Abstract
Abstract Jacques Lacan defines the Other as the linguistic superstructure of the unconscious. It is the collective network of relations into which the subject is inserted, as the subject is inserted into language. It is the matrix of laws, rules and customs that define the subject. The individual subject finds itself inserted into the symbolic order, the field of the Other, which is the unconscious, and which determines the reality, identity, and desire of the subject. What effect does collective life have on the psyche of the individual? Does collective life (civilization) have its discontents? Architecture is managed by committees, writers, and media spokespeople. What is the role of the individual in the collective life of architecture? Architecture enacts a struggle between the maintenance and dislocation of the individual and collective life. How does the struggle between maintenance and dislocation, individual psyche and collective Other, play out in buildings and cities?
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
