When a person unconsciously directs displacement
aggression toward a person who is not the
original cause of hurt, frustration, or anger,
what defense mechanism is being enacted?
Which Lacanian idea represents the infant the imaginary order
child's illusory impression of unity with the
mother?
Which Lacanian idea refers to the the name- (no) - of the father
restrictive dimension of the Symbolic
Order?
For Lacan, the child's transition from its True
identification with the Imaginary Order to
the Symbolic Order causes an experience
of 'lack' or 'loss' (true or false)
Repression is a psychological phenomenon True
whereby a person unconsciously evades
painful memories, feelings, or experiences.
(true or false)
For Freud and Lacan, guilt can be a result true
of the simultaneous experience of love and
aggression toward a parent or authority
figure. (true and false)
The id is the storehouse of those painful False
experiences and unresolved conflicts we
do not want to know about because we
feel we will be overwhelmed by them. (true
or false)
The Symbolic Order is a linguistic order (or system) of signification and meaning. In
other words, social, sexual, political, and ethical norms are, according to Lacan,
encoded in language. That being said, since language is a vehicle for meaning, it
makes sense to think that when we are taught to identify with it, we are
simultaneously taught to perform or embody the various norms associated with
certain words or arrangements of words: for example, when a parent says to a young
symbolic order
girl, "Little girls play with Barbie, not GI Joe," there are a whole host of implied
meanings within this simple declarative statement that function to enforce society's
rules or regulations with respect to gender. In this way, when we learn to identify
with the Symbolic Order, we also become subjects: i.e., we literally become subject
to a system of signification and meaning that regulates our desires and identities in a
rather definitive fashion.

The superego refers to the socio-psychological process whereby a developing
human being internalizes the voice of an external authority figure, usually in the first
instance a parent. The superego, in other words, acts as a conscience or "moral
compass" that regulates the id, which refers to our amoral, "primitive," or basic drives
Superego and its relation to the ID and instincts (which Freud otherwise refers to as the pleasure principle). I put scare
quotes around the phrase "moral compass," namely because society's definition of
right versus wrong may not necessarily reflect a universal set of moral standards that
definitively reflect what is best for human beings; rather moral norms are the product
of social consensus, which is in its turn shaped by the politics of power
When the developing child makes the transition from the Imaginary Order to the
Symbolic Order, according to Lacan they are enjoined to give up or sacrifice the
profoundly pleasurable bond that has developed with the mother: i.e., they're called
upon to "sacrifice" or give up "the Mother" and everything she represents. So when
the Desire of the Mother is repressed, this creates a sense of loss or lack (the
nagging feeling that something is not right or missing). Attendant upon the sense,
object petit a sensation, or feeling of loss is the emergence of a kind of desire that seeks out a
compensatory substitute for "the Mother," which Lacan calls the objet petit a. It's
important to mention that when the objet petit a is acquired or "consumed" it always
yields a strictly provisional (or temporary) sense of gratification and fulfillment. In
other words, the objet petit a can never effectively or functionally replace "the
Mother" and the sense of loss or lack will generally remain an insuperable dimension
of being human.
Which of the following groups can be said The bourgeoisie, legislators, politicians, lobbyists
to generally - i.e., during times of relative
economic, social, and political stability -
play a key role in shaping and maintaining
the social relations of production in Marxist
Theory?
Which of the following terms or phrases the sphere of production, the social relations of production
refer to the base in Marxist Theory?
Sign-exchange value refers to the social True
prestige the purchase of a commodity
bestows on the consumer. (true or false)
For Marx, better wages, better working True
conditions, and rights are the product of
'crisis', class consciousness, and class
conflict. (true and false)
