Jacques-Alain Miller: On Love

We Love the One Who Responds to Our Question: “Who Am I?”

Hanna Waar – Does psychoanalysis teach us something about love?

Jacques-Alain Miller – A great deal, because it’s an experience whose mainspring is love. It’s a question of that automatic and more often than not unconscious love that the analysand brings to the analyst, and which is called transference. It’s a contrived love, but made of the same stuff as true love. It sheds light on its mechanism: love is addressed to the one you think knows your true truth. But love allows you to think this truth will be likeable, agreeable, when in fact it’s rather hard to bear.

H. W. – So, what is it to really love?

J.-A. M. – To really love someone is to believe that by loving them you’ll get to a truth about yourself. We love the one that harbours the response, or a response, to our question: ‘Who am I?’

H. W. – Why do some people know how to love and not others?

J.-A. M. – Some people know how to provoke love in the other person, serial lovers as it were, men and women alike. They know what buttons to push to get loved. But they don’t necessarily love, rather they play cat and mouse with their prey. To love, you have to admit your lack, and recognise that you need the other, that you miss him or her. Those that think they’re complete on their own, or want to be, don’t know how to love. And sometimes, they ascertain this painfully. They manipulate, pull strings, but of love they know neither the risk nor the delights.

H. W. – ‘Complete on their own’: only a man could think that…

J.-A. M. – Well spotted! Lacan used to say, ‘To love is to give what you haven’t got.’ Which means: to love is to recognize your lack and give it to the other, place it in the other. It’s not giving what you possess, goods and presents, it’s giving something else that you don’t possess, which goes beyond you. To do that you have to assume your lack, your ‘castration’ as Freud used to say. And that is essentially feminine. One only really loves from a feminine position. Loving feminises. That’s why love is always a bit comical in a man. But if he lets himself get intimidated by ridicule, then in actual fact he’s not very sure of his virility.

H. W. – Is loving more difficult for men then?

J.-A. M. – Oh yes! Even a man in love has flashes of pride, bursts of aggressiveness against the object of his love, because this love puts him in a position of incompleteness, of dependence. That’s why he can desire women he doesn’t love, so as to get back to the virile position he suspends when he loves. Freud called this principle the ‘debasement of love life’ in men: the split between love and sexual desire.

H. W. – And in women?

J.-A. M. – It’s less common. In most cases, there’s a doubling-up of the male partner. On one hand, he’s the man that gives them jouissance and whom they desire, but he’s also the man of love, who’s feminised, necessarily castrated. Only it’s not anatomy that’s in the driving seat: there are some women who adopt a male position. There are more and more of them. One man for love, at home; and other men for jouissance, met on the net, in the street, or on a train.

H. W. – Why ‘more and more’?

J.-A. M. – Socio-cultural stereotypes of womanliness and virility are in the process of radical transformation. Men are being invited to open up to their emotions, to love and feminise themselves; women on the contrary are undergoing a certain ‘push to masculinisation’: in the name of legal equality they’re being driven to keep saying ‘me too.’ At the same time, homosexuals are claiming the same rights and symbols as heteros, like marriage and filiation. Hence a major instability in the roles, a widespread fluidity in the theatre of love, that contrasts with the fixity of yesteryear. Love is becoming ‘liquid’, as noted by the sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. Everyone is being led to invent their own ‘lifestyle’, to assume their mode of jouissance and mode of loving. Traditional scenarios are slowly becoming obsolete. Social pressure to conform hasn’t disappeared, but it’s on the wane.

H. W. – ‘Love is always reciprocal’ said Lacan. Is this still true in the current context? What does that mean?

J.-A. M. – This sentence gets repeated over and over without being understood, or it gets understood the wrong way round. It doesn’t mean that it’s enough to love someone for him to love you back. That would be absurd. It means: ‘If I love you, it’s because you’re loveable. I’m the one that loves, but you’re also mixed up in this, because there’s something in you that makes me love you. It’s reciprocal because there’s a to and fro: the love I have for you is the return effect of the cause of love that you are for me. So, you’re implicated. My love for you isn’t just my affair, it’s yours too. My love says something about you that maybe you yourself don’t know.’ This doesn’t guarantee in the least that the love of one will be responded to by the love of the other: when that happens it’s always of the order of a miracle, it’s not calculable in advance.

