The short glossary below is not intended to provide adequate definitions of concepts. To do so would be quite alien to the nature of Lacan's work, which is peculiarly resistant to interpretation of a static, defining kind.  Though rooted in Freudian psychoanalysis, Lacan's concepts have evolved over the years to meet the requirements of a constant reformulation of psychoanalytic theory. They are best understood, therefore, operationally, at work in a number of different contexts. However, some of the terms do call for comment, if only by way of introduction.  [...] In certain cases, however, Lacan has preferred that a term be left entirely unglossed, on the grounds that any comment would prejudice its effective operation.

The Borromean knot

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

It is written collaboratively by an active and growing community of users.

We have 4,366 pages about psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic theory, Sigmund Freud, Jacques Lacan, Slavoj Zizek and related ideas.

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

This "prevalence of the text ... makes possible the kind of tightening up" that for Jacques Lacan "leaves the reader no other way out than the way in."[1]

No Subject is concerned only with providing this "way in".

Please visit the Community Portal to get involved or the help page to learn more about the site. Feel free to ask questions in the forum.


No Subject is a free encyclopedia of Lacanian psychoanalysis that was inaugurated during the summer of 2006 by Mark Olynciw, and is the product of an active and growing community of users.

As of December 2006, there were 2,602 articles within the No Subject wiki.
