In this long episode, Ben and I conclude our dissection of "L' étourdit," paying specific attention to Lacan's use of topology in his illustration of subjectivity constituted by "cuts." We also explore the implications of Lacan's thought as a political tool and how it differs from the work of other theorists--Derrida, Deleuze--who were writing at the same time.
