With Turing machines that think the world, with Lacans language that thinks the real, with Barthes language that signifies the world, with the optical apparatus images that witness the 'real', with the gramophone - the sound of the real, and with the computer pictures that simulate the real, the legacy of modernitys obsession with representation and its apparatuses resides between illusion and alibi. As Zizek reminds us, the issue is not between reality and simulation, but within the reality of illusion itself. This talk will take aim at the reality principle as the core tragedy of a culture inebriated by a desperate illusion.
