Thanks!!! I roughed that out during these blissful weeks I had at the T. S. Eliot writer's residence over on the Massachusetts shore recently. After I posted it I thought the paragraphs were ok one on one but somehow jumbled and out of order. But it's a great line of thought, this void thing. One reader sent me a picture of Giacommetti's statue: Handling the Void. Look it up. It will catch your breath.
Magnificient post! I've been reading a lot of Irigaray lately and I think her ideas resonate with what you said about the reciprocity between the mother and the infant. For Lacan, the subject seems to be always imprisoned in a shell of fantasy and dialectical reflection. It seems almost a kind of Sartrean attitude. Whence from their pessimism towards love.
Oh 'magnificent'! Made my day. I am now down a rabbit hole with Hegel, because I have to give a lecture coming up, but next time Irigaray and the very difficult but very inspiring Bracha Ettinger. Do you know her work?? great point about dialectical reflection. Brooding on it.
Irigaray's critique of Hegel in Sharing the Fire also mirrors Deleuze in really interesting ways. In the end its the matter of becoming-other, the shamanism of difference. I have not yet read Ettinger. But I really like her visual artwork. Looking forward to your further elucidations!

Incredible Cleo, you always knock it out of the park. Your publications are events.
