=====Discourse of the Other=====
The term "[[discourse]]" is used by [[Lacan]] to emphasize the ''[[intersubjectivity|transindividual]]'' [[nature ]] of '''[[language]]''', the fact that '''[[speech]]''' always implies [[another ]] [[subject]], an interlocutor.
The '''[[unconscious]]''' is the "[[discourse|discourse of the Other]]", 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]].
In 1969, [[Lacan]] begins to use the term "[[discourse]]" to denote a "[[discourse|social bond]], founded in [[language]]."
He [[identifies ]] ''four'' types of [[discourse|social bonds]], four articulations of the [[symbolic order|symbolic network]] which regulates [[intersubjectivity|intersubjective relations]].
=====Four Discourses=====
=====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]].
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 NamesDiscourse of the Master=====[[Image:Lacan-structurefourdiscoursesMadis.jpg|thumb|250px|right|[[Discourse]] of the [[Master]]]]The structure [[discourse]] of the four discourses[[master]] is the basic [[discourse]] from which the other [[three]][[discourse]]s are derived.
The first '''dominant [[position ]]''' is occupied by the [[master signifier]] (with [[Image:SS1.gif]]), which each represents the [[subject]] ('''S''') for another [[signifier]] or, more precisely, for all other [[discoursesignifiers]] ([[Image:SS2.gif]] starts) ; however, in this [[signification|signifying operation]] there is called the always a [[surplus]], namely, ''[[discourse|agentobjet petit a]]''.
The second position point is called the [[discourse|other]]that all attempts at totalization are doomed to failure.
The third position is called [[discourse]] of the [[discourse|productmaster]] "masks the [[division]] of the [[subject]]."<ref>{{S17}} p. 118</ref>
The four position is called [[discourse]] also illustrates clearly the [[discoursestructure]] of the [[dialectic]] of the [[master]] and the [[master|truthslave]].
The names [[master]] ([[Image:SS1.gif]]) is the [[discourse|agent]] who puts the [[slave]] ([[Image:SS2.gif]]) to [[work]]; the result of the this work is a [[surplus]] (''four[[objet (petit) a|a]]'' ) that the [[discourse|positionsmaster]] are shown below.<ref>{{S20}} pattempts to appropriate. 21</ref>
On the gif the right-side S barré is a typo. It must be changed to [[objet]] [[petit a]] (as rightly described.
