Lacan conceives the difference between the two deaths as the difference being real (biological) death and its symbolization, the settling of accounts the accomplishment of symbolic destiny (deathbed confession in Catholicism, for example). This gap can be filled in various ways; it can contain either sublime beauty or fearsome monsters: in Antigone's case, her symbolic death, her exclusion from the symbolic community of the city, precedes her actual death and imbues her character with sublime beauty, whereas the ghost of Hamlet's father represents the opposite case, - actual death unaccompanied by symbolic death, without a settling of accounts - which is why he returns as a frightful apparition until his debt has been repaid. This place between the two deaths, a place of sublime beauty as well as terrifying monsters, is the site of das Ding, of the real-traumatic Kernel in the midst of symbolic order.

My graduate advisor looked a lot like zizek and I sat through an uncomfortably high number of meetings where he was sloppily eating gyros.

Why would someone sloppily eating a gyro make you uncomfortable? Sounds like you have the problem unless he was tonguing it or something.

I agree with other anon, watching someone eating can be kind of gross unless you're eating yourself. Also, lipsmacking, loud slurpers, and open mouth chewers are disgusting no matter wha

So I guess what your trying to say OP is that many of us here are somewhere in between symbolic death and real death?

It seemed like all his meals were gyro-themed. Remember that Hardee's/Carl's Jr gyro burger? He ate those too. Also it's just kind of gross when you're a slovenly looking dude with tzatziki sauce globules floating in your nebulous beard.

No. I dont frequent that chain.
What did you study in grad school? What are you doing now?
Freaking everyone has a master's these days, but I went to shitty school for undergrad, and had no motivation to continue my studies despite graduating with honors. I also felt I should have some meaningful real world work experience before continuing with my education, but I haven't been able to find anything other than menial work since graduating.

I didn't either, but I knew of it through his meals. My masters was in political science, undergrad was journalism. I work in public relations.

This is actually an insightful account of how death is used in literature, cool.
