Lacan also uses another term, 'fading', in a way that makes it synonymous with the term aphanisis.  Fading (a term which Lacan uses directly in English) refers to the disappearance of the subject in the process of [[alienation]].  The term is used by Lacan when describing the [[mathemes]] of the [[drive]] and of [[fantasy]]: the [[subject]] 'fades' or 'disappears' in the face of [[demand]] and in the face of the [[object]], as is shown by the fact that the subject is barred in these mathemes.__NOTOC__
