The [[graph of desire]] is a [[topology|topological model]] of the [[structure]] of [[desire]].
==History==[[Jacques Lacan]] began to develop the [[graph of desire]] in his [[{{Y}}|1957]]-[[{{Y}}|58]] [[seminar]], ''[[Seminar V|Les formations de l'inconscient]]''.<ref>[[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]]. ''[[Seminar V|Les formations de l'inconscient]]''. [[Seminar V|The Formations of the Unconscious]]. [[{{Y}}|1957]]-[[{{Y}}|58]]</ref> The [[graph of desire]] is a reappears in some of the following [[seminar]]s in various forms, although the most well known [[topology|topographical representationform]] of it appears in "[[The Subversion of the Subject and the Dialectic of Desire in the Freudian Unconscious]]."<ref>[[structureJacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]] . "[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Subversion du sujet et dialectique du désir dans l'inconscient freudien]]." ''[[Écrits]]''. [[Paris]]: Seuil, 1966. p.793-827. "[[The subversion of the subject and the dialectic of desirein the Freudian unconscious]]." [[Ecrits: A Selection]]. Trans. Alan [[Sheridan]]. [[Bruce Fink]]. [[London]]: Tavistock. 1977. New York: W. W. Norton. 2004. p.292-325</ref>
==Four Stages==In this paper, [[Lacan]] first develops builds up the [[graph of desire]] in four [[Seminar V|the seminar of 1957-8]] in order to illustrate the [[psychoanalytic theory]] of [[jokestages]]s.<ref></ref>
===Elementary Cell===The first of these stages in the "[[graph of desire|graphelementary cell]] reappears in some " of the following [[seminars]], but then all but disappears from [[Lacan]]'s [[Works graph of Jacques Lacandesire|workgraph]].<ref>{{E}} p.303</ref>
The horizontal line represents the [[graph of desire|graphdiachronic]] [[signifying chain]] appears in various forms, although ; the horseshoe-shaped line represents the most well known form vector of it appears in "the [[The suversion of the subject and the dialectic of desire]]'s [[intention]]ality."<ref></ref>
The first [[linguistic|prelinguistic]] [[mythical]] [[subject]] of pure [[need]], indicated by the [[triangle]], must [[pass]] through the defiles of these the [[signifier]] which produces the [[divided]] [[subject]], '''$'''. ===Intermediate Stages===The intermediate stages of the [[graph of desire]] are not meant to show any [[progress|evolution]] or [[development|temporal development]], since the [[graph of desire|graph]] always [[exists]] as a [[whole]]; they are simply pedagogical devices used by [[Lacan]] in [[order]] to illustrate the "elementary cell" [[structure]] of the [[graph of desire|complete graph]].<ref>{{E}} p.303315</ref> Nevertheless, [[Lacan]] never intended to describe the genetic stages of a [[biological]] [[development]]. Rather, it represents the "[[logical]] moments" of the [[birth]] of a [[speaking]] [[subject]]. ===Complete Graph=== In the [[completed graph]] there are not one but two [[signifying chain]]s. The lower [[chain]] (from the [[signifier]] to the [[voice]]) is the [[conscious]] [[signifying chain]], the level of the [[statement]]. The upper [[chain]] (from ''[[jouissance]]'' to [[castration]]) is the [[signifying chain]] in the [[unconscious]], the level of the [[enunciation]]. The [[structure]] is thus duplicated: the upper part of the [[graph]] is [[structured]] exactly like the lower part. ==See Also=={{See}}* [[Desire]]* ''[[Point de capiton]]''||* [[Signifier]]* [[Signifying Chain]]||* [[Structure]]* [[Subject]]||* [[Unconscious]]* [[Topology]]{{Also}} ==References==<div style="font-size:11px" class="references-small"><references/></div> |-|} |style="width:200px;background-color:#ffffff;vertical-align:top;color:#000"|{| cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" style="text-align:justify;vertical-align:top;background-color:#ffffff"|-|style="color:#000;line-height:2em;width:100%;";| {| align="[[right]]" style="line-height:2.0em;margin-left:10px;text-align:right;background-color:#fcfcfc;border:1px solid #aaa" | [[French]]: ''[[graphe du désir]] |} [[Image:GRAPHOFDESIRE-ONE.jpg||thumb|]][[Image:GRAPHOFDESIRE-TWO.jpg|thumb|]][[Image:Vector2.jpg|thumb|]][[Image:Goodwill.jpg|thumb|]] |-|}<!-- Start of right-column -->|} [[Category:Psychoanalysis]][[Category:Jacques Lacan]][[Category:Dictionary]][[Category:Concepts]][[Category:Terms]]
