A Very Theory Xmas

…and Freud bless us, every one!

…until then, make sure your wine is not only mulled but also deconstructed…

…but like Frosty the Snowman or the repressed, we’ll be back again some day (at the end of November 2025)…

Not quite 5th January yet, but it’s time to wrap up another very theory Christmas. Deleuze and Guattari are desperate to take down the tree…

There are rumours around that #JacquesLacansHootenanny is not really live but was prerecorded in 1967. Such claims are ideology at its purest. #hootenanny

Next on Jacques Lacan’s Hootenanny - Freud joins Mick Hucknall on “Something Got Me Started (But I Can’t Identify What)”. #JacquesLacansHootenanny

Jacques Lacan’s guests on the Hootenanny include Derrida, Foucault, Zizek, Kristeva, Barthes, Irigaray, and Tom Jones.

Who’s watching Jacques Lacan’s Hootenanny tonight? Who’s traversing the fantasy through boogie-Woogie piano? #JacquesLacansHootenanny

Lacan wishes you a happy new year, from the first seminar of Lacan.

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me - five Goldblatt rings.

When you’ve lost the gift receipt.

We’re here until New Year - there’s still Jacques Lacan’s Hootenanny to look forward to.

“You scumbag, you maggot/You trace of the abject…”

This reminds me one of my lecturers went to a conference as a phD student and Derrida was there and he followed him round the breakfast buffet going "Hmm, so Derrida drinks orange juice. Hmm, so Derrida likes eggs. Weird."

Marx: it’s not the thought that counts, it’s the labour.

Discipline and Nourish.

It’s Christmaaaassss! Derrida says raise a Glas.

Derrida’s rushing around Sainsbury’s to get his last few bits. He always gets stuff from the Taste the Differance range.

Difference and Repetition. youtu.be/-k4yjCo8JWs?...

We would never rise to this level.

Still need to get those gifts? You can get this done! Remember, it’s Jacques Lacan, not Jacques Lacan’t.
