So I've lost my lighter and this cool lipstick I got last week. Losing things makes me mad and arouses my OCD ire like none other. Not only have you lost the utility, but you've made a mistake; you haven't stuck to your routine (or even made one...)
Jonathan saw the new Harry Potter tonight--through luck, he and Diana got two tickets even though the movie was sold out when they got to Southpoint. I thought it must have involved scalpers, but apparently not. He describes it as a "Hot Ass movie" (HAm).
NYU sent me a card about summer institutes and their bulletins and I was actually excited until I realized that it was the School of Continuing and Professional Studies that sent me the stuff.
I hope I get to do a lot of personal reading this weekend, like always...
In its historical emergence, psychoanalysis cannot be dissociated from the generalization of the deployment of sexuality and the secondary mechanisms of differentiation that resulted from it. The problem of incest is still significant in this regard. On one hand, as we have seen, its prohibition was posited as an absolutely universal principle which made it possible to explain both the system of alliance and the regime of sexuality; this taboo, in one form or another, was valid therefore for every society and every individual. But in practice psychoanalysis gave itself the task of alleviating the effects of repression (for those who were in a position to resort to psychoanalysis) that this prohibition was capable of causing; it allowed individuals to express their incestuous desire in discourse. But during the same period, there was a systematic campaign being organized against the kinds of incestuous practices that existed in rural areas or in certain urban quarters inaccessible to psychiatry: an intensive administrative and judicial grid was laid out then to put an end to these practices. An entire politics for the protection of children or the placing of "endangered" minors under guardianship had as its partial objective their withdrawal from families that were suspected--through lack of space, dubious proximity, a history of debauchery, antisocial "primitiveness," or degenerescence--of practicing incest.
--Who else but Foucault, The History of Sexuality, volume 1 (129)
That should have been the title of the book, I think: lack of space, dubious proximity, a history of debauchery, antisocial "primitiveness," or degenerescence, subtitle: INCEST, FRENCH FRENCH INCEST.
