Welcome to No Subject, a free online encylopedia for information related to Lacanian psychoanalysis.

It is a community-driven project to which users are invited to contribute in a collaborative manner.

In addition, the information on the site is organized in the form of a hypertext, a cross-referential database with non-linear navigational structure.

The information on the site is continuously updated and organized in a non-linear structure as a cross-referential hypertext.

In addition, the site is organized as a hypertext database, with a non-linear navigational structure, in which each text is cross-referenced to a number of related texts.

Such a "prevalence of the text," in Lacan's words, "makes possible the kind of tightening up [that] leaves the reader no other way out than the way in."[1]

The aim of the site is to provide an accessible "way in."
