| Bio: | [T]he signifier permeated with idiotic enjoyment is what Lacan, in the last stage of his teaching, called "le sinthome." "Le sinthome" is not the symptom, the coded message to be deciphered by interpretation, but the meaningless letter that immediately procures "jouis-sense,""enjoyment-in-meaning," "enjoy-meant.". . . [W]hen we take into account the dimension of the "sinthome," it is no longer sufficient to denounce the "artificial" character of the ideological experience, to demonstrate the way the object experienced by ideology as "natural" and "given" is effectively a discursive construction. . . . What we must do . . . on the contrary, is to "isolate" the "sinthome" from the context by virtue of which it exerts its power of fascination in order to expose the "sinthome's" utter stupidity. . . . [It] produces a distance not by locating the phenomenon in its historical totality, but by making us experience the utter nullity of its immediate reality, of its stupid, material presence that escapes "historical mediation" . . . . [I]t is a little piece of the real attesting to the ultimate nonsense of the universe, but insofar as this object allows us to condense, to locate, to materialize the nonsense of the universe in it, insofar as the object serves to represent this nonsense, it enables us to sustain ourselves in the midst of inconsistency . . . .
