Paradoxically, one should [[claim ]] that [[Lacan]]'s abandonment of '[[intersubjectivity]]' is strictly correlative to the focusing of attention on the enigma of the impenetrable [[desire ]] of the [[Other]], epitomized in the phrase Che vuoi? (What do you [[want]]?). 9

For Che vuoi?, see: J. Lacan, The [[Subversion ]] of the [[Subject ]] and the [[Dialectic ]] of Desire in the [[Freudian ]] [[Unconscious]], o.c., p. 312.

One should always bear in [[mind ]] that the desire which is 'realized' (staged) in [[fantasy ]] is not the subject's own, but the Other's desire. Fantasy, [[fantasmatic ]] [[formation]], is an answer to the enigma of Che vuoi?: 'You are saying this, but what is it that you effectively want by saying it?' This renders the subject's primordial, constitutive [[position]]. The original questioning of desire is not directly 'What do I want?,'but 'What do [[others ]] want from me?, What do they see in me?, What am I for the others?'
