Discourse of the Capitalist
=====Four Algorithms=====
[[Image:Lacan-fourdiscourselettersLetdis.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Algebra]]ic [[symbol]]s from the [[Four Discourses]]]]
Each of the [[discourse|four discourses]] is represented by an [[matheme|algorithm]] which contains ''four'' [[algebraic]] [[symbol]]s.
The names of these ''four'' [[symbol]]s are shown to the right.
=====Four Symbols=====
The ''four'' [[symbol]]s correspond to ''four'' different [[discourse|positions]] in each [[matheme|algorithm]] of the [[discourse|four discourses]].
Each [[matheme|algorithm]] of the [[discourse|four discourses]] has ''four'' different [[discourse|positions]] with which the ''four'' [[symbol]]s correspond.
=====Four Positions=====The [[discourseImage:Discourse-Structure.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The structure of the four discourses]] are distinguished from one another by the  The [[discourse|positionsposition]] of these the ''four'' [[symbol]]sin each [[matheme|algorithm]] is what distinguishes the [[discourse|four discourses]] from one another.
The [[discourse|four discourses]] are distinguished from one another by the [[discourse|positions]] of these ''four'' [[symbol]]s in each [[matheme|algorithm]].

Each =====Discourse of the Master=====[[discourseImage:Madis.jpg|thumb|right|four discourses[[Discourse]] are defined by of the [[Master]]]]The [[discourse|positions]] of these ''four'' the [[master]] is the basic [[discourse]] from which the other three [symbol[discourse]]sare derived.
The '''dominant position''' is occupied by the [[discourse|four discoursesmaster signifier]] ([[Image:SS1.gif]] are defined by ), which represents the [[discourse|positionssubject]] of these (''four'S' '') for another [[symbolsignifier]]s or, more precisely, for all other [[signifiers]] ([[Image:SS2.gif]]); however, in each this [[mathemesignification|algorithmsignifying operation]] there is always a [[surplus]], namely, ''[[objet petit a]]''.
Each of the [[discourse|four discourses]] The point is that all attempts at totalization are defined by the [[discourse|positions]] of these ''four'' [[symbol]]s in its [[matheme|algorithm]]doomed to failure.
The [[matheme|algorithmdiscourse]]s of the [[discourse|four discoursesmaster]] are distinguished from one another by "masks the [[discourse|positionsdivision]] of these ''four'' the [[symbolsubject]]s."<ref>{{S17}} p. 118</ref>
Each The [[matheme|algorithmdiscourse]] also illustrates clearly the [[structure]] of the [[discourse|four discoursesdialectic]] is distinguished by of the [[discourse|positionsmaster]] of these ''four'' and the [[symbolmaster|slave]]s.
Each The [[master]] ([[Image:SS1.gif]]) is the [[discourse|agent]] is defined by writing who puts the four [[algebraicslave]] ([[Image:SS2.gif]] ) to work; the result of this work is a [[symbolsurplus]]s in (''[[objet (petit) a|a different position]]'') that the [[master]] attempts to appropriate.
=====Discourse of the University=====
[[Image:Unidis.jpg|thumb|right|[[Discourse]] of the [[University]]]]
The [[discourse]] of the [[university]] is produced by a quarter turn of the [[discourse]] of the [[master]] (anticlockwise).
Each [[discourse]] The dominant position is defined occupied by writing the four [[algebraicknowledge]] (''[[symbolsavoir]]s in a different position'').
This illustrates the fact that behind all attempts to impart an apparently "neutral" [[knowledge]] to the [[other]] can always be located an attempt at [[master]]y ([[master]]y of [[knowledge]], and domination of the [[other]] to whom this [[knowledge]] is imparted).
The [[discourse]] of the [[university]] represents the hegemony of [[knowledge]], particularly visible in modernity in the form of the hegemony of [[science]].
=====Discourse of the Hysteric=====
[[Image:Hysdis.jpg|thumb|right|[[Discourse]] of the [[Hysteria|Hysteric]]]]
The [[discourse]] of the [[hysteric]] is also produced by a quarter turn of the [[discourse]] of the [[master]], but in a clockwise direction.
It is not simply "that which is uttered by a hysteric", but a certain kind of [[discourse|social bond]] in which any [[subject]] may be inscribed.
Each The dominant position is occupied by the [[discoursesplit|divided]] has ''four'' [[discourse|positionssubject]], which stand in a fixed relationship to one anotherthe [[symptom]].
There are ''four '' This [[discourse|positions]] in each is that which points the way towards [[discourseknowledge]], which stand in a fixed relationship to one another.<ref>{{S17}} p. 23</ref>
There are [[Psychoanalytic treatment]] involves "the structural introduction of the [[discourse]] of the ''four '' [[discourse|positionshysteric]] ''' by means of artificial conditions"; in other words, the [[mathemeanalyst]] "[[hysteria|algorithmshystericises]] of " the [[patient]]'s [[discourse|four discourses]], each of which is designated by a different name.<ref>{{S17}} p. 35</ref>
=====Four NamesDiscourse of the Analyst=====[[Image:Lacan-structurefourdiscoursesAnadis.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Discourse]] of the [[Analyst]]]]The structure [[discourse]] of the [[analyst]] is produced by a quarter turn of the four discourses[[discourse]]of the [[hysteric]] (in the same way as [[Freud]] developed [[psychoanalysis]] by giving an [[interpretation|interpretative]] turn to the [[discourse]] of his [[hysterical]] [[patient]]s).
The first position (with which each of the [[discourse|agent]] starts) , which is called the position occupied by the [[analyst]] in the [discourse[treatment]], is occupied by ''[[objet (petit) a|agentobjet petit a]]''; this illustrates the fact that the [[analyst]] must, in the course of the [[treatment]], become the [[cause]] of the [[analysand]]'s [[desire]].<ref>{{S17}} p. 41</ref>
The second position fact that this [[discourse]] is called the inverse of the [[discourse|other]]of the [[master]] emphasises that, for [[Lacan]], [[psychoanalysis]] is an essentially subversive practice which undermines all attempts at domination and [[master]]y.
=====Discourse of the Capitalist=====In a few parts of his teaching (notably in his discourse in Milano), Lacan talked about a new kind of discourse which caracterizes our post-modern society: the discourse of the capitalist. The third position of the agent, is occupied by the [[subject]] ('''S'''), who does not address the other, but the truth (this position is called now occupied by the [[master signifier]] ([[Image:SS1.gif]]), the Market). Through the Market, the [[subject]] ('''S''') can ask the [[discourse|productknowledge]] (''[[savoir]]''), ([[Image:SS2.gif]]), Science and Technology to produce objects to be consumed (''[[objet petit a]]''). This objects are made to never feed completely the subject's desire.This discourse is not part of the social bond theory. We notice that, in this discourse (contrary to the four discourses), an arrow hits the position of the truth. With the Discourse of the Capitalist, Lacan tried to account for a new kind of social bonds in which the subject become more and more individualistic, egoistic. The Market is here the new Truth which cannot be contradicted.
The four position is called the ==See Also=={{See}}* [[discourseAlgebra]]* [[Analyst]]* [[Communication]]||* [[Hysteria]]* [[Intersubjectivity]]* [[Knowledge]]||truth* [[Language]]* [[Master]]* [[Matheme]]||* [[Science]]* [[Speech]]* [[Subject]]||* [[Symbol]]* [[Symptom]]* [[Unconscious]].{{Also}}
