This article explores love, ethics, and sexual difference from the perspectives of temporality of being. It examines the interconnections between Lacan's Seminar XX on female sexuality and Irigaray's later works. What Lacan and Irigaray have in common in their later works is their shift of the discussion of love and sexual relations away from negation and lack to embodiment and temporality of being. The first section points out that Lacan in Seminar XX refutes commonsensical notion of love as either "narcissism" or "the fusion of One." He treats these two phenomena as symptoms of the subject of desire and knowledge, indicative of a being fleeing away (taking flight). Lacan rethinks love and being outside the path of desire by privileging jouissance as an alternative bodily being (para-being). The second section draws attention to how Irigaray reconceives the question of love and being through sexual difference. "Wonder" and "to be two" are two ways for Irigaray to treat being away from spatial and temporal fixation and repetition to becoming, event, and the future. |
