==''Split Law''==
How does the [[Real]] of [[violence]] ''persist'' in [[law]], and what is its relation to '''[[law|split law]]'''? How does [[violence]] ''persist'' in [[law]]? What is the relation of this persisting [[violence]] to '''[[law|split law]]'''? How does this '''violence''' ''persist'', and what is its relation to '''split law'''? [[Violence]] persists as [[superego]], that is, as the punishing, powerful, obscene, dead [[father]] killed by the primal horde.
===Surplus===
As a nonintegrated [[surplus]], [[violence]] gives [[law]] the form of an ''[[injunction]]'', rendering [[law]] as that which is to be obeyed.
As [[Zizek]] explains, "The last foundation of the [[Law]]'s authority lies in its process of [[enunciation]]."<ref>{{Z}} "How Did Marx Invent the Symptom?" in ''[[Mapping Ideology]]''. Ed. Slavoj Zizek. Verso: London, 1944. p. 318</ref>
This traumatic, nonintegrated character of [[law]] is a positive condition of [[law]].<ref>{{Z}} "How Did Marx Invent the Symptom?" in ''[[Mapping Ideology]]''. Ed. Slavoj Zizek. Verso: London, 1944. p. 319</ref>
This [[trauma]]tic, [[senseless]] [[injunction]] is also the psychoanalytic notion of the [[superego]].
[[Superego]] issues unconditional commands, telling us what to do, refusing to take no for an answer, refusing even to consider our specific circumstances, needs or desires.
The [[superego]] command is thus more than a simple [[prohibition]]. It is a [[prohibition]] compliance with which produces [[enjoyment]]. When we obey the [[superego]], when we give up our own [[desire]] and comply or follow orders, a part of us, or, more precisely the [[Other]] within us, [[enjoy]]s.
