"[[Absence]]"
==Word==
[[Lacan]] notes that the [[symbol]] -- or [[word]] -- is "a [['''presence]] ''' made of [[absence]]" because:
# the [[symbol]] is used in the [[absence]] of the [[thing]] and
# [[signifiers]] only exist insofar as they are opposed to other [[signifiers]].<ref>{{E}} p.65</ref>
