Theory & Philosophy
David Guignion
Welcome! My name’s David Guignion and I distill complicated philosophical and theoretical ideas for wide audiences. While ideas are important to help us understand the world, it is even more important to put ideas into action. Some of this channel’s key theoretical and pragmatic influences include, but are not limited to, Marxism, Decolonialization, Feminism, Gender and Queer theory, and Critical Race Theory.

The Mirror Stage | Jacques Lacan | Keyword
Explore the intriguing concept of the Mirror Stage, where a child first recognizes their image as distinct from their mother. Discover how this recognition isn't the true self but a constructed identity shaped by societal influences. Delve into the role of language in forming our ego and the implications for psychoanalysis. Learn how talking can sometimes alienate us from our genuine experiences, as it mediates our connection to self. This discussion sheds light on the complex relationship between identity, society, and language.