H. W. – We don’t find him or her by chance. Why that guy? Why that girl?

J.-A. M. – There’s what Freud called Liebesbedingung, the condition for love, the cause of desire. It’s a particular trait – or a set of traits – that have a decisive function in a person for the choice of the loved one. This totally escapes the neurosciences, because it’s unique to each person, it’s down to their singular, intimate history. Traits which are sometimes minute are at play. For instance, Freud singled out in one of his patients a cause of desire that was a shine on a woman’s nose!

H. W. – It’s hard to believe in a love founded on these trifles!

J.-A. M. – The reality of the unconscious outstrips fiction. You can’t imagine how much in human life is founded, especially where love is concerned, on little things, on pinheads, on ‘divine details’. It’s true that’s it’s above all in men that you find causes of desire like that, which are like fetishes whose presence is indispensable to spark off the love process. Tiny particularities, reminiscent of the father, the mother, a brother, a sister, someone from childhood, also play their role in women’s choice of love object. But the feminine form of love is more readily erotomaniac than fetishist: they want to be loved, and the interest, the love that’s shown them, or that they suppose in the other person, is often sine qua non for triggering their love, or at least their consent. This phenomenon lies at the base of the practice of men chatting women up.

H. W. – Do you not attribute any role to fantasies?

J.-A. M. – In women, fantasies, whether conscious or unconscious, are decisive for the position of jouissance more than for the choice of love object. And it’s the opposite for men. For example, it may happen that a woman can only achieve jouissance – orgasm, let’s say – on condition that she imagines herself, during intercourse itself, being beaten, raped, or imagines that she’s another woman, or even that she’s elsewhere, absent.

H. W. – And the male fantasy?

J.-A. M. – It’s very much in evidence in love at first sight. The classic example, commented on by Lacan, is in Goethe’s novel, the sudden passion of young Werther for Charlotte, at the moment he sees her for the first time, feeding the rabble of kids around her. Here it’s the woman’s maternal quality that sparks off love. Another example, taken from my practice, is the following: a boss in his fifties is seeing applicants for a secretarial post; a young woman of twenty comes in; straight away he declares his love. He wonders what got hold of him and goes into analysis. There, he uncovers the trigger: in her he met traits that reminded him of what he had been at the age of twenty, when he went for his first job interview. In a way, he’d fallen in love with himself. In these two examples we see the two sides of love distinguished by Freud: either you love the person who protects, in this case the mother, or you love a narcissistic image of yourself.

H. W. – It sounds like we’re puppets!

J.-A. M. – No, between any man and any woman, nothing is written in advance, there’s no compass, no pre-established relationship. Their encounter isn’t programmed like it is between the spermatozoon and the ovum; it’s got nothing to do with our genes either. Men and women speak, they live in a world of discourse, that’s what’s decisive. The modalities of love are extremely sensitive to the surrounding culture. Each civilisation stands out for the way it structures the relation between the sexes. Now, it so happens that in the West, in our societies which are liberal, market and juridical, the ‘multiple’ is well on the way to dethroning the ‘one’. The ideal model of ‘great lifelong love’ is slowly losing ground faced with speed dating, speed loving, and a whole flotilla of alternative, successive, even simultaneous amorous scenarios.

H. W. – And love in the long term? In eternity?

J.-A. M. – Balzac said, ‘Any passion that isn’t eternal is hideous.’ But can the bond hold out for life within the register of passion? The more a man devotes himself to just one woman, the more she tends to take on a maternal signification for him: more sublime and untouchable than loved. Married homosexuals develop this cult of the woman best: Aragon sings his love for Elsa; as soon as she dies, it’s hello boys! And when a woman clings on to one man, she castrates him. So, the path is narrow. The best destiny of conjugal love is friendship, that’s essentially what Aristotle said.

