Action! [on Artaud]

Currently working on an essay regarding Artaud. Until it is completed, here is something from Žižek to mull over...

"The transfixed gaze isolates a stain of the real, a detail which 'sticks out' from the stain of symbolic reality - in short, a traumatic surplus of the real over the symbolic...it is 'substantiated', caused, created, by the transfixed gaze itself."

[from 'everything you wanted to know about lacan (but were afraid to ask hitchcock)' pg. 236]
