Scot,

PAUL HOGGETT's article "Perverse Social Structures" (Journal of Psycho-Social Studies Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2010) - which I just found again by searching in Google ...

... Reminds me of Lacan's psychoanalytic theorizing (who departs theoretically from Freud creating something anew), but where this article adds a kind of countercultural sensibility. For Lacan's symbolic, imaginary (mirror) and real registers, the imaginary could be seen as the as-if. I head in the direction of as-if with computer multimedia in defining "virtual" in my actual-virtual Harbin ethnographic book (http://bit.ly/HarbinBook), and explicitly touch on this re Lacan's thinking (e.g. https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/06/mauve-phyllidiella-pustulosa-jacques.html).

But Lacan was alive, teaching and practicing psychoanalysis in France / Belgium in the 1960s/1970s, so seemed attuned to counterculture himself ...

See the fascinating hour long video of Lacan in about 1970 here -

...

Am also interested in questions of an individual's agency re "perverse social structures" ... and re questions of John Money's pair-bonding and troop-bonding (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2010/05/sweet-birch-questions-of-determinism-on.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/05/eastern-cottonhead-rabbit-building-on.html) re an evolutionary biological understanding of social aspects of being human primates and living in human societies. Curious how all ~200 nation states will emerge in a realistic virtual earth building on issues/questions of neoliberalism and developing social democracies ...

Cheers,
Scott
