==Jacques Lacan==
This [[notion]] of the "[[counterpart|specular ego]]" was first developed in the essay, "[[The Mirror Stage]]".
The term "[[counterpart]]" plays an important part in the [[intrusion complex]] and in the [[Lacanmirror stage]]'s (which are themselves closely related. ==Intrusion Complex==The [[Works intrusion complex]] is one of Jacques the [[three]] "[[family]] [[complex|complexes]]" which [[Lacan|work]] from discusses in his 1938 article on the 1930s on[[family]], and designates arises when the [[child]] first realizes that he has siblings, that other people [[subject]]s ''like him'' participate in whom the [[subjectfamily]] [[structure]] perceives a . The emphasis here is on likeness to himself ; the [[child]] [[identification|identifies]] with his siblings on the basis of the [[recognition]] of [[bodily]] similarity (principally which depends, of course, on their [[being]] a visual likenessrelatively small age [[difference]] between the [[subject]] and his siblings).
=="Imago of the Counterpart"==It is this [[identification]] that gives rise to the "[[counterpart|imago of the counterpart]]."<ref>{{L}} ''[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Les complexes familiaux dans la formation de l'individu. Essai d'analyse d'une fonction en psychologie]]'', [[Paris]]: Navarin, 1984. p. 35-9</ref> The [[imago]] of the [[counterpart]] plays an important part in is interchangeable with the [[image]] of the [[subject]]'s own [[body]], the [[specular image]] with which the [[intrusion complexsubject]] [[identifies]] and in the [[mirror stage]] (which are themselves closely related, leading to the [[formation]] of the [[ego]]. ==Formation of the Ego==This interchangeability is evident in such phenomena as [[transitivism]], and illustrates the way that the [[subject]] constitutes his [[object]]s on the basis of his [[ego]]. The [[image]] of [[another]] person's [[body]] can only be [[identified]] with insofar as it is perceived as similar to one's own [[body]], and conversely the [[counterpart]] is only recognised as a [[separate]], [[identifiable]] [[ego]] by [[projection|projecting]] one's own [[ego]] onto him. =="Littler Other"==In 1955 [[Lacan]] introduces a [[distinction]] between the "[[big Other]]" and the "[[little other]]" -- or the "[[imaginary other]]" -- reserving the latter term for the [[counterpart]] and/or [[specular image]]. The [[counterpart]] is the [[little other]] because it is not truly [[other]] at all; it is not the radical [[alterity]] represented by the [[Other]], but the [[other]] insofar as he is similar to the [[ego]]. ==See Also=={{See}}* [[Complex]]* [[Ego]]||* [[Identification]]* [[Imago]]||* [[Mirror stage]]* [[Other]]||* [[Projection]]* [[Specular image]]||* [[Structure]]* [[Subject]]{{Also}} ==References==<div style="font-size:11px" class="references-small"><references/></div> [[Category:Psychoanalysis]][[Category:Jacques Lacan]][[Category:Dictionary]][[Category:Imaginary]][[Category:Concepts]][[Category:Terms]]{{OK}} __NOTOC__