H. W. – The problem is that men say they don’t understand what women want; and women, what men expect of them…

J.-A. M. – Yes. What objects to the Aristotelian solution is the fact that dialogue from one sex to the other is impossible, as Lacan said with a sigh. People in love are in fact condemned to go on learning the other’s language indefinitely, groping around, seeking out the keys – keys that are always revocable. Love is a labyrinth of misunderstandings whose way out doesn’t exist.

Bartleby, the Scrivener

About Bartleby the Scrivener

Melville finished his masterpiece, Moby-Dick, when he was all of thirty-two years old. Still a young writer, he had crafted one of the most incredibly dense and imaginative works in all of literature, a book now praised by many as the greatest novel in English. But Moby-Dick failed in its own time, slammed by critics and spurned by readers; Melville's truths were too hard to hear. It would be decades after Melville's death before the power of his work was recognized.

Not surprisingly, Melville's writing after Moby-Dick is often preoccupied with the question of communication. In the novella Billy Budd, Melville's second most famous work, a young man's speech impediment makes it impossible for him to defend his innocence. Benito Cereno also ends with a classic moment of failed communication, as the tormented slave ship captain is utterly unable to convey to his rescuer the vital truth that has destroyed him. "Bartleby the Scrivener" is also the story of failed communication, and of the impossibility of connection between human beings.

"Bartleby the Scrivener" is now one of the most famous short stories of the nineteenth century. In 1852, Melville was asked by Putnam's magazine to contribute a work of short fiction. He began by writing a story about a young wife named Agatha who waits seventeen years for news from her husband, who left to seek work. As Melville conceived the story, the mailbox was an essential symbol: as time passes, the unused mailbox rots and falls apart. Word never comes.

This story, though appealing for its symbolism, proved unworkable as fiction. Melville abandoned it, although the forlorn mailbox and the absent mail reworked themselves into the Dead Letter Office at "Bartleby"'s haunting ending. "Bartleby the Scrivener" was published in 1853, to not much fanfare. As with all of Melville's good work, complexity alienated his readers.

In many ways, "Bartleby" is the one of the first stories of corporate discontent. Melville was a child of New York City, and the story unfolds on Wall Street. The scriveners are part of the machinery of modern industry and commerce; they are educated men who do tedious work. "Part of the machinery" seems an apt description of their work: later the services they performed were done by machines. In this world, where a man does his work, earns his pay, and goes on and on until he dies, Bartleby is a freak and an outcast. He is a profoundly depressed and lonely man, who seems completely unable to find work that will satisfy him. Life itself is weary to him. He cannot find a place in the world, and so he dies.

His employer, an elderly lawyer who goes unnamed, tries but fails to connect with Bartleby. Somehow, he is able to empathize with the strange scrivener, but help him he cannot (or will not). At the end of the tale, one of the questions of the story concerns their relationship: did the narrator fail Bartleby? If he did, was the failure avoidable? How responsible is one man for the salvation of another? Even more disturbing, one wonders if Bartleby is not the only one who is doomed. The world that plunged him into gloom is seen in a new light, and the narrator and his employees, who have adapted to this world, seem diminished by their numbness to it.

Major Themes

The world of work and business
"Bartleby the Scrivener" is one of the first great stories of corporate discontent. The description of the office is incredibly bleak, and the landscape of Wall Street is completely unnatural. The work environment is sterile and cheerless. Yet most adapt to it, with varying degrees of success. Though the narrator is a successful man, he is a victim, in some ways, of progress. He has lost the post he occupied during the central events of the story, as the position was deemed redundant and eliminated. We learn later that Bartleby may have lost a job due to similar bureaucratic change. The modern economy includes constant and unfeeling change, which comes at a cost.

Melville often describes the world through concise and telling descriptions of the environment. The character of the world of work and business is most often evoked through physical description of the landscape. In the final prison scene Melville's description of environment extends the scope of the story from the business world to the general human condition. Bartleby cannot pretend to have enthusiasm for this bleak world, and so he disengages from it, in stages, until he dies.

