What's in a Name?: Naomi Shihab Nye's 'Blood' and the Unspeakable Ordeal of the Real; A Lacanian Reading
\"Blood\" celebrates the possibility of overcoming the experience of ethnic othering, thanks to the symbolizing process undertaken by the speaker's father, a Palestinian refugee. Naomi Shihab Nye thus underscores the efficiency of the Symbolic and the liberating potentialities of the Imaginary. Yet, the poem introduces a dialectical reversal as the symbolic structure put in place by the Shihabs is threatened with collapse by the disruptive forces of the Real. The sociopsychological family portrait Nye's poem is focused on can thus be understood in broader terms as a composite of systems put under tension and stabilized through writing. The testimonial task of this Arab American poet is coupled with the necessity to repair a deficiency in the relation between the Real, the Symbolic, and the Imaginary. Poetically examining the paternal function gives the daughter the possibility to repair a flaw in structure, and to probe the ontological knot that constitutes the human subject.

ON THE CLAIM \ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE STREET ARE SAGES\
This essay argues that the popular attribution of the claim \"All the people on the street are sages\" to Wang Yangming (1472–1528) is mistaken, and the misattribution comes from a misreading of the utterance \"[I] saw [that] all the people on the street are sages,\" made actually by his two students in passage 313 of the Chuanxilu as a factual claim rather than an expression of attitude.
