Doubtless if I do so you will either insinuate or assert outright that I am bulldozing the panel with repetition. For the last time, I direct you back to my remarks about the visual, verbal and tactile registers in Lacanian theory, and specifically my assertion that cinematic shock tactics bypass the verbal register and go directly from the visual to the tactile. I cannot get you an URL either large or tiny for this, because I am too busy, and I do not want to overload the panel just to prove a point to you which you are determined to evade. It certainly has nothing to do with 'philosophy,' which is a purely verbal activity unless otherwise stated, and you have at no point stated an interest in, or awareness of the distinctive nature of non-verbal media. Others on here have mentioned Lacanian theory with some air of knowledge, and I would invite them to take a turn at explaining the point to you.
