	Jouissance
		Jouissance, in French, means enjoyment and pleasure, in particularly in an over-the-top sense.
		It has been said that jouissance is 'drained' from the body throughout life, leading to the calm of old age.
		In the phallic economy, the woman, who lacks the phallus, stands in the place of jouissance and the lost object and is thus becomes both desirable and ultimately unobtainable.

	Jouissance - No Subject (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In French, jouissance includes the enjoyment of rights and property, but also the slang verb, jouir, to come, and so is related to the pleasure of the sexual act.
		The pleasure principle thus functions as a limit imposed on enjoyment; it commands the subject to "enjoy as little as possible." Jouissance transgresses this law and, in that respect, it is beyond the pleasure principle.
		The subject's entry into the symbolic is conditional upon a certain initial renunciation of jouissance in the castration complex, when the subject gives up his attempts to be the imaginary phallus for the mother.

	Ensemble Jouissance
		Jouissance was formed in 1993 to explore a dialogue between Medieval and Byzantine chant, and contemporary culture.
		Jouissance has realised a soundworld that is much more than an accompaniment to the lyrics of Hildegard and Abelard, it is a highly imaginative evocation of the very aura of rapture to which these lyrics so often aspire.
		Jouissance has recorded several CDs and one DVD of their Mikres Ikones program recorded live in concert in 2003.

	Jouissance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jouissance is a French term which can be roughly translated as "enjoyment" and is contrasted with plaisir.
		In every sense of the word it is whatever "gets you off." Something that gives the subject a way out of its normative subjectivity through transcendent bliss whether that bliss or orgasmic rapture be found in texts, films, works of art or sexual spheres; excess as opposed to utility.
		Leo Bersani considers jouissance as intrinsically self-shattering, disruptive of a 'coherent self'.

	Masculinity - No Subject (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This is the form of jouissance that Lacan identifies as phallic jouissance.
		This sense of (dis)satisfaction that always leaves something wanting is precisely what Lacan calls phallic jouissance and defines the masculine structure.
		It is essential to keep in mind here, though, that phallic jouissance is not male in the sense that only men can experience it; it is experienced by both men and women and is defined as phallic insofar as it is characterized by failure.

		It specifies the consequences of the first movement in Lacan's teaching as regards the doctrine of jouissance, springing to life with the introduction of the symbolic as composing a dimension distinct from the analytical experience, and a register proper to existence.
		As for jouissance these consequences remain concealed since the conceptual stage is engaged with determining the function of parole as giver of meaning,
		The sixth paradigm is essentially grounded on the non-rapport, on the disjunction of the signifier and the signified, of jouissance and the Other, of man and woman as there's no such thing as a sexual rapport.

		The paradox of jouissance introduces its problematic in to that dialectc of happiness which we analysts have perhaps rashily set out to explore.
		It is as a function of this position, which is itself dependent on the paradox of the Law, that the paradox of jouissance emerges.
		We no doubt constantly see the strange development in a subject that might be described as the testing of a faceless fate or as a risk that, once it has been survived by the subject, somehow guarantees him of his power.

	The Jouissance of English Department Politics: A Tale of Shem and Shaun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		His sense of political oppression did not come from life in a dictatorship, as he seemed to be claiming; rather, it came from the majority of faculty members at the meeting.
		In Freudian terms, enjoyment, or jouissance, is located “beyond the pleasure principle”; it is a kind of satisfaction that comes from a painful encounter with what I have been calling the something more and what Lacan calls the stain, or tuché (translated as “the encounter with the real” [53]).
		In this machine, the sons and daughters of Shaun are being deprived of their enjoyment by Shem; his vitriol, uncooperativeness, and selfishness steal from the majority the opportunity to do the work that would allow the department of English at the University of Montana to catch up with Yale's.

	PLEXUS / Lacanian Ink: Jacques-Alain Miller - Joyce avec Lacan - Preface
		The effect of signified is no longer the case, rather it is what the sign as written bears of a jouissance invariably subtracted from the sender—and this is why whatever happens to the substructure of the letter, the debt settlement always returns to the sender.
		At the place where there was an always autistic jouissance, analysis causes the effects of the signified to arise; it operates on the symptom while introducing a special effect of signification, called "the subject-supposed-to-know," but in itself, the symptom says nothing to anyone: it is ciphering and jouissance, it is pure jouissance of such writing.
		To evoke psychosis was not anymore applied psychoanalysis but on the contrary, with the Joyce-symptom taken for unanalyzable, it was the discourse of the analyst put into question, insofar as the subject identified with the symptom closes up in its artifice.

		If there were another jouissance as opposed to phallic jouissance, “it wouldn’t be/could never fail to be the one.” Lacan’s use of a double negative is a way of avoiding a reduction of this Other jouissance to the economy of phallic jouissance.
		The jouissance of the body as organism is “beyond the pleasure principle”--thus the Other jouissance--while the pleasure of the pleasure principle remains within the phallic economy; that is, within the realm of the signifier.
		Given that this Other jouissance is outside of language, Woman is opened to the possibility of this Other jouissance precisely because she is not-whole--that is, “not totally subjected to the phallic principle” (Verhaeghe, 1999, p.

