Abstract

Abstract Jacques Lacan’s fifth Discourse, or Discourse of the Capitalist, suggests that relations of difference are being immobilized or rendered redundant. What individuals are left with is a variety of strategies with which they try to cope, upholding a modicum of consistence and reality. Drawing on cultural examples and Bernard Stiegler’s use of psychoanalysis, this paper examines the relationship between experiences of space, the feeling of nonbeing and the encounter with the Other. If controlling space and enforcing spatial boundaries is the last strategy for keeping vestiges of the Other in working order, a radical re-thinking of space/milieu and objects/designs is necessary for individuals to starting imagining a future beyond capitalism’s creative stagnation and catastrophe.

论不能建构：从拉康的资本主义话语看思维空间、边界与他者

摘要雅克·拉康的第五篇论述，即资本主义的论述，表明差异关系正在被固定或变得多余。个人剩下的是各种各样的策略，他们试图用这些策略来应对，坚持一点一致性和现实性。本文以文化实例和伯纳德·斯蒂格勒(Bernard Stiegler)对精神分析的运用为例，探讨了空间体验、非存在感和与他者相遇之间的关系。如果控制空间和加强空间边界是保持“他者”残存的工作秩序的最后策略，那么对空间/环境和物体/设计进行彻底的重新思考对于个人开始想象一个超越资本主义创造性停滞和灾难的未来是必要的。

期刊介绍： Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
