El primer punto a considerar en este trabajo es la cuestión del vademécum, de ese nécessaire de viaje que es preciso llevar consigo para tener acceso al objeto "diferencia entre los sexos". Respecto de la exigencia epistemológica, de la cuestión del "cómo pensar", es preciso señalar que la tradición clásica no ha sabido definir ese objeto. El vademécum se compone entonces de dos elementos: la identificación de los obstáculos e impedimentos para pensar (en el abanico que va entre la opinión y el concepto), y la reunión de las herramientas indispensables (conceptos clásicos o nuevos: género, transdisciplinariedad, etc.). Continúa con la reflexión posible en torno de la noción "controversia". La controversia de los sexos contiene en sí la expresión de un conflicto tanto en el nivel ontológico (los seres y las cualidades, el sexo como sustantivo y el masculino - femenino como adjetivos) como en el nivel político (la aporía de la identidad y la diferencia, de la libertad y la igualdad como operadores). El cruce entre lo ontológico y lo político es lo que impone entonces pensar la "diferencia entre los sexos" como una categoría vacía.<br>The first point to be considered is the issue of vade mecum, that baggage that must be taken with us to gain access to the object "differences between sexes". In terms of the epistemological demands, i.e. the ways of thinking, we must acknowledge that the classical tradition has not been able to define this object. This vade mecum is made of two elements: the identification of obstacles and impediments for thinking (in the spectrum that lies between opinion and concept) and the collection of tools that we need (classical or new concepts: gender, transdisciplinarity). The following point is the possibility to think about the notion of "controversy". The controversy between the sexes contains in itself the expression of the conflict both at the ontological level (existing beings and qualities, the sex as a noun, and the masculine and feminine as adjectives) and at the political level (the aporethical question of identity and difference, and that of liberty and equality as operators) The crossroad between the ontological and the political levels is then what imposes on us the need to think about the differences between the sexes as an empty category.Date

Sexuated Topology and the Suspension of Meaning: A Non-Hermeneutical Phenomenological Approach to Textual AnalysisBailey, Steven (2014-07-31)This study assumes the subject's pursuit of meaning is generally incapacitating and should be suspended. It aims to demonstrate how such a suspension is theoretically accomplished by utilizing Lacan's formulae of sexuation integrated with his work in discourse theory and topology. Part I places this study into context by examining scholarship from the established fields of hermeneutics, phenomenology, (post)structuralism, aesthetic theory and psychoanalysis in order to extract out their respective theory of meaning. These theories reveal that an historical struggle with meaning has been underway since the Reformation and reaches near crisis proportions in the 20th century. On the one hand this crisis is mollified by the rise of Heideggerian-Gadamerian hermeneutical phenomenology which questions traditional epistemological approaches to the text using a new ontological conceptualization of meaning and a conscious rejection of methodology. On the other hand this crisis is exacerbated when the ubiquitous nature of meaning is itself challenged by (post)structuralism's discovery of the signifier which inscribes a limit to meaning, and by the domains of sense and nonsense newly opened up by aesthetic theory. These historical developments culminate in the field of psychoanalysis which most consequentially delimits a cause of meaning said to be closely linked to the core of subjectivity. Part II extends these findings by rigorously constructing out of the Lacanian sexuated formulae a decidedly non-hermeneutical phenomenological approach useful in demonstrating the sexual nature of meaning. Explicated in their static state by way of an account of their original derivation from the Aristotelian logical square, it is argued that these four formulae are relevant to basic concerns of textual theory inclusive of the hermeneutical circle of meaning. These formulae are then set into motion by integrating them with Lacan's four discourses to demonstrate the breakdown of meaning. Finally, the cuts and sutures of two-dimensional space that is topology as set down in L'étourdit are performed to confirm how the very field of meaning is ultimately suspended from a nonsensical singular point known in Lacanian psychoanalysis as objet a. The contention is that by occupying this point the subject frees himself from the debilitating grip of meaning.
