Jacques Lacan and an encounter with fashion
No full textPhDThis thesis is a psychoanalytic engagement with fashion. It follows from established
work in literature, film and visual art, and deploys psychoanalysis, particularly the
work of Jacques Lacan, as a critical theory in order to interpret a particular cultural
form. It departs from other psychoanalytic cultural criticism in that it takes fashion as
the object of study.
Although fashion is not art there are moments where it can be discussed in the same
terms as art, and it is with these moments that this thesis is concerned. The instances
of fashion under discussion are selected from the unusual, innovative, avant garde
fashions that are seen in galleries and museums, in the bi-annual, international
Fashion Week shows, and in photography editorials in fashion magazines. Kristeva’s
notion of the avant garde as a mechanism by which intractable gender conventions
can be critiqued is central to my definition of the feminine in fashion as pertaining to
feminine subjects, usually but not exclusively women, as pertaining to and contingent
upon the body, in particular the female body, and, in a specifically Lacanian idiom, as
following an impossible and contradictory logic. These three definitions of femininity
allow for a reading of fashion that will anchor fashion to the category of the feminine,
while also rejecting any notion of that category as in any way either biologically or
anatomically determined, or reliant on social structures for its resonances and its
meaning.
If psychoanalysis is concerned with what cannot be said, then so is fashion, but
despite the best efforts of both, the unsayable remains precisely that. Fashion is
predicated on leaving contradictions intact, and a psychoanalytic reading of fashion
demonstrates what these contradictions are and how they operate not just as instances
of avant garde creative forms but also, and more importantly, as instances of the
unspeakable impossibility of human subjectivity, writ large on the human body itself

Nixon's “full-speech”: imaginary and symbolic registers of communication
No full textCommunicative interchanges play a foundational role in establishing the social. This being said, communicative behaviour can also lead to stalemates and conflict in which demands of recognition outweigh the prospect of hearing or saying anything beyond what is thought to be known. This paper foregrounds a dimension of communication often neglected by approaches prioritizing mass communications and new media technologies, namely the psychical and inter-subjective aspects of communicative exchange. More directly, this paper introduces and develops a Lacanian psychoanalytic theory of two interlinked registers of communicative behaviour. The first of these is the imaginary: the domain of one-to-one inter-subjectivity and behaviour that serves the ego and functions to consolidate the images subjects use to substantiate themselves. The second - far more disturbing and unpredictable - is the symbolic. It links the subject to a trans-subjective order of truth, it provides them with a set of socio-symbolic co-ordinates, and it ties them into a variety of roles and social contracts. In an elaboration of these two registers, illustrated by brief reference to Nixon’s admission of guilt in his interviews with David Frost, I pay particular attention to both the potentially transformative symbolic aspect of communicative behaviours and the ever-present prospect that such relations will ossify into imaginary impasses of mis-knowing (méconnaissance) and aggressive rivalry
