The Paris show as anxiolitic? Portrait Portrait

Lacan makes an interesting suggestion of what anguish. "Anxiety occurs when lack is lacking.

anxiety would not be that the presence of a "missing" in the psyche but the presence of the object "missing" in the immediate reality of the subject. Trying to understand Lacanian position, I found the text " Beyond anguish" of Pierre Arel which questions the social definitions and current clinical anxiety, while addressing the proposal of Lacan.

Interesting : he makes a link between anxiety and performance anxiolitic.

Excerpt from the text " Beyond anguish" of Pierre Arel :

" It must be said that attempts to fill many are not so much by what we call objects consumption than the relationship we have established with the various instinctual objects that psychoanalysts have identified failures in the delivery and manifestations of anxiety that accompany them.

A more illustrative example of this type of report to be is to find reality in the show, whether television, theater or events in which we see that many of the limits of repression, moral rules that govern our social life are taken, whether by word or presentification scopic objects of various dirty, disgusting, frightening, exciting, or invitation, the temptation to break a pact, of betraying a promise, or in many other ways that inevitably arouse the appetite and the enjoyment of many, and invariably generate anxiety. So that whoever gets in front of his TV reality show with his beer or joint, is a tight circuit excited by being calmed by anxiety and the anxiolytic .

Without taking into account the drive circuit, any intervention at this level may participate in its vicious circle, or even worse. "

The show is seen by the way Debord:

" The alienation of the viewer the benefit of the contemplated object (which is the result of his own unconscious activity) is expressed as follows: the more he contemplates , unless he lives the more he accepts recognizing himself in the dominant images of need, the less he understands his own existence and his own desire. exteriority of the spectacle from acting man appears in his own gestures are no longer his, but at another that he represents. That is why the spectator feels at home nowhere, because the spectacle is everywhere "
