commented:
"And yes, from what I understand, Lacan was quite the
character...didn't he have an affair with the wife of Althusser or
something?
 
>>>Probably (few escaped), but more vivid in my memory is
the affair with Sylvia Bataille, wife of Philosopher and Freudian
Georges Bataille. It's memorable because Lacan's favorite daughter
Judith came into existence well before the Batailles were
divorced and Sylvia had become Mrs. L, so that Lacan ended up adopting
or legitimatizing (don't know the correct term) his own child.  Sylvia
Bataille was the fetching lass in Renoir's "A Day in the Country" by
the way."


A-and didn't Althusser attempt to do in Mrs. A?  I've heard it blamed on
Alzheimer's--or was that just an excuse?  And if ideology is the lived
relations of human subjects, what does that mean?
