    • 1998, Slavoj Žižek, chapter 1, in Looking Awry: An Introduction to Jacques Lacan through Popular Culture:
      When we demand an object from somebody, its “use value” (the fact that it serves to satisfy some of our needs) eo ipso becomes a form of expression of its “exchange value”; the object in question functions as an index of a network of intersubjective relations.

      For example, Jim Ruben's remarks are illustrative of neofuturist thinking in which technologies eo ipso impact favorably the political process: “democracy itself . . . is due for a retooling to function in a different world” (1983, 59).
