==Jacques Lacan==

[[Lacan]] used the concept or [[image]] of the [[borromean knot|knot]] quite frequently. References to [[knot]]s can be found in [[Lacan]]'s [[Works of Jacques Lacan|work]] as early as the 1950s,<ref> {{E}} p. 281</ref> but it is not until the ealy 1970s that [[Lacan]] begins to examine [[knot]]s from the point of view of their [[topology|topological properties]]. In the mid-1970s he tried to theorize the interrelation of the [[Symbolic]], the [[Imaginary]] and the [[Real]] in terms of the [[topology]] of [[borromean knot|knots]].

==Knot==

In this late period of his work, one kind of [[knot]] comes to interest [[Lacan]] more than any other: the [[Borromean knot]]. The [[Borromean knot]] -- shown to the right -- so called because the [[List of Figures|figure]] is found on the coat of arms of the Borromeo family, is a group of three rings which are linked in such a way that if any one of them is severed, all three become separated.<ref>{{S20}} p. 112</ref>
