homo erectus

huh huh.

homo erectus is a predecessor of modern humans. Members of this species had tools made of hard wood. They stored them inside orifices. And they spent most of their time impaling things with their long rods.

They used to grunt a lot, especially while impaling things. They drew graffiti on cave walls showing them trying to mount and stick their poles in horses and other animals.

homo erectus is a very cool name for cavemen (and women?).

return of the Real

Term used by psychoanalysts, especially Lacanians, for the eruption into social life of impulses or phenomena which have been repressed from the symbolic order in the process of the formation of a master-signifier. The excluded element is not destroyed but returns in a form which is incomprehensible and terrifying. A "return of the Real" is a sudden eruption and interruption which spectacularly reveals the contingency of social relations and shatters fixed certainties.

For instance, Slavoj Zizek analysed September 11th as a "return of the Real": the repressed fundamentalist impulse which was the hidden outcome of the US's own activities produced an explosive and terrifying result which rocked people's identities and the existing political framework.

A reworking of the return of the repressed.

Doesn't make as much sense outside Lacanian ontology, because the violence and negativity of the "return of the Real" are crucial to its use as a concept. One can reconfigure it to some extent if one suggests that the social order makes its own Real, so that the phrase "return" is simply figurative.

"BIATCH...BIATCH...BIATCH"

Caranthir

One of the seven sons of Feanor, a minor character in Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Often listed along with Celegorm and Curufin, but absent from the account of the kidnapping of Luthien, he died along with this pair while assailing Elwing's forces.

If there's seven, and they're all in pairs, there has to be an odd one out, right? And it's this guy.

Ljuk

City in southern Kalte, a trading post under the nominal control of Sommerlund, which acts as a basis for trade with the Ice Barbarians. Sometimes listed as the capital of Kalte, although its role is not to control the vast icy area, but simply to act as a trading post.

The name-form is not Sommlending, so presumably is derived from an earlier village or notable landmark of the same name, in the language of Kalte.

Lone Wolf visits the city of Ljuk in Lone Wolf 3: The Caverns of Kalte, and it is from here that his mission to find Vonotar begins.
