[The first item to note about the movie, Brazil<\/i>, is that the object that brings society into organization is purely nonsensical.\u00a0 The object is \u201csecurity\u201d, which makes no sense at all, since the security apparatus tortures and kills innocent people, attempting to identify members of the resistance.<\/p>\n
This nonsensical object resonates with Rene Girard\u2019s \u201cconflictual mimesis\u201d, where a mimetic rivalry loses sight of \u201cwhat they were fighting over\u201d (acquisitive mimesis) and focuses purely on confronting the demonic other (thinkanti-object<\/sup>).\u00a0 In conflictual mimesis, each rival appears as a double with respect to the other.<\/p>\n Brazil<\/i> artfully points out that the one of the doubles does not have to actually exist.\u00a0 The \u201crival\u201d (here, the terroristic resistance) may be the projection of an anti-object by a pro-object sovereign.\u00a0 This explains why innocent people are rounded up and tortured while the security apparatus can never find the terrorists.<\/p>\n Do the terrorists even exist?<\/p>\n Well, they must be. Bombs are going off everywhere.\u00a0 Or maybe, the bombs are overloaded environmental conditioning ducts.<\/p>\n The second item to note is that thinkdivine<\/sup> makes it appearance through dreamy fantasies that interpellate the hero’s impossible journey. \u00a0Recall, the relation between \u201cthe denial of lawessential<\/sup>\u201d and \u201clawessential<\/sup>\u201d is that of \u201cimpossibility\u201d.<\/p>\n As the movie goes, the dream is actualized, by a synchronic event, and this leads to madness (chaos) and capture (control), fulfilling the logic of thinkpro-object<\/sup>, stigmatizing and punishing the na\u00efve, confused and innocent thinkanti-object<\/sup> hero.<\/p>\n The third item to note is that the only option for the subject is withdrawal into Nothingness.\u00a0 In Nothingness, the hero finds salvation.\u00a0 In Nothingness, the security apparatus blames the victim.<\/p>\n Here, Rene Girard has spoken most eloquently on the uniqueness of Christ as the way into the Nothingness of the Eclipse of Thinkdivine<\/sup>.]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [The first item to note about the movie, Brazil, is that the object that brings society into organization is purely nonsensical.\u00a0 The object is \u201csecurity\u201d, which makes no sense at all, since the security apparatus tortures and kills innocent people, attempting to identify members of the resistance.
