==The Concept of the Sign==
[[Image:SAUSSUREANALGORITHM.gif|thumb|150px|right|[[Saussurean algorithm|The Saussurean algorithm]]]]
The term "[[bar]]" first appears in [[Lacan]]'s [[work]] in 1957, where it is introduced in the context of a [[discussion]] of [[Ferdinand de Saussure]]'s [[concept]] of the [[sign]].<ref>{{E}} p.149</ref>In this context, the [[bar]] is the line that separates the [[signifier]] from the [[signified]] (in the [[Saussurean algorithm]]), and stands for the [[resistance]] inherent in [[signification]] which is only crossed in [[metaphor]].
===The Concept of the Sign=Barred Subject==Not long after the 1957 paper in which the term first appears, in the [[Image:Lacanseminar]] of 1957-saussureanalgorithm.jpg|200px|right|thumb|8, [[Saussurean algorithm|The Saussurean algorithmLacan]]goes on to use the [[bar]]The term "to strike through his [[baralgebraic]]" first appears in [[Lacansymbol]]s '''S''' and '''A'''s work in 1957, where it is introduced in the context of a discussion manner reminiscent of [[Ferdinand de SaussureHeidegger]]'s concept [[practice]] of crossing out the [[signword]] "[[being]]."<ref>{{E}} p[[Heidegger|Heidegger, Martin]]. (1956) ''The Question of Being'', trans. William Kluback and Jean T. WIlde, [[London]]: [[Vision]], 1959.149</ref>The [[bar]] is used to strike through the '''S''' to produce, [[Image:StrikeS.gif]], the "[[bar|barred subject']]." The [[bar]] here represents the [[division]] of the [[subject]] by [[language]], the [[split]]. Thus whereas before 1957 '''S''' designates the [[subject]] (e.g. in [[schema L]]), from 1957 on '''S''' designates the [[signifier]] and [[Image:StrikeS.gif]] designates the ([[divided]]) [[subject]].
In this context, the ==The Barred Other==The [[bar]] is also used to strike through the line that separates '''A''' (the [[big Other]]) to produce the [[signifieralgebra]] from ic notation for the "[[bar|barred Other]]," <strike>'''A'''</strike>. However, [[Lacan]] continues to use both [[sign]]s in his [[signifiedalgebra]] (e.g. in the [[Saussurean algorithmgraph of desire]]). The [[bar]]red [[Other]] is the [[Other]] insofar as it is [[castration|castrated]], and stands for [[lack|incomplete]], marked by a [[lack]], as opposed to the [[resistancelack|complete]], [[fragmented body|consistent]] inherent in , [[castration|uncastrated]] [[Other]], an [[significationun-barred]] '''A''', which is only crossed in does not [[metaphorexistence|exist]].
===The Barred Subject="Woman Does Not Exist"==Not long after the 1957 paper in which the term first appears, in In 1973 the [[seminar]bar] of 1957-8, [[Lacan]] goes on is used to use strike through the definite article ''la'' whenever it precedes the noun ''[[barwoman|femme]] to strike through his '' ("[[algebraicwoman]] "), as in [[symbolLacan]]'s famous phrase ''[[woman|la femme n'S''' and '''A'existe pas]]'' ("[[woman|woman does not exist]]"). The definite article in a manner reminiscent of [[HeideggerFrench]] indicates [[universality]]'s practice of , and by crossing it out the word "[[beingLacan]] illustrates his [[thesis]]."<ref>that [[Heidegger|Heidegger, Martinfemininity]]. (1956) ''The Question is resistant to all forms of Being'', transgeneralisation. William Kluback and Jean T. WIlde, London: Vision, 1959<ref>{{S20}} p.68</ref>
The ==Other Interpretations==In addition to these functions, the [[bar]] can also be [[interpreted]] as the [[symbolic]] [[phallus]] (which itself is used to strike through never [[bar]]red), as the [[symbol]] of [[negation]] in the [[formulae of sexuation]] (see [[sexual difference]]), and as the '''S''' to produce, [[Image:StrikeS.giftrait]], the "[[bar|barred subjectunaire]]''(see [[identification]])."
The [[bar]] here represents the [[division]] of the [[subject]] by [[language]], the [[split]].  Thus whereas before 1957 '''S''' designates the [[subject]] (e.g. in [[schema L]]), from 1957 on '''S''' designates the [[signifier]] and [[Image:StrikeS.gif]] designates the ([[divided]]) [[subject]].  ===The Barred Other=See Also==The [[bar]] is also used to strike through the '''A''' (the [[big Other]]) to produce the [[algebra]]ic notation for the "[[bar|barred Other]]," '''A'''. However, [[Lacan]] continues to use both [[sign]]s in his [[algebra]] (e.g. in the [[graph of desire]]).  The [[bar]]red [[Other]] is the [[Other]] insofar as it is [[castration|castrated]], [[lack|incomplete]], marked by a [[lack]], as opposed to the [[lack{|complete]], [[fragmented body|consistent]], [[castration|uncastrated]] [[Other]], an [[un-barred]] '''A''', which does not [[existence|exist]]. ==="Woman Does Not Exist"==width=100%In 1973 the [[bar]] is used to strike through the definite article ''la'' whenever it precedes the noun ''[[woman|femme]]'' ("[[woman]]"), as in [[Lacan]]'s famous phrase ''[[woman|la femme n'existe pas]]'' ("[[woman|woman does not exist]]").  The definite article in [[French]] indicates universality, and by crossing it out [[Lacan]] illustrates his thesis that [[femininity]] is resistant to all forms of generalisation.<ref>{{S20}} p.68</ref> ===Other Interpretations===In addition to these functions, the [[bar]] can also be interpreted as the [[symbolic]] [[phallus]] (which itself is never [[bar]]red), as the [[symbol]] of [[negation]] in the [[formulae of sexuation]] (see [[sexual difference]]), and as the ''trait unaire'' (see [[identification]]). ===See Also===
