==Development of the GraphFour Stages==In this paper, [[Lacan]] first develops builds up the [[graph of desire]] in four [[Seminar V|the seminar of 1957-8]] in order to illustrate the [[psychoanalytic theory]] of [[jokestages]]s.<ref>[[Freud|Freud, Sigmund]]. ''Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious. SE VIII. 1905.</ref>
The first of these stages in the "[[graph of desire|elementary cell]]" of the [[graph of desire|graph]].<ref>{{E}} p.303</ref>
The horizontal line represents the [[diachronic]] [[signifying chain]]; the horseshowhorseshoe-shaped line represents the vector of the [[subject]]'s [[intention]]ality.
The [[double ]] intersection of these two lines illustrates the [[nature ]] of [[time|retroaction]]: the [[message]], at the point marked '''s(A)''' in the [[graph of desire|elementary cell]], is the ''[[point de capiton]]'' determined [[time|retroactively]] by the [[particular ]] [[punctuation]] given to it by the [[Other]], '''A'''.
The pre[[linguistic|prelinguistic]] [[mythical ]] [[subject]] of pure [[need]], indicated by the [[triangle]], must [[pass ]] through the defiles of the [[signifier]] which produces the [[divided]] [[subject]], '''$'''.
Nevertheless, [[Lacan]] never intended to describe the genetic stages of a [[biological]] [[development]].
Rather, it represents the "[[logical ]] moments" of the [[birth ]] of a [[speaking]] [[subject]].
In the [[graph of desire|complete completed graph]] there are not one but two [[signifying chain]]s.
The lower [[chain]] (from the [[signifier]] to the [[voice]]) is the [[conscious]] [[signifying chain]], the level of the [[statement]].
The upper [[chain]] (from ''[[jouissance]]'' to [[castration]]) is the [[signifying chain]] in the [[unconscious]], the level of the [[enunciation]].
The [[structure]] is thus duplicated: the upper part of the [[graph]] is [[structured ]] exactly like the lower part.
