Plaisir vs. Jouissance

From one characteristic of jousissance, liminality shows how a male is not clearly a male or a female is clearly not a female. With this it shows how media can be interpreted in different ways in order for the audience to use several different perspectives to interpret the media. On the other hand plaisir shows depthlessness which enjoys the culture of surface and spectacle aesthetics as a way to be closed off from the world. Abjection from jouissance shows how cultural boundaries are crossed with media in which the audience experiences something our of the norm. The gore that abjection displays in zombie movies exhibits an appeal to the audience from its disgust and unnatural display. Finally, carnivalesque shows how historical phenomenon give a great curiosity in humour and chaos for example halloween and mardi gras.
