One of the penalties of being a human being is other human beings.

is nothing other than the collection of signifiers that make up language.

The definition of this collection of signifiers is that they constitute what I call the Other. The difference afforded by the existence of language is that each signifier (contrary to the unitary trait of the integer number) is, in most cases, not identical with itself precisely because we have a collection of signifiers, and in this collection one signifier may or may not designate itself. (lacan 1970 pdf.)

 anthropologist don't report, but rather, create.

In Works and Lives, Geertz (1988) tells anthropologist that they are creators of otherness, not its reporters' (Handelman 1994:343).

For Husserl and phenomenology, 'there is a problem of the other,' at least once we have embraced the notion of an 'incarnate mind' (434). It is only 'in the world that we have the chance to have an experience of the other' (435).

is what we ourselves are, for we are always other than we are now.

We are other than what we are now: others that are not elsewhere, but always in this same life. Now for Nietzsche, is not lucidity (which means the thought of a total discordance between the hidden reality and the one that is claimed or admitted) the opposite of life' Is it not the inertia of power' Is it not precisely the non-true, the error that permits the human species to survive' (Nietzsche in Klossowski 'viscious' : 54)

is the a priori transcendental condition of Dasein.

On the basis of such observations, Heidegger argues that to be Dasein at all means to Be-with: “So far as Dasein is at all, it has Being-with-one-another as its kind of Being” (Being and Time 26: 163).

big other

is a notion concerned with the fact that some of our most intimate feelings and attitudes, and even beliefs and knowledges, manage to be displaced to some figure outside of the self. The other can 'believe and know for me'.