Doubling
Doubles make for an important thematic device. Through doubles, Melville suggests our connection to other human beings. Nippers and Turkey are like two faces of a coin, as are, finally, Bartleby and the narrator. With Bartleby, Melville is constantly evoking him as a kind of phantom double. The descriptions of him frequently cast him as either a ghost or a corpse. At the end of the story, Bartleby's significance expands, and he becomes not only a double for the narrator but also a kind of double for all of humanity.

Responsibility and Compassion
How responsible is the narrator for Bartleby's salvation? Our narrator fails the scrivener, who clearly needs help, but Melville in no way demonizes his narrator. In fact, the narrator seems to go to greater lengths than most people would in his efforts to help Bartleby. But it seems far short of what is necessary, and indisputably the narrator stops short of his limits. Should there be limits to our will to help a man, if his life is at stake? Is writing off a suffering man by saying he's responsible for himself only a way to excuse our own lack of compassion?

Isolation and the failure to connect
Bartleby is one of the most isolated characters in all of literature. Bartleby's environment cuts him off from nature and often, from other men. By day, Bartleby's window stares at a wall. Wall Street is a bleak and unnatural landscape, and Bartleby also stays there at night, when the bustling human population vanishes and the streets become desolately empty. The narrator makes attempts to learn about Bartleby and help him, but all attempts meet with failure, and the narrator gives up.

Mortality
Mortality plays a role in "Bartleby," but not in the usual sense. Death pervades the story, not as the event in time that finishes a life, but as a kind of poison permeating every aspect of the world we live in. The act of living is the real death. Living is a tiring and arduous process, full of numbing compromises and submission to meaningless tasks. Our mortality is unavoidable, and our best intentions are often futile. The final image of the story is the Dead Letter Office, where the last undelivered communications to the dead are burned without ever having been read.

1609... 1610

Önemli bi' gün, düşün!

Ah en son bu lafı söylediğimde kötü şeyler yapmıştım.

Maraton koşusu başlıyor...

- 100?
- O kadar zor değil!
- 10?
- Hiç de zor değil!
- O halde ne diyeyim, başarılar.
- Teşekkürler

- Do you really think that?
- Yes I really do. It's high time I did that.

Her yerde karşıma çıkan sevgili '16'.
Senden güç alacağım.

Güç ver bana.
Seni ödüllendireceğim.
Yerin hazır.
Sabırla seni bekliyor orası.
Oraya sahip ol.
Sana inanıyorum.

Ay ayyy

konuş tabii bişi demiyorum
insan içinden geleni yapmalı
sahte olur öbür türlü

argo kelimeleri bi kızdan mı duymak garip geliyor bana bilmiyorum

beni okula bağlayan tek işte içimdeki disiplin yani
ders dinlemek
bu yani
ders dinlesem ders çalışmasam da yeter bana

Bana Dokunmayan Bin Yaşasıncılık

I ain't need no one who's bitching around and talking about what I don' wanna hear! (unless otherwise indicated)

Tespit Patlaması - 3

- Mutluluk'un tanımını çok abartırız aslında. Abartılmaması gereken her zaman özümüzde olan bir şeydir bence. Salak geleneksel bir yapıda olduğu için kültürümüz, mutlu olursak çok mutsuzluğun bizi bulacağı söylenir. (Başka mal cümlelerle) Başına çok güldün diye bir şey falan gelmez. Bir şey olur öyle yorumlarsın sana kalmış. Mutluluk her zaman gülmektir her şeye rağmen.

- Bir ifade duydum geçen. ''Boyu değil, nereye girdiği''

- Caprisun + Vodka içtim geçen... Çocukluğumla (yaş olarak) olgunluğumun birleşme noktası. Sonunda facia oldu. Çocukluğumu hiçbir şeye katmamalıyım sanırım. Sızdım 3 saat...

- Allahım her evde neden ansiklopedi süs aracı olarak kullanılır ki Türkiye'de? Büyük klişe. At gitsin ya, millet sanki senin tuttuğun ansiklopedilerle anlayacak senin bilgelik seviyeni.

