==Sigmund Freud==
[[Freud]] uses the term "[[inversion]]" ([[Fr]]. ''[[inversion]]'') to designate [[homosexuality]], the idea being that [[homosexuality]] is the [[inverse]] of [[heterosexuality]].
==Jacques Lacan==
Thus in [[schema L]], the [[imaginary]] is represented as a barrier blockign the [[discourse]] of the [[Other]], causing this [[discourse]] to arrive at the [[subject]] ''in an inverted form''.
Hence [[Lacan]]'s definition of [[analytic]] [[communication]] in which the sender receives his own [[message]] in an [[inversion|inverted form]].
In 1957, both senses of the term are brought together in [[Lacan]]'s discussion of [[Leonardo da Vinci]].
Taking up [[Freud]]'s argument about [[Leonardo]]'s [[homosexuality]],.<ref>Freud. 1910c.</ref>
[[Lacan]] goes on to argue that [[Leonardo]]'s [[specular]] [[identification]] was highly unusual in that it resulted in an [[inversion]] of the positions (on [[schema L]]) of the [[ego]] and the [[little other]].<ref>{{S4}} p.433-4</ref>
