[[Lacan]]'s [[discussion]] of the "[[Thing]]" constitutes one of the central themes in the [[seminar]] of 1959-60 (''[[Seminars|L'éthique de la psychanalyse]]'' – "[[The Ethics of Psychoanalysis]]"), where he uses the [[French]] term ''[[Thing|la chose]]'' interchangeably with the [[German]] term ''[[Thing|das Ding]]''. There are two main contexts in which this term operates.
==Word-Presentations and Thing-Presentations==The first context is [[LacanFreud]]'s discussion of [[distinction]] between "[[Thing|the word-presentations]]" (''[[Thing|Wort-vorstellungen]]'') and " constitutes one of the central themes in the [[seminarThing|thing-presentations]] of 1959-60 " (''[[SeminarsThing|L'éthique de la psychanalyseSachvorstellungen]]'' – "). The distinction is prominent in [[The Ethics of PsychoanalysisFreud]]")'s metapsychological writings, where in which he uses argues that the two types of presentation are bound together in the [[Frenchpreconscious]] term ''-[[conscious]] [[system]], whereas in the [[Thingunconscious|la Choseunconscious system]]’’ interchangeably with the only [[Germanthing-presentations]] term ''are found.<ref>{{F}} "[[ThingWorks of Sigmund Freud|das DingThe Unconscious]]''", 19l5e. [[SE]] XIV, 161</ref>
<blockquote>"The distinction Thing is prominent in [[Freud]]'s metapsychological writings, in which he argues characterised by the fact that the two types of presentation are bound together in the it is [[preconsciousimpossible]]-[[conscious]] system, whereas in the [[unconscious|unconscious system]] only [[thing-presentations]] are foundfor us to imagine it."<ref>{{FS7}} 19l5ep. 125</ref></blockquote>
==''Jouissance''==
The second context is ''[[jouissance]]''. As well as the [[object]] of [[language]], ''[[jouissanceThing|das Ding]]''is the [[object]] of [[desire]]. It is the [[castration|lost]] [[object]] which must be continually refound, it is the prehistoric, unforgettable [[Other]]<ref>{{S7}} p.53</ref> - in other words, the [[forbidden]] [[object]] of [[incest]]uous [[desire]], the [[mother]].<ref>{{S7}} p. 67</ref> The [[pleasure principle]] is the [[law]] which maintains the [[subject]] at a certain distance from the [[Thing]],<ref>{{S7}} p. 58, 63</ref> making the [[subject]] circle round it without ever attaining it.<ref>{{S7}} p.95</ref>
==''Objet petit a''==
After the [[seminar]] of 1959-60, the term ''[[das Ding]]'' [[disappears ]] almost entirely from [[Lacan]]'s [[Work of Jacques Lacan|work]]. However, the [[ideas ]] associated with it provide the essential features of the new developments in the concept of the ''[[objet petit a]]'' as [[Lacan]] develops it from 1963 onwards. For example the ''[[objet petit a]]'' is circled by the [[drive]]<ref>{{S11}} p.168</ref> and is seen as the [[cause]] of [[desire]] just as ''[[thing|das Ding]]'' is seen as "the cause of the most fundamental [[human ]] [[passion]]."<ref>{{S7}} p.97</ref> Also, the fact that the [[Thing]] is not the [[imaginary]] [[object]] but firmly in the [[register]] of the [[real]], <ref>{{S2}} p.112</ref> and yet is "that which in the real suffers from the [[signifier]],"<ref>{{S7}} p.125</ref> anticipates the transition in [[Lacan]]'s [[thought ]] towards locating ''[[objet petit a]]'' increasingly in the [[register]] of the [[real]] from 1963 on.
