THE TWELVE TRIBES OF DR. LACAN
La-CANE-ians: The cane or crutch is understood as a third leg or limping / stuttering phallus
LAKE-anians: the unconscious is structured like a lake
LACK-anians focus on “the ache of lack” and the desire to fill this void with ultimately unsatisfying and imaginary objects
La-CAN-ians: the can-do, pragmatic strain
La-CAN’T-ians: a form of negative dialectics
La-CUNT-ians: by far the most radical followers of Lacan, who believe the unconscious is structured like the female genital organ
La-KIN-ians: a cross between the ideas of Lacan and Levi-Strauss, which stresses the importance of interrelations and kinship patterns
LOW-canians situate themselves in opposition to the “high”’canians
La-CONE-ians believe the unconscious is structured like a cone
La-KANT-ians: a philosophical branch that connects the thinking of Lacan to that of Immanuel Kant
La-KILT-ians believe the unconscious is structured like a kilt
