Secondary Places

Donald Kunze

4.9/5 (27103 ratings)

Description:The secondary could be said to “avoid the void.” Its choreography around blank spots accumulates and orders its empty encounters, to the point where the running joke gives way to a new order. The words for this are not in common use. The standard tricks of the secondary have recognizable names — the defective/unreliable narrator (Pale Fire), the lipogram (Perec’s A Void), ekphrasis (description in a work of art of another work of art), palindromic structures (including chiasmus), “body loading” (pick-pocket’s trick), siblings separated at birth (too many to name), “the wrong man” plots (again, too many to mention), misunderstandings (ditto). These should be enough to prove that the secondary is not small change in anybody’s pocket. And, when the matter of the secondary is connected to what Lacan called “between the two deaths,” the interval imagined to exist, after literal death, until the soul finds symbolic resolution, the territory of the death dream, premature burial, catalepsy, and the traditional rites of desiccating the corpse (and by extension the soul) come into play. The second death is the archaic Grand Paradigm for secondariness, and its vast ethnographical lore includes a psychic component, the generic uncanny, whose structure of two primary conditions, (1) the living subject fleeing from death and (2) the dead subject unaware of dying, generate the secondary’s Periodic Table of Elements. The oxygen and nitrogen of this Table are plentiful and common, but its Organesson and Nihonium are hard to find.My aim is to establish a place for even hypothetical cases of secondariness even if a full account is impossible. Secondariness endures the curse of Cassandra. Its secondariness is permanent, radical, self-contained, and recursive. This is because the subject, in Lacan’s system, is secondary to the systems of signifiers that constitute and define subjectivity. The subject arrives “a day late and a dollar short.” Events condense the logic of this alienation; the out-of-place subject encounters empty places, wrong places, strange places. Secondariness casts subjects into roles of hysterics, in that the discourse of the hysteric directly addresses the relation of the system of signifiers to the anomalies: signifiers that are both inside and outside the system. This is why metalepsis is central to hysteria and, more generally, secondariness. It is the form of metonymy that maps frame relations precisely in terms of an in-and-out, what Lacan called “extimacy.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
