Slavoj Zizek is a leading critical theoretician of our time and author of several works on Jacques Lacan. If it focuses on an object that is a mystery, an obscure object, it is nevertheless set out to conquer a universal stance. Whether you like her or not Miss Universe will hold the scepter which represents the desire of all men. Yet after a year a new flower will bloom, rekindling the desire of all men. And this is the fate of the contemporary Aphrodite - propped in the one by one.
Love then is the illusion standing for the absence of rapport between the sexes.
Man does not enjoy the body of the woman, only the part body-sexual drives go solely towards the partial object. They are imaginary signifiers whose matter is taken from the image. Freud surmises a void in the real when he affirms that there isn't a feminine libido, but the one and only - of a masculine type. Also he goes on to install the phallus and the castration complex at the center of boys and girls sexual life. A blind drive, acephalic, demanding satisfaction on a permanent basis - in fact, contrary to sexual abstinence, drive abstinence does not exist.
