=====Jacques Lacan==========Translation=====
[[Lacan]] coins the term ''[[extimité]]'' by applying the prefix ''ex'' -- from ''exterieur'', "exterior" -- to the [[Freud]] word ''intimité'' -- "intimacy".
====="Inside" and "Outside"=====The resulting neologism, which may be rendered "[[extimacy]] in [[English]], neatly expresses the way in which [[psychoanalysis]] problematizes the opposition between "[[inside]]" and "[[outside]]"<ref>{{S7}} p.139</ref>
===Examples===
[[Image:Lacan-mobeiusstrip.jpg|thumb|right|[[Moebius Strip]]]]
For example, the [[real]] is just as much [[inside]] as [[outside]]. The [[unconscious]] is not a purely [[inside|interior]] [[psychic]] [[system]] but an [[intersubjectivity|intersubjective]] [[structure]] -- "the unconscious is outside".
The ===Subject as Ex-centric===Again, the [[unconsciousOther]] is not a purely "something strange to me, although it is at the heart of me."<ref>{{S7}} p. 71</ref> Furthermore, the center of the [[inside|interiorsubject]] is [[psychicoutside]] ; the [[systemsubject]] but an is [[intersubjectivityexistence|intersubjectiveex-centric]] [[structure]] -- "the unconscious is outside". <ref>{{E}} p.165, 171</ref>
=====Subject as Ex-centric=====Again, the [[Other]] is "something strange to me, although it is at the heart of me."<ref>{{S7}} p.71</ref>  Furthermore, the center of the [[subject]] is [[outside]]; the [[subject]] is [[existence|ex-centric]].<ref>{{E}} p.165, 171</ref> =====Topological Structure of Extimacy=====
The [[structure]] of [[extimacy]] is perfectly expressed in the [[topology]] of the [[torus]] and of the [[moebius strip]].
