The term '[[extimacy]]' ([[French]]:''extimitè'') is coined by [[Jacques Lacan]] by combining the prefix 'ex' (from ''exterieur'' or 'exterior') to the French word ''intimitè'' ('intimacy').{{Top}}extimité{{Bottom}}
This neologism indicates ==Jacques Lacan=====Translation===[[Lacan]] coins the manner in which psychoanalysis problematizes term ''[[extimité]]'' by applying the opposition between inside and outsiderprefix ''ex'' -- from ''exterieur'', "exterior" -- to the [[Freud]] [[word]] ''intimité'' -- "intimacy".<ref>S7, 139</ref>
For example==="Inside" and "Outside"===The resulting neologism, the which may be rendered "[[realextimacy]] is just as much inside as outside, and the in [[unconsciousEnglish]] is not a purely interior psychic system but an , neatly expresses the way in which [[intersubjectivity|intersubjectivepsychoanalysis]] problematizes the opposition between "[[structureinside]] ('the unconscious is outside'). Rhe " and "[[Otheroutside]] is "something strange to me, although it is at the heart of me."<ref>{{S7, 71}} p. 139</ref>
Furthermore===Examples===[[Image:Lacan-mobeiusstrip.jpg|thumb|right|[[Moebius Strip]]]]For example, the center of the [[subjectreal]] is just as much [[inside]] as [[outside; ]]. The [[unconscious]] is not a purely [[inside|interior]] [[psychic]] [[system]] but an [[intersubjectivity|intersubjective]] [[structure]] -- "the subject unconscious is ex-centricoutside".<ref>see E, 165, 171</ref>
The structure ===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 [[extimacysubject]] is perfectly expressed in the [[topologyoutside]] of ; the [[torussubject]] and of the is [[moebius stripexistence|ex-centric]].<ref>{{E}} p.165, 171</ref>
Lacan goes beyond Freud. Not a beyond Freud which leaves Freud behind; it ===Topological Structure of Extimacy===The [[structure]] of [[extimacy]] is a beyond Freud which is nevertheless perfectly expressed in Freud. Lacan is looking for something in Freud's work the [[topology]] of which Freud himself was unaware. Something which we may call "extimate," as it is so very intimate that Freud himself was not aware the [[torus]] and of it. So very intimate that this intimacy is extimate. It is an internal beyondthe [[moebius strip]]. ==See Also=={{See}}* [[Inside]]* [[Moebius strip]]||* [[Other]]* [[Outside]]||* [[Unconscious]]* [[Real]]||* [[Structure]]* [[Subject]]||* [[Topology]]* [[Torus]]{{Also}}
