Abstract

My critics point out that I introduce unnecessary conceptual distinctions while failing to draw ones that matter. Both Hook and Sullivan, for example, point out that my article does not differentiate between affect and emotion. Hook also notes that I do not differentiate between the Lacanian registers of the symbolic, the imaginary and the real when discussing identification. He also notes that a number of distinctions I draw are spurious – namely between love and hate and between the Innenwelt and the Umwelt. The substance of the above critique rests almost exclusively on a body of Lacanian and post-Lacanian thought. With Hook, I share a deep respect for the insights offered by Lacanian psychoanalysis. I would, however, like to make a few observations.
