==Death Drive and Sigmund Freud ==[[Sigmund Freud|Freud]] articulated introduced the [[concept ]] of the [[death drive]] (Fr. ''pulsion de mort'') in ''[[Beyond the Pleasure Principle]]''. <ref>1920g</ref> In this work he asserts a fundamental opposition between [[life drives]] ([[eros]]1920) - associated with [[cohesion]] and [[unity]] - and the [[death drives]] - associated with [[destruction]] and [[fragmentation]].<ref>Freud 1930a: Se XXI, 120</ref>
Here he established a fundamental opposition between [[death drive|life drive]]s (The concept ''[[eros]]''), conceived of as a tendency towards [[cohesion]] and [[unity]], and the [[death drive was one of ]]s, which operate in the most controversial concepts introduced by Freudopposite direction, [[undoing]] connections and many of his disciples rejected it, but Freud continued to reaffirm the concept for the rest of his lifedestroying things. Of the non-Lacanian schools of psychoanalytic theory, only Kleinian psychoanalysis takes the concept seriously.)
===Nostalgia===In 1946, [[Lacan associates ]]'s first remarks on the [[death drive]], in 1938, he describes it as a [[nostalgia]] for a [[preoedipal|lost harmony]], a [[desire]] to [[return]] to the [[preoedipal|preoedipal fusion]] with the [[suicidemother]]'s [[breast]], the [[castration|suicidal tendencyloss]] of which is marked on the [[psyche]] in the [[narcissismcomplex|weaning complex]].<ref>Ec, 186{{1938}} p. 35</ref>
===Narcissism===In the 1950s, Lacan does not situate the 1946 he [[death drivelinks]] in the [[imaginarydeath drive]] (despite its association with to the [[preoedipal phasenarcissism|suicidal tendency]] and of [[narcissism]]), but rather in the [[symbolic]].<ref>{{Ec}} p. 186</ref>.
==Death Drive and Biology=Symbolic Order===For FreudHowever, when [[Lacan]] begins to develop his concept of the [[death driveorder|three orders]] of [[imaginary]] was closely bound up with , [[biologysymbolic]] and [[real]], representing the fundamental tendency of every living thing to return to an inorganic state.By situating the death drive firmly in the symbolic1950s, Lacan articulates it with culture rather than nature; he states that does not situate the [[death drive "is not a question of bjolog,"<ref>E, 102</ref> and must be distinguished from ]] in the biological instinct to return to [[imaginary]] but in the inanimate[[symbolic]].<ref>S7, 211-12</ref>
==Death Drive and Drives=Repetition===Another difference between Lacan's concept In the [[seminar]] of the death drive and Freud's emerges in 1964. Freud opposed the death drive to the sexual drives1954-5, for example, but nowLacan he argues that the [[death drive ]] is not a separate drive, but is in fact an aspect - of every DRIVE. "The distinction between the life drive and simply the death drive is - true in as much as it manifests two aspects fundamental tendency of the drive."<ref>gl 20</ref>Hence Lacan writes that "every drive is virtually a death drive;"<ref>Ec, 844</ref> because# every drive pursues its own extinction, # every drive involves the subject in repetition, and # every drive is an attempt to go [[beyond the pleasure principlesymbolic order]], to the realm of produce [[excess jouissancerepetition]] where enjoyment is experienced as suffering.:
<blockquote>"The [[death drive|death instinct]] is only the mask of the [[symbolic order]]."<ref>{{S2}} p. 326</ref></blockquote> ==Look Up=Biological Instincts===This shift also marks a [[difference]] with [[Freud]], for whom the [[death drive]] was closely bound up with [[biology]], representing the fundamental tendency of every [[living]] [[thing]] to return to an inorganic [[state]]. By situating the [[death drive]] firmly in the [[symbolic]], [[Lacan]] articulates it with [[culture]] rather than [[nature]]; he states that the [[death drive]] "is not a question of biology,"<ref>{{E}} p. 102</ref>, and must be distinguished from the [[biological]] [[instinct]] to return to the inanimate.<ref>{{S7}} p. 211-12</ref>3 ===Sexual Drives===[[Another]] difference between [[Lacan]]'s concept of the [[death drive]] and [[Freud]]'s emerges in 1964. [[Freud]] opposed the [[death drive]] to the [[sexual]] [[drive]]s, 1but now [[Lacan]] argues that the [[death drive]] is not a [[separate]] [[drive]], 64but is in fact an aspect of every [[drive]]. <blockquote>"The [[distinction]] between the [[death drive|life drive]] and the [[death drive]] is -5[[true]] in as much as it manifests two aspects of the [[drive]]."<ref>{{S11}} p. 257</ref></blockquote> Hence [[Lacan]] writes that "every [[drive]] is virtually a [[death drive]]" because:# every [[drive]] pursues its own extinction, 94# every [[drive]] involves the [[subject]] in [[repetition]], 135 Conversationsand # every [[drive]] is an attempt to go beyond the [[pleasure principle]], to the realm of [[excess]] ''[[jouissance]]'' where [[enjoyment]] is experienced as [[sadism|suffering]].<ref>{{Ec}} p.844</ref>
