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.
