  • Qui Perd Gagne: Failure and Cinematic Seduction
    1 Žižek and Cinema - IJŽS Vol 1.3 Qui Perd Gagne: Failure and Cinematic Seduction Hugh S. Manon – Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma, United States Introduction – “To Cracow” Although it is mentioned only once in the writings of Sigmund Freud, the so called “Jewish joke” appears on various occasions in the work of Jacques Lacan (1978: 139; 1993: 37; 2006: 13, 436) and is developed in various permutations, and with great didactic force, by Slavoj Žižek (1989: 197; 1992: 73; 1998: 12). The joke, as Freud originally presents it, is as follows: Two Jews met in a railway carriage at a station in Galicia. “Where are you going?” asked one. “To Cracow,” was the answer. “What a liar you are!” broke out the other. “If you say you’re going to Cracow, you want me to believe you’re going to Lemberg. But I know that in fact you’re going to Cracow. So why are you lying to me?” (1960: 137-8) For Freud, this unusual joke points up “the problem of what determines the truth” by playing on the difference between two kinds of lying. Whereas a basic lie involves a willful attempt to represent things as other than they are, regardless of who is listening, a second option is also available. Taking into account how various statements might be received by a particular individual—for instance someone already known to be a skeptic—a speaker may create a customized lie, one more ideally suited to the disposition of its potential victim. The result is a paradox: a lie that takes the form of the truth itself.
