=====Jacques Lacan=====
[[Lacan]]uses the term "'''[[repetition|automatisme de répétition]]'''s notion " ("[[repetition|repetition automatism]]"), which, in the French psychiatric tradition of Pierre Janet, refers to the [[repetition|compulsive repetition]] or [[repetition|reproduction]] of ''an [[complex|internalized social structure]]''. "'''[[insistence of the letter]]'''" (''[[l'instance de la lettre]]''), or of the [[repetition|compulsive repetition]] of certain '''[[signifier]]s''' or '''[[letter]]s''' despite the [[subject]]'s [[consciousness|conscious attempts]] to [[repression|repress]] them, is a [[development]] of [[Freud]]'s "[[repetition|compulsion to repeat]]"