	Other Voices 1.3 (January 1999), E. Ivan Trujillo, " Perversion as the Jouissance of The Woman in 'The Dead': Joyce, ...
		Thus, from the perspective of the "pervert," we can understand the jouissance of the Woman in "The Dead," with her female perverse subversion (negation) of Gabriel's desire, as a desire for perversion in the male subject (Gabriel Conroy); in a sense, the Woman, by desiring perversion in Gabriel, becomes a pervert herself.
		Unaware of her thoughts, the reader can only interpret her speech according to her voluntary abstention from any part of the Morkan social world (marriage, polite conversation) which, at no point, provides her an identity other than being remembered by Gabriel as "a child...[who] used to sit...nursing a rag doll" and a servant (D, 178).
		In this sense, it is not her husband that occupies the position of the object a in the inaccessible Other of her mind, but the memory (the language) of a boy who provides her, in relation to her husbands despair, a painful jouissance.

	Jouissance is Fun!
		A recent thread on the dialectics of fun brought me to the realization that fun is jouissance and jouissance is fun.
		The derived noun, jouissance, has three current meanings in French: it signifies an extreme or deep pleasure; it signifies sexual orgasm; and in law, it signifies having the right to use something, as in the phrase avoir la jouissance de quelquechose.
		The interpretation of fun as "extreme or deep pleasure" is unproblematic, and certainly sexual orgasm is fun.

		Evil is assimilated to jouissance and interested jouissance is that of woman, constantly considered to be impure, that is, prostituted.
		Far from being a consequence, feminine jouissance provides the solution to the distinction between good and evil, on the condition that one draws an equals sign between "woman" and "mother," a homology authorized by the presence of the paternal signifier investing the divine principal.
		One understands then why "the father" is an angry god: if the jouissance of the mother is forbidden by the father, then feminine jouissance is a subset of incestuous pleasure, and its impurity appears.

		The mythology of feminine jouissance central to the self/other world of the knower, invites in him or her today an exploration of individuating identity through sexual encounter in its own statement of body-thinking, a thinking that grounds back into a primaeval fusion of things poetic in the nature of mind
		Derrida suggests we can experience this deferral and the way it differs when it is speaking between any two things through time and space, for this is really that to which the two terms differ and defer refer.
		If such a betweeness as the time-space continuum can be likened to a dance floor, the ance-nature is the dance feminine jouissance is dancing.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Jouissance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The word becomes relevant to cultural and literary studies through its usage by the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan to signify the condition or bliss, arrival, merging with the other, which can be associated with orgasm but also the obtention of any particularly desired object or condition - for the explorer, arriving at the North Pole perhaps.
		Such experiences, as Freud recognised in his essay “Beyond the Pleasure Principle” (1920), seem to come close to death, and in Freud’s theory imply an urge to regress to the inorganic state that preceded life.
		For Lacan, on the other hand, jouissance seems to imply a desire to abolish the condition of lack (la manque) to which we are condemned by our acceptance of the signs of the symbolic order in place of the Real.

		Then, the next 3 Séminaires are centered on developping the ideas of jouissance and non-existence of a sexual rapport with the help of formal logic.
		First, plenty of ideas developped in it are significant and will renew psychoanlytic theory for years; then, Lacan's style reaches its highest point in the countless ways he distorts language and plays with it.

		It is at this point, when elaborating the real dimension of jouissance, that the concept of the real of the body intervenes.
		With the real of the body, the accent lies on the cut and alienated relation between the subject and jouissance.

		(When asked where her husband is, for example, a wife might say "Right now I'd guess he's off having fun with some little whore.") Only the third meaning of jouissance seems superficially wrong for "fun", but consider these usages:
		Jouissance, for Lacan, is not a purely pleasurable experience but arises through augmenting sensation to a point of discomfort (as in the sexual act, where the cry of passion is at times indistinguishable from the cry of pain), or as in running a marathon.
		Now, the Real, (le real) is, of course a fish -- specifically, a kind of sturgeon, as I have shown.

		Indeed, this is the first book to appear in English that displays a firm grasp of both theory and practice of Lacanian psychoanalysis, the author being one of the only Americans to have undergone full training with Lacan's school in Paris.

	I cite: Other Jouissance (revisited)
		In a typically marvellous and insightful discussion, this time a completely clear account of the formulae of sexuation, Levi mentions the, for me at least, tricky notion of Other jouissance.
		It makes no sense; it relies on rhetorical twists and redeployments, on words as memes, as bits of affective and markers of intensity disconnected from larger signifying economies anchored in something like reason (a or the phallic function).
		So, is it possible that Other jouissance can function as an operation of power, perhaps an operation central to fascism (or, more limitedly, to what I've been theorizing as communicative capitalism)?
