==ReferencesOrigin of the Term==The [[French]] substantive ''[[captation]]'' is a neologism coined by [[French]] [[psychoanalysts]] from the verb ''[[captation|capter]]''.<ref>Édouard Pichon and Odile Codet<references/ref> ==Jacques Lacan==It was adopted by [[Jacques Lacan]] in [[1948]] and occurs regularly in his [[work]] from this point on. ==Imaginary Effects of the Specular Image==[[Lacan]] uses the term ''[[captation]]'' to describe the [[imaginary]] effects of the [[specular image]] on the [[subject]].<ref>{{E}} p. 18</ref> The [[double]] [[sense]] of the [[French]] term nicely indicates the ambiguous [[nature]] of the [[power]] of the [[specular image]]:
* On the one hand, it conveys the sense of "[[captivation]]," thus expressing the fascinating, [[seduction|seductive power]] of the [[image]].
* On the [[other]] hand, the term also conveys the [[idea]] of "[[capture]]," which evokes the more sinister power of the [[image]] to imprison the [[subject]] in a disabling [[fixation]].
