Hegelian Egirl Council - Anna Quits HEC 1

PROTIP: Press the ← and → keys to navigate the gallery, 'g' to view the gallery, or 'r' to view a random image.

I'm announcing that I'll be stepping back from the "Hegelian egirl" project and taking an extended break from most social media as well as the NYC cultural scene. Instead, I will be focusing much more thoroughly on my studies. A full manifesto I wrote in the name of the project (including and expanding on the "mini-manifesto") will still be published in the September edition of ŠUM, which I am looking forward to, mainly as a clarification of my political standpoint and as the first elaboration of some key theoretical concepts I will continue working on (in particular what I'm calling "meta-Christianity"). The fullest lesson I can extract from the "Hegelian egirl" experience is this: it was based on the naive idea of the possibility of brute force convertibility between metaphysics and culture, which can easily be read into Žižek (a reading I'd nevertheless expect him to repudiate), and what it feels like I have learned is that this convertibility is one-sided. Culture can be understood in light of metaphysics, but culture doesn't really help us to understand anything distinctly, it only helps us to enjoy, in the full Lacanian sense of jouissance. The trouble with this cultural jouissance is that it partakes in a violence of the signifier which it cannot rationally avow-my claim is that another (more holy) jouissance is possible, but it has become clear to me that the culture is not ready for it. No matter how liberal or "tolerant" in form, and no matter how resistant to either extremes of populism or elitism, beginning from cultural premises can only ever be reactionary, because they are the premises of the reactive defense of a symptom against possible threats to its enjoyment, not the premises of the discernment of a universal symbolic violence before which the individual's symptom is humbled (what Simone Weil called "decreation"). This is also why I think the universal spirit of Christianity can only be fully carried forward by speculative metaphysics; any identitarian Christian "culture" is a re-paganization. I have no interest, either, in promoting "traditional" or "aristocratic" values (just as I have no interest in promoting "woke" values). Any merit these culturally stereotyped ideas have quickly devolves into self-defeating hypocrisy (that's dialectics at work).
