Dejan, your comments in your long post were terrific and fascinating,
but on this point you are 'bending the truth' a little bit !! If you're
talking about the European Graduate School in Switzerland, as I think
you are, that is not 'the media school of Zizek', and about a hundred
different luminaries (Zizek included) blow in and out of the place to
offer their seminars! You might just as well say Lynch is 'in the
school of Badiou and Nancy', or that he's hanging out discoursing with
Claire Denis and Akerman, because they are all on the school's
staff/guest list! The fact is - I don't think this is a controversial
statement - Lynch is no intellectual; he's the Instinctive Artist right
down the line, and it works for him. His films are deep, but they're
not 'conceptual' in the way some others are. As to the way we choose to
read them, that's our responsibility, not his!
