[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek, after whose book Parallax the conference was themed, dwelt on the relation between inside and outside, as pertaining to the individual's psychology (read from his Lacanian position) and to physical situations (with an insistence on the continuing reality of class warfare).
Pennington invokes the kind of Lacanian approach whose motto might be 'further over, further out', in contrast to Lewis's "further up, further in" (see Gray, Fantasy 107).
At the beginning, we have the proposition, apropos Monica Lewinsky, that Bill Clinton may have been "the world's first Lacanian president" because, as Lacan saw it, "there is no such thing as a sexual relationship" (and as Clinton tried to explain to a mortified nation, oral sex should be thought of as an aperitif rather than an entree).
