This chapter explores the connection between culture and lying, highlighting how certain modes of lying shape culture and the complex working of truth in lying. They discuss the concept of truth itself speaking and the background in which a truth statement can be formulated. Examples of concealing information to create additional meaning and the double dimension of lying are also discussed.
This week, the fellas are back discussing Alenka Zupančič's Problemi essay, 'Lying on the Couch'. How does the psychoanalytic framework allow us to make sense of culture and lying, what is the asymmetry of a truth and a lie, and what did we think of the new Beatles song? Mike is hot (again), Will has moved (again), and Peter kind of liked Killers of the Flower Moon. Enjoy!
