Now that you have a better handle on Lacan, write a response
to his ideas. How useful do you consider his work for an investigation of soulmate
narratives? How useful or applicable do you find his ideas to real life? What
are some things you think you’ll take and use from Lacan? What are some things
you will abandon?
OR
Practice using Lacan on a song (or poem) that deals with
love in some way. Do the method on the song/poem and then consider: what are
elements of the song/poem that Lacan would draw attention to? What are elements
he would overlook? How might you use Lacan to come to a different
interpretation of that song or poem?
Some suggestions (if you can’t think of any):
Poems: Poe “Anabelle Lee,” Browning “Porphyria’s Lover”
Songs: The Killers “When You Were Young,” Jimmy Eat World “23,” Mumford & Sons “White Blank Page,” Passenger “Let Her Go,” Vanessa Carlton “White Houses”
