeat the virtual X.<\/p>\n

Retroactive movement: a movement described it is something which was first conceptualized by Bergson,\u00a0 in spite of my turmoil, I experienced a feeling of admiration for the facility of the passage from abstract to concrete.\u00a0 THe war exploded, what happened, before at the level of abstract knowledge everybody knew about it, expected it, but nonetheless nobody believed it really could happen, a fetishist disavowal, I know very well but nonetheless I don’t believe it could really happen.\u00a0 FIrst it was probable but impossible, but then when it happend it suddenly become REAL and possible.\u00a0 When it really happened, it retroactively became totally possible and acceptable.<\/p>\n

The logic we have here is not standard linear logic of possibility<\/a>.\u00a0 i.e., we have a sitatuation A, with certain possibilities, and one possiblity is realized. NO.\u00a0 we have something that is considered impossible HAPPENS and then retroactively it becomes possible.\u00a0 THIS IS THE LACANIAN ACT.<\/a><\/p>\n

the ACT it retroactively creates its own conditions of possibility.<\/p>\n

Get’s back to Hegel here<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hegelian temporality, eternity it’s always done this way.\u00a0\u00a0 You may think Hegel is closure, in development thing becomes what it always already was. … Hegel may appear to be a totally closed structure.\u00a0 NO. We should read the Hegelian notion of totality in this Bergson way.<\/p>\n

Pure Past: T.S. Elliot, every new work of art retroactively changes the past.\u00a0 After a certain new work of art, classical works of art are perceived in a different way. The priority of synchrony over diachrony.\u00a0 Yes this is a good 10 minutes<\/a><\/p>\n

Dostoevsky didn’t only influence Kafka, only through Kafka are we able to note this dimension in Dostoevsky that has become discernible to us.<\/p>\n

This retroactive structure in the sense, in every historical point we live in a totality which is necessary, but this totality is retroactively<\/p>\n

… Hegel deduces the necessity of contingency. Not only the necessity of contingency but the contingency of necessity<\/strong>.\u00a0 Things become necessary in a way that is ultimately contingent.<\/p>\n

Hegel’s narrative is about the very rise of necessity.\u00a0 This is why for Hegel, he insists on Monarchy, Constitutional Monarchy.\u00a0 Hegel was very aware that exactly what people attribute to him, total rational State, where everything is rationally regulated is nonsense, Hegel was aware that in order to have a rational totality you have to have a contingent element on top.\u00a0 The function of the King is to sign his name, the less he knows all the better.<\/p>\n

Hegel’s point is that you have state as rational totality, at the top you need an element of radical contingency<\/p>\n

Reality is ontologically incomplete<\/a><\/p>\n

Reality is not fully constituted.\u00a0 Great works of art are like shots on a film, but the film wasn’t developed.\u00a0 If you come later it isn’t an obstacle, there are things you can only understand with a delay.\u00a0 How I perceive this ontological openness, how to interpret quantum physics.\u00a0 \u017d quotes the shitty book by Nicholas Fearn.\u00a0 BUt he makes the point of the ontological incompleteness of reality.\u00a0 He uses the video game analogy.<\/p>\n

The difficult reality is incomplete but doesn’t collapse into itself, if you look closely enough it is blurred, there is no zero level, the closer you get is blurred.<\/p>\n

The basic operation of Hegel, you have a certain epistemological limitation, you solve the problem, by showing how the problem is its own solution.<\/p>\n

Adorno, you have 2 irreducible levels: Its wrong to ask oneself, can we get a unified theory, does this mean that we can’t know society. The result of this individual deadlock between\u00a0 individual psychic intersubjective experience and autonomous social structures, this gap.\u00a0 What we misperceive as the limitation of our knowledge of reality, is a basic feature of social reality itself.<\/p>\n