- Berber ile bir müşteri arasındaki ilişki süperdir. Ben mesela başka şehirde olsam da traş için berberimi beklerim. Saçım uzasa da başka yerde kestirmem. o aradaki muhabbet, samimiyet -her ne kadar çok samimi olmasa da- süperdir. Kuaförler ile kadınlar arasında da vardır belki bu. Belki de değişikliği sevmediğimizden, alışkanlıklarımızı terkedemediğimizden başka yeni bir berbere gitmiyoruz kim bilir.

- Kandilleri severim simitlerinden ötürü.

- Bronzlaşmak tatile gittim demenin başka bir yolu sanki.

- Hacıoğlu'nda satılan peynirli lahmacun (which they called ''peymacun''^) Ankara'da yediğim ilk şey. O yüzden her zaman bana ilk gittiğimdeki anları, günleri, yaşantımı, düşüncelerimi gösterecek. İnsan ne kadar değiştiğini görmek için böyle belirteç'leri kullanmalı bence. Ben yazıyorum. Günümü gün ediyorum. İleride gülerek hatırlayacağım, ama yine anımı gülerek geçirirken.

- CeHaPe değil ulan, Ce He Pe. Ce Ha Pe diyenler ilkokul eğitimi almamış sanırım. Okuma yazma bilmiyorlar. A B Ce! Mehmet Ali Birand'a çok kızıyorum. Galatasaray Lisesi'nde okumuş, Fransızca-İngilizce biliyor kime ne? Her ne kadar insanlar kullanacakları dillerde özgür olsalar da hoş değil ya. CeHePe gibi muhalefet olasım var.

- Rakı da balıksız gitmiyor ki ya, valla peynir kavun falan yalan bence, ana yemek balık, sonra meze olarak tabii ki peynir ve kavun. Gerçi hep öyle olur da neyse. Balıksız gitmiyor işte. Balık da salatasız ve kolasız gitmiyor ya neyse.

About Six Pack Abs

For years the debate has raged hardcore about the effectiveness of traditional cardio versus high intensity cardio. On one side, you have educated strength coaches and trainers as well as researchers pointing to various reason why high intensity intervals are better and on the other side you have trainers and bodybuilders advocating the advantages of traditional steady state cardio. For the most part, the steady state work has won out since the trainers and bodybuilders look the way that most people want to look.

How To Burn Fat

When you look at how the body uses calories for energy during exercise, it’s very clear that it depends on the intensity of your training. The lower the intensity the more stored body is going to be used for energy and the higher the intensity the greater the need for stored carbs to be used. Unfortunately most people only look at right now. Everyone looks at how much fat they can burn now. That’s not the entire picture though. Other important factors include

* The recovery needs of training
* Daily recovery needs
* Accumulated recovery periods (4,6,12,16 weeks etc)

See what I’m saying? It’s never, no matter what you do, in the gym that matters the most.

Various recent research studies have shown that more fat is burned post workout when higher intensity exercise is used. Fat burning is lower during training but higher post workout. When you look at the 24 hour period, we also see that fat burning is elevated higher when high intensity work is compared to traditional interval training.

Can You Build Muscle With Cardio?

Recent says “yes”. Mougios look at exercise intensity and body composition changes and found that the high intensity exercise group either gained or maintained their lean body mass while the low intensity group lose lean muscle. This should stand out to any physique competitor reading this. You can actually build muscle with high intensity training.

Another factor to look at is that high intensity aerobic work will preferentially recruit fast twitch muscle fibers, particularly in the hamstrings and calves (two areas which most people lack).

Look at how high intensity intervals actually burn body fat. A study done by Tremblay looked at 20 weeks of high intensity training against endurance training. After it was all said and done, the high intensity grouped had as high as 9 times the body fat loss of the endurance group. The researchers stated that the increase in glycolytic enzymes was the main reason for this result. Glycolytic enzymes are essentially the process that sugar or carbs are broken apart and used for energy.



