The term "[[discourse]]" is used by [[Lacan]] to emphasize the ''[[intersubjectivity|transindividual nature]]'' [[nature]] of '''[[language]]''', the fact that '''[[speech]]''' always implies another [[subjectanother]], an interlocutor. The '''[[unconscious]]''' is the "[[discourse|discourse of the Other]]", or the effect on the [[subject]] of [[speech]] that is addressed to that [[subject]] from elsewhere, by another [[subject]] (who has been [[memory|forgotten]]), by an [[scene|other scene]] or [[scene|psychic locality]]interlocutor.

He [[identifies ]] ''four'' types of [[discourse|social bonds]], four articulations of the [[symbolic order|symbolic network]] which regulates [[intersubjectivity|intersubjective relations]]. 

=====Four Symbols=====[[Image:Lacan-fourdiscourseletters.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Algebra]]ic The names of these ''four'' [[symbol]]s from are shown to the [[Four Discourses]]right]].

Each of the The ''four'' [[symbol]]s correspond to ''four'' different [[discourse|four discoursespositions]] is represented by an in each [[matheme|algorithm]], each of which contains four the [[algebraicdiscourse|four discourses]] [[symbol]]s.

Each [[matheme|algorithm]] of the [[discourse|four discourses]] is represented by an has ''four'' different [[mathemediscourse|algorithmpositions]] of with which the ''four [[algebraic]] '' [[symbol]]scorrespond.

=====Four Positions=====The '''[[discourse|positions]]''' of these ''four'' '''the [[symbolmaster]]s''' is what distinguishes "masks the [[discourse|four discoursesdivision]] of the [[subject]] from one another."<ref>{{S17}} p. 118</ref>

What distinguishes The [[discourse]] also illustrates clearly the [[discourse|four discoursesstructure]] from one another is of the '''[[discourse|positionsdialectic]]''' of these four '''the [[master]] and the [[symbolmaster|slave]]s'''.

The [[master]] ([[Image:SS1.gif]]) is the [[discourse|four discoursesagent]] who puts the [[slave]] ([[Image:SS2.gif]]) to [[work] are distinguished from one another by ]; the 'result of this work is a [[surplus]] (''[[discourseobjet (petit) a|positionsa]]''' of these four ''') that the [[symbolmaster]]s'''attempts to appropriate.

=====Four PositionsDiscourse of the University=====Each [[Image:Unidis.jpg|thumb|right|[[Discourse]] of the [[University]]]]The [[discourse]] has ''four'' of the [[university]] is produced by a quarter turn of the [[discourse|positions]], which stand in a fixed relationship to one anotherof the [[master]] (anticlockwise).

There are ''four '' The dominant position is occupied by [[discourse|positionsknowledge]] in each (''[[discoursesavoir]], which stand in a fixed relationship to one another'').

There are ''four '' This illustrates the fact that behind all attempts to impart an apparently "neutral" [[discourse|positionsknowledge]] in to the [[algorithmsother]] can always be located an attempt at [[master]] y ([[master]]y of the [[discourse|four discoursesknowledge]], each and domination of which the [[other]] to whom this [[knowledge]] is designated by a different nameimparted).

=====Four Namess=====The [[discourse]] of the [[university]] represents the [[hegemony]] of [[knowledge]], particularly [[visible]] in [[Image:Lacan-structurefourdiscourses.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The structure modernity]] in the [[form]] of the four discourseshegemony of [[science]].

=====Discourse of the Hysteric=====[[Image:Hysdis.jpg|thumb|right|[[Discourse]] of the [[Hysteria|Hysteric]]]]The first position (with which each [[discourse]] starts) of the [[hysteric]] is called also produced by a quarter turn of the [[discourse|agent]]of the [[master]], but in a clockwise direction.

The second position It is called the not simply "that which is uttered by a hysteric", but a certain kind of [[discourse|othersocial bond]] in which any [[subject]]may be inscribed.

The third dominant position is called occupied by the [[discoursesplit|productdivided]] [[subject]], the [[symptom]].

The four position This [[discourse]] is called that which points the way towards [[discourse|truthknowledge]].<ref>{{S17}} p. 23</ref>
