The end-of-year celebrations are coming to an end… 2017 is beginning… with new mysteries to decipher! If you want to get a head start and discover, for example, why we give gifts to women, rush to listen to Pierre Naveau’s teachings at the ECF, available on Radio Lacan, “Unconscious and drive, the resonances of speech” resonances of speech . Why do we give a gift to a woman we love and desire?… You will discover that the mere fact that it is the gift of a jewel evokes the sexual.
Pierre Naveau based on the enlightened
reading of Jacques-Alain Miller’s course, answers this question in these terms: “Giving a gift to a woman targets her insofar phone number list as she lacks what one gives her. It is to a woman as a castrated person that this gift is therefore addressed.” But there are also many other reasons, no doubt, for offering gifts to a promote incentives for the acquisition of loyal woman… “It can be to compensate for impotence – as is the case with Dora’s father who arouses his daughter’s jealousy by offering jewelry to Mrs. K. Or it can be a way of paying tribute to her…”
In any case, whether it is jewelry or words
it is difficult to give… the retention drive is always at work and hides behind generosity. It is always easier to give nothing than to give what one does not have…. “Because I always give what I do not want to give, I give on the basis of what I do not want to give”, this is also what makes the value of what I give – words or gifts. “There is an “I do not want to give”
Pierre Naveau emphasizes that Lacan, throughout his teaching, never loses sight of the cord of the drive that is at stake… “What is betting email list the destiny of the drive?” It is with this solid cord that he approaches these questions: “What does a man know?” A man believes he knows what the Other wants – but he ignores that what excites a woman is the not everything, or the little, or the nothing. It is on this that the man stumbles, is intrigued, disconcerted. “And what makes a man valuable to a woman? If it is her organ, would it not be so that another can deprive her of it? This would be the reverse of jealousy, Pierre Naveau emphasizes.
