=="Woman Does Not Exist"==
In 1973 the [[bar]] is used to strike through the definite article ''la'' whenever it precedes the noun ''[[woman|femme]]'' ("[[woman]]"), as in [[Lacan]]'s famous phrase ''[[woman|la femme n'existe pas]]'' ("[[woman|woman does not exist]]"). The definite article in [[French]] indicates [[universality]], and by crossing it out [[Lacan]] illustrates his [[thesis]] that [[femininity]] is resistant to all forms of generalisation.<ref>{{S20}} p.68</ref>
==Other Interpretations==
In addition to these functions, the [[bar]] can also be [[interpreted]] as the [[symbolic]] [[phallus]] (which itself is never [[bar]]red), as the [[symbol]] of [[negation]] in the [[formulae of sexuation]] (see [[sexual difference]]), and as the ''[[trait]] [[unaire]]'' (see [[identification]]).