Bodybuilders Are Ripped

The other side of the coin is when you look at bodybuilders. They traditionally perform low intensity cardio and have extremely low levels of body fat. Could there be something to it? When you look at bodybuilding and stepping on stage or doing a photo shoot, the muscle to fat ratio must be optimized. After all, anyone can get ripped but not everyone can be muscular, tight and ripped.

So bodybuilders use steady state low intensity cardio since they are on low carb diets and only want to burn fat. The reason is that if they performed intervals they’d burn muscle since they don’t have any carbs available in their body. At first thought, this makes sense but how much protein are these athletes taking in? If they aren’t training with weights for an hour or so and taking enough protein, they won’t lose muscle regardless of what type of aerobic work is performed.

Makes sense and to be honest, steady state cardio is fine to do in a planned training cycle.

The issue is that the entire industry gets caught up in a “low vs high” debate when you can actually get benefits from state state cardio, after you’ve done your high intensity work.

You have to look at fat loss training as a step by step process. First you start the diet then you perform intense weight training then you perform high intensity intervals then you tweak your diet and training then you add steady state work in if you have the time or need.

The problem with a steady state only approach is that you have to continue to do more and more volume to see results. On a fat loss diet, the nutrients aren’t there to support the ever-increasing activity.

So to sum it up, the traditional fat burning zone doesn’t exist. You can see advantages and results from the typical steady state cardio routine but faster AND better results will come from high intensity interval training.

Interval Training

While most people know that they need to do cardio for six pack abs , they aren’t aware of the superior method for acclerating fat loss. The Tabata method involves alternating periods of 20 second of sprinting with 10 seconds of low to moderate intensity cardio, either walking or jogging. Now that is traditional interval training. What was found with tabata was that doing it for four minutes lead to more fat loss then traditional aerobic training. The problem is that the tabata method is very intense so it can not be done every day even though the tabata workouts are shorter and provide a better six pack ab workout.

Start out with the following workout

Weeks 1-3: 10 seconds of work and 20 seconds of rest for 4 minutes

Weeks 4-6: 15 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest for 5 minutes

Weeks 7-10: 20 seconds of work and 10 seconds of rest for 6 minutes




Use A Form Of Periodization

With the typical six pack ab workout will only consist of more exercises more sets and more reps, the best way to get results is to use some form of periodization. That’s such a fancy way of saying “program design”. Most people get stuck in the “more” mode because that’s the only training method that they know for pushing themselves through training plateaus. Recently published research from Arizona State University (I had the great pleasure of studying under one of the researchers) has dsicovered a new, more effective way to designing your six pack ab workout for maximum gains.

Undulating periodization varies your set and reps schemes so that your body never adapts to the training. You don’t repeat the workout for a few days so your body won’t adapt. Plus you add variety of movements to your six pack abs workout so your body get challenged each training session. Here’s what a undulating workout may look like for your arm training

Days 1 and 3: Barbell curls-3 sets of 12 reps 60 seconds rest

Days 2 and 4: Barbell curls-4 sets of 5 reps 45 seconds rest

Just that slight variation will completely change your physique. See this way we don’t have to bring up the conversation of which sets or which reps to use in the workout. You don’t need to be concerned with the myth that high rep workouts burn stomach fat faster or that low rep sessions build muscle. You’ll be using variations of set and rep schemes each time you workout. It’s literally endless, here’s some set and rep combination

4 sets of 6 reps

3 sets of 15 reps

2 sets of 20 reps

5 sets of 5 reps

7 sets of 3 reps

4 sets of 12 reps

The list is endless.


What’s the diet like?

Most people make the mistake of thinking that their workout will get them their six pack of their dreams and put very little thought and focus onto their six pack diet. You’ll never get the results you want without having the foundation of a good diet that includes plenty of protein, timed carbohydrates and healthy fat in your diet. Lastly, eating too much fat, not eating enough protein and excessivly consuming carbohydrates will wreck any and all progress that you get from your six pack ab workout that day in the gym.
