In addition to these functions, the bar can also be interpreted as the symbolic phallus (which itself is never barred), as the symbol of negation in theformulae of sexuation (see SEXUAL DIFFERENCE), and as the trait unaire (see IDENTIFICATION).
{{Encore}} pp. 33-34 <blockquote>Anyway, between the two, '''S''' and ''s'', there is a bar, S/''s''.[...]The [[Category:Lacanbar]], like everything involving what is written, is based only on the following - what is written is not to be understood.<BR>That is why you are not obliged to understand my writings. If you don't understand them, so much the better - that will give you the opportunity to explain them.<BR>It's the same with the [[bar]]. The [[bar]] is precisely the point at which, in every use of language, writing (''écrit'') may be produced. If, in [[Saussure]]'s work itself, S is above ''s'', that is, over the [[bar]], it is because the effects of the [[Category:Termsunconscious]]have no basis without this [[bar]] - that is what I was able to show you in "[[The Instance of the Letter]]," included in my ''[[Écrits]]'', in a way that is written (''qui s'écrit''), nothing more.<BR>Indeed, were it not for this [[Category:Conceptsbar]]nothing about [[language]] could be explained by [[linguistics]]. Were it not for this bar above which there are signifiers that pass, you could not see that [[signifiers]] are injected into the [[Category:Psychoanalysissignified]]</blockquote>
