First session. « About jouissance ». Published in french as early as in 1975, Encore may be the most emblematic Lacan's Séminaire. First, plenty of ideas developped in it are significant and will renew psychoanlytic theory for years; then, Lacan's style reaches its highest point in the countless ways he distorts language and plays with it. During Encore, the final formalization of the non-existence of the sexual rapport (with the sexuation formulas table) and the full completion of jouissance's theory will progressively give way to what will become the topologic period of Lacan's teaching. In the end of Encore, he introduces his famous booromean knot on which he'll work during his last 8 years. The US edition is called The Seminar, Book XX : On feminine sexuality, the limits of love and knowledge : Encore. In this first session, Lacan speaks about love and jouissance.

Often controversial, always inspired, [[French]] [[intellectual]] [[Jacques Lacan]] begins the twentieth year of his famous [[Seminar]] by weighing theories of the relationship between the [[desire]] for [[love]] and the attainment of [[knowledge]] from such influential and diverse thinkers as [[Aristotle]], [[Marx]], and [[Freud]].
 
  
From here he leads us through [[mathematics]], [[philosophy]], [[religion]], and, naturally, [[psychoanalysis]] into an entirely new and unexpected way of interpreting the two most fundamental [[human]] [[drive]]s.

==Description==
 
''Seminar XX'' is [[Lacan]]'s major work on [[feminine]] [[sexuality]]. 
 
  
In particular he explores the question of [[feminine]] [[desire]] that was absent from his earlier theory of the [[phallus]]. 
+
|-
 
+
|}<!-- Start of right-column -->
It is a short [[seminar]] with only 11 presentations and many of these are rather enigmatic and aphoristic, if they are not read in relation to the discussion of [[courtly love]] in ''[[Seminar VII]]'' and the formulation of ''[[jouissance]]'' and [[drive]] in ''[[Seminar XI]]''. 
+
|}
 
+
__NOTOC__  __NOEDITSECTION__
''[[Seminar XX]]'' develops the idea that the '[[woman does not exist]]' and that she is '[[not-whole]]', but also goes beyond the discussions of [[feminine]] [[sexuality]] to consider the relationship between ''[[jouissance]]'' and [[love]] and the idea of ''[[jouissance]]'' as the ultimate [[limit]] of [[human]] [[knowledge]].
 
 
 
In the seminar ''[[Encore]]'', [[Lacan]] proposed what he called "[[formulas of sexuation]]" to set down the basic structures of [[male]] and [[female]] [[sexuality]].
