The term "[[alienation]]" is the usual translation for the [[German]] term ''[[alienation|Entfremdung]]'' which features in the [[philosophy]] of [[Hegel]] and [[Marx]].
However, the [[Lacan]]ian concept of [[alienation]] differs greatly from the ways that the term is employed in the [[Hegel]]ian and [[Marx]]ist tradition.<ref>{{SllS11}} p.215</ref>
==Split==
<blockquote>"the initial synthesis of the ego is essentially an alter ego, it is alienated."<ref>{{S3}} p.39</ref></blockquote>
In Rimbaud's words, "I is an other."<ref>{{E}} p.23</ref>
==Imaginary==
Thus [[alienation]] belongs to the [[imaginary]] [[order]]:
<blockquote>"Alienation is constitutive of the imaginary order. Alienation is the imaginary as such."<ref>{{S3}} p.146</ref></blockquote>
