[[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]].
