=====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]].
=====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=====Each [[discourse]] has ''Image:Discourse-Structure.jpg|thumb|250px|right|The structure of the four'' [[discourse|positionsdiscourses]], which stand in a fixed relationship to one another.
There are The [[discourse|position]] of the ''four '' [[discourse|positionssymbol]] s in each [[matheme|algorithm]] is what distinguishes the [[discourse|four discourses]], which stand in a fixed relationship to from one another.
There are ''four '' The [[discourse|positionsfour discourses]] in are distinguished from one another by the [[mathemediscourse|algorithmspositions]] of the these ''four'' [[symbol]]s in each [[discoursematheme|four discoursesalgorithm]], each of which is designated by a different name.
=====Four Names=====Each of the [[Image:Lacan-structurefourdiscourses.jpgdiscourse|thumbfour discourses]] is defined by the [[discourse|250px|right|The structure position]] of the ''four discourses'' [[symbol]]s in its [[matheme|algorithm]].
The first position (with which each [[discourse]] starts) is called names of the ''four'' [[discourse|agentpositions]]are shown to the right.<ref>{{S20}} p.21</ref>
=====Discourse of the Master=====[[Image:Madis.jpg|thumb|right|[[Discourse]] of the [[Master]]]]The second position [[discourse]] of the [[master]] is called the basic [[discourse|]] from which the other[[three]] [[discourse]]s are derived.
The third '''dominant [[position ]]''' is called occupied by the [[discoursemaster signifier]] ([[Image:SS1.gif]]), which represents the [[subject]] ('''S''') for another [[signifier]] or, more precisely, for all other [[signifiers]] ([[Image:SS2.gif]]); however, in this [[signification|productsignifying operation]] there is always a [[surplus]], namely, ''[[objet petit a]]''.
The four position point is called the [[discourse|truth]]that all attempts at totalization are doomed to failure.
The names [[discourse]] of the ''four'' [[discourse|positionsmaster]] "masks the [[division]] of the [[subject]] are shown below."<ref>{{S20S17}} p. 21118</ref>
The [[discourse]] also illustrates clearly the [[structure]] of the [[dialectic]] of the [[master]] and the [[master|slave]].
__NOTOC__The [[master]] ([[Image:SS1.gif]]) is the [[discourse|agent]] who puts the [[slave]] ([[Image:SS2.gif]]) to [[work]]; the result of this work is a [[surplus]] (''[[objet (petit) a|a]]'') that the [[master]] attempts to appropriate. On the gif the right-side S barré is a typo. It must be changed to [[objet]] [[petit a]] (as rightly described.  =====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).  The dominant position is occupied by [[knowledge]] (''[[savoir]]'').  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.  The dominant position is occupied by the [[split|divided]] [[subject]], the [[symptom]].  This [[discourse]] is that which points the way towards [[knowledge]].<ref>{{S17}} p. 23</ref> [[Psychoanalytic treatment]] involves "the [[structural]] introduction of the [[discourse]] of the '''[[hysteric]]''' by means of artificial [[conditions]]"; in other [[words]], the [[analyst]] "[[hysteria|hystericises]]" the [[patient]]'s [[discourse]].<ref>{{S17}} p. 35</ref> =====Discourse of the Analyst=====[[Image:Anadis.jpg|thumb|right|[[Discourse]] of the [[Analyst]]]]The [[discourse]] of the [[analyst]] is produced by a quarter turn of the [[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 position of the [[discourse|agent]], which is the position occupied by the [[analyst]] in the [[treatment]], is occupied by ''[[objet (petit) a|objet 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 fact that this [[discourse]] is the [[inverse]] of the [[discourse]] 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 position of the [[agent]], is occupied by the [[subject]] ('''S'''), who does not address the other, but the [[truth]] (this position is now occupied by the [[master signifier]] ([[Image:SS1.gif]]), the [[Market]]). Through the Market, the [[subject]] ('''S''') can ask the [[knowledge]] (''[[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|the subject]] become more and more individualistic, egoistic. The Market is here the new Truth which cannot be contradicted. ==See Also=={{See}}* [[Algebra]]* [[Analyst]]* [[Communication]]||* [[Hysteria]]* [[Intersubjectivity]]* [[Knowledge]]||* [[Language]]* [[Master]]* [[Matheme]]||* [[Science]]* [[Speech]]* [[Subject]]||* [[Symbol]]* [[Symptom]]* [[Unconscious]]{{Also}} ==References==<div style="font-size:11px" class="references-small"><references /></div> [[Category:Psychoanalysis]][[Category:Jacques Lacan]][[Category:Language]][[Category:Symbolic]][[Category:Linguistics]][[Category:Dictionary]][[Category:Concepts]][[Category:Terms]]{{OK}}
