The '"[[other]]'/'" is perhaps the most [[Othercomplex]]' (term in [[FrenchLacan]]: ''s [[autrework]]''/''[[Autre]]'' is perhaps the most complex term in Lacan's work. {{Top}}[[Freudautre]] uses the term '[[other]]' to speak of ', 'der Andere'' ('the other person') and ''das Andere'' ('otherness').[[Autre{{Bottom}}
==Jacques Lacan==
===Big Other (Autre, "A")===The [[big Other must first ]] designates radical [[alterity]], an [[otherness]] which transcends the [[illusory]] [[other|otherness]] of all the [[imaginary]] because it cannot be considered a locusassimilated through [[identification]]. [[Lacan]] equates the [[big Other]] with [[language]] and the [[law]], and hence the locus [[big Other]] is inscribed in which speech the [[symbolic]] [[order]]. Indeed, the [[big Other]] ''is'' the [[symbolic]] insofar as it is constitutedparticularized for each [[subject]]."<ref>{{S3}} pThus, the [[Other]] is both another [[subject]] in its radical [[alterity]] and unassimilable uniqueness and also the [[symbolic]] [[order]] which mediates the [[relationship]] with that [[subject]].274</ref>
==Speech and the Other==However, the [[meaning]] of "the [[Other]] as another [[subject]]" is strictly secondary to the meaning of "the [[Other]] as [[symbolic]] [[order]]." "The Other must first of all be considered a locus, the locus in which speech is constituted."<ref>{{S3}} p. 274</ref> It is thus only possible to speak of the [[Other]] as a [[subject]] in a secondary [[sense]], in the sense that a [[subject]] may occupy this position and thereby '"embody' " the [[Other]] for an[[other]] another [[subject]].<ref>{{S8}} p.202</ref>
==The Unconscious is the =Discourse of the Other=== [[Lacan]] argues In arguing that [[speech]] originates not in the [[ego]] or even in the [[subject]] but in the [[Other]]. , [[Lacan]] argues is stressing that [[speech]] and [[language]] are beyond [[conscious]] control. [[Speech]] and [[languagecontrol]] ; they come from an[[other]] place, [[outside]] [[consciousness]]. Hence, and hence "the [[unconscious]] is the [[discourse]] of the [[Other]]."<ref>{{Ec}} p.16</ref> ==Sigmund Freud==In conceiving of the [[Other]] as a [[place]], [[Lacan]] alludes to [[Freud]]'s [[concept ]] of [[psychical locality]], in which the [[unconscious]] is described as "the [[other]] [[scene]]." ==(M)other==It is the [[mother]] who first occupies the [[position]] of the [[big Other]] for the [[child]], because it is she who receives the [[child]]'s primitive cries and [[retroactively]] sanctions them as a particular [[message]]. (see [[punctuation]]).
==Lack in the Other==
It is the [[mother]] who first occupies the [[position]] of the [[big Other]] for the [[child]], because it is she who receives the [[child]]'s [[primitive]] cries and [[retroactively]] sanctions [[them]] as a [[particular]] [[message]]. The [[Castration Complexcastration complex]] is formed when the [[child]] discovers that this [[Other]] is not [[complete]], that there is a [[lack]] in the [[Other]]. In other [[words]], there is always a [[signifier]] [[missing ]] from the treasury of [[signifier]]s constituted by the [[Other]]. The [[mythical]] complete [[Other]] (written '''A''' in [[Lacan]]ian [[algebra]]) does not [[exist]]. In 1957 [[Lacan]] illustrates this incomplete [[Other]] graphically by striking a [[bar]] through the [[symbol]] '''<strike>A</strike>'''. Hence another [[name ]] for the [[castrated]], incomplete [[Other]] is the ''[[barred]] [[Other]]. ==The Other Sex==The Other is also 'the Other sex' (S20, 40). The [[Other]] [[sex]] is always [[Woman]], for both [[male]] and [[female]] [[subjects]].
===The Other Sex===The Other is also "the Other sex."<ref>{{S20}} p. 40</ref> The [[Other]] [[sex]] is always [[woman]], for both [[male]] and [[female]] [[subjects]]. <blockquote>"[[Man]] here [[acts ]] as the relay whereby the [[Womanwoman]] becomes this Other for herself as she is this [[Other]] for him."<ref>{{Ec}} p.732</ref></blockquote>
