Sep 4, 2008 - Exactley, the Anglo-American version would be comparable to "cooked food" in Levi-Strauss' semiotic triangle

Sep 4, 2008 - Also as an American, I think we would be much better off if instead of working out ways to ignore what we produce, we spent more time becoming aware of and accepting it. ;^)

Sep 4, 2008 - Holy shit. I don't make stupid puns, so don't misconstrue my words: holy shit! I love Zizek. And years ago, after a shocking trip to Europe, I wrote a column about this--minus the real insight and all that stuff, but... holy shit! This strikes me as a big, fat, reeking brown coincidence, the kind you get after eating greasy filth for days followed by a storm of fiber-fueled bran flakes and bean sprouts. And four cups of coffee. I mean a big, long, superhuman coincidence.

Sep 4, 2008 - I was under the impression that human shit was somehow naturally very special and different from, say dog or cat or horse shit. Ours, I thought, was lighter, more buoyant, somehow less earthy, somehow... less real. But then I went to Holland, where, like in Germany, your shit falls flat on a dry porcelain shelf... then I learned that all the "natural" properties of human shit were lent to it by the water it floats in, here in American toilets. I left Holland a wiser man, for sure.

Sep 4, 2008 - having tried all 3 toiletry systems I think the french as usual,have the most elegant & practical system ;Societies which encourage you to examine your own feaces are In freudian terms,the most self obsessed,greedy & neurotic;The Dutch are an exception to this rule due to having the scheisse -on-slab system imposed upon them.

Sep 4, 2008 - A brilliant fusion of Lacanian psychoanalysis and post-Marxist political economy. Zizek shakes the philosophical foundations of our entire civilization.
