“…The symbolic register is where law, structure, and language coexist together to construct and police desire, characterize culture, and regulate ethics and morality (Evans, 1996). As part of a current wave of interest in Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, art educators such as Atkinson (2004), Hetrick (2010Hetrick ( ), jagodzinski (2004Hetrick ( , 2005Hetrick ( , 2010, Thomas (2012), andWalker (2010) have explored the potential of symbolic register. Atkinson (2004) clarified that the symbolic concerns identification with the place from where we are observed... institutional practices and discourses such as law, medicine or education that position and regulate individuals as subjects.…”

Images of killing and cannibalism occupy a significant site within popular imagination and visual culture, through prohibited, interrelated, and reinforced acts of social violence. While death itself is overdetemined in a broad range of representations, killing the other and eating the other, together or in their respective manifestations, are frequently described as unthinkable transgressions of social codes which help construct us as rational and disciplined human subjects. In psychoanalytic terms, we are subjects of the Law i . Killing, and cannibalism, both affirm and transgress the limits of the social and it's Law.To speak of killing or eating flesh is, in many cases, to speak of monstrous, evil violence. This discourse is imbricated realms of social and cultural deviation, madness, and primitivism, among others. According to Žižek (2008), this discourse is mostly a subjective form of violence that disturbs the "normal" peaceful state of things.... in opposition; Objective violence is precisely the violence inherent to the "normal" state of things.Objective violence is invisible since it maintains the very zero-level standard against which we perceive something as subjectively violent. (p. 2) Subjective violence is considered overt violence, such as images seen in film or television and in news broadcasts, and understood through forms of mass shootings, terrorism, civil unrest, or international conflict. Objective violence, on the other hand, is considered unseen violence-either symbolic in terms of language, for example, or systemic, such as capitalist or communist political economies.Objective violence as systemic is inherent in societies that, despite recent economic downturns, avow that the political economic system is running smoothly.

“…Interactivity in desire is an attempt to develop theoretical discussion to an important concept of digital network technology, that of interactivity, through the Lacanian concept of desire. Over the past two decades there have been growing contributions from researchers using Lacanian psychoanalysis to literature in art education (Atkinson, 1999(Atkinson, , 2002Hetrick, 2010;jagodzinski, 2004Tavin, 2008Tavin, , 2010Thomas, 2010Thomas, , 2012Walker, 2009Walker, , 2010. Utilizing Lacanian psychoanalysis is well established in film studies and literary criticism, especially through concepts such as the gaze, and these early progenitors of psychoanalytic critique have been utilized in visual culture studies, art criticism, and new media studies.…”
