The problem for [[Lacan]] is how does one [[symbolic]]ally [[represent ]] '[[lack]]' - something that by definition is not there?
His solution is the [[idea ]] of the '[[veil]]'.
The [[presence]] of the [[veil]] suggests that there is an [[object]] behind it, which the veil covers over, although this is only a presumption on the part of the [[subject]].
In this way the [[veil]] enables the perpetuation of the idea that the [[object]] [[exist]]s.
Thus, both boys and girls can have a [[relationship ]] to the [[phallus]] on the basis that it always remains veiled and out of reach.
The [[phallus]] provides the vital link between [[desire ]] and [[signification]].
It is desire that [[drives ]] the [[process ]] of [[symbolization]].
The phallus is the ultimate [[object of desire ]] that we have lost and always [[search ]] for but never had in the first [[place]].
