The surplus gaze of legibility : guilt, ethics, and out-of-field in Deleuze, Lacan, and Zizek

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

We often hear today that the central difference between Lacanian psychoanalysis- which is all-too easily equated with Slavoj Zizek's work and Gilles Deleuze's theory lies in their respective conceptions of lack and guilt. Patricia Pisters illustrates this difference by comparing Zizek's and Deleuze's readings of Hitchcock's films: According to Zizek, the Lacanian/Hitchcockian subject is a guilty subject, always already guilty of wanting enjoyment, jouissance, which has its impossible origin in the Real. Here we see what Zizek meant by [Hitchcock's] jansenism based on guilt and God.
