act proper (radical agency)<\/p>\n

performative activity within a hegemonic structure<\/p>\n

What qualifies a free act, according to \u017di\u017eek, is an intervention whereby “I do not merely choose between two or more options WITHIN a pre-given set of coordinates, but I choose to change this set of coordinates itself’ (\u017di\u017eek, On Belief<\/em> 2001c, 121).<\/span><\/p>\n

For Lacan, there is no ethical act proper without taking the risk of … a momentary ‘suspension of the big Other’, of the socio-symbolic network that guarantees the subject’s identity: an authentic act occurs only when the subject risks a gesture that is no longer ‘covered up’ by the big Other (\u017di\u017eek, 1993, Tarrying with the Negative<\/em> 262-4).<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here is a crucial quote that pretty much sums up their (Butler and \u017di\u017eek) respective differences, (okay its pretty condensed)<\/p>\n

… only the Real allows us to truly resignify the Symbolic. (110)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u017di\u017eek maintains that for all Butler’s radicality, she remains caught up in a resistance at the level of the symbolic<\/em>, that is, at the level of signification. Judy Butler’s work doesn’t touch the Real.<\/p>\n

A quote by \u017di\u017eek from the book:<\/p>\n

we cannot go directly from capitalist to revolutionary subjectivity: the abstraction, the foreclosure of others, the blindness to the other’s suffering and pain, has first to be broken in a gesture of taking the risk and reaching directly out to the suffering other \u2014 a gesture which, since it shatters the very kernel of our identity, cannot fail to appear extremely violent. (\u017di\u017eek, Revolotion at the Gates<\/em> 2002a, 252)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
