Changes

=====Jacques Lacan==========Early Work==========Speech=====When [[Lacan]] begins -- in 1953 -- to analyze in detail the function of [[speech]] in [[psychoanalysis]], he emphasizes that [[speech]] is essentially an [[intersubjective]] [[process]].

<blockquote>"The allocution of the [[subject]] entails an allocutor" and therefore "the locutor is constituted in it as [[intersubjectivity]]."<ref>{{E}} p.49</ref></blockquote>

=====Language=====The term '"[[intersubjectivity]]" thus possesses, at this point in [[Lacan]]' s [[work]], a positive [[value]], since it draws attention to the importance of [[language]] in [[psychoanalysis]] and emphasizes the fact that the [[unconscious]] is "[[intersubjectivity|transindividual]]."

=====Psychoanalysis=====[[Psychoanalysis]] is thus to be conceived in [[intersubjectivity|intersubjective]] rather than intrasubjective [[terms]].

By ===Later Work========Reciprocity and Symmetry=====However, by 1960 the term '"[[intersubjectivity]]' " has come to acquire [[negative ]] connotations for [[Lacan]].

It is now associated, not with [[speech]] as such, but with the notions of reciprocity and symmetry that characterize the [[dual relationship]];<ref>{{S8}} p.20</ref> that is, with the [[imaginary]] rather than with the [[symbolic]].

=====Psychoanalysis=====[[Psychoanalysis]] is no longer to be conceived of in terms of [[intersubjectivity]].<ref>{{S8}} p.20</ref>

=====Transference=====Indeed, the [[experience ]] of [[transference]] is precisely what undermines the [[notion ]] of [[intersubjectivity]].<ref>{{L}} (1967) "[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Proposition du 9 octubre 1967 sur le psychanalyste de l'École]]," ''[[Scilicet]]'', no. 19671 ([[1968]]) pp. 14-30</ref>

'''Intersubjectivity''' refers to the "common sense," shared [[meanings]] constructed by people in their interactions with each other and used as an everyday resource to [[interpret]] the [[meaning]] of elements of [[social]] and [[cultural]] [[life]]. ==See Also=={{See}}The * [[FrenchCommunication]] [[philopsopher]] [[Jean-Paul Sartre]] argued that in making choices in life we effectively make choices for all [[human]]s as what is chosen is always the better choice, and what is better for one is better for all. This is also called '* [[intersubjectivityDual relation]]'.||For [[Lacan]], the [[analytic]] experience is a dialogue on the [[symbolic]] place of [[full]] [[speech]], an interaction between two [[subjective]] * [[desireImaginary]]s. The [[intersubjective]] relationship between the * [[analysandLanguage]] and the [[analyst]].||* [[Psychoanalytic]] [[treatmentSpeech]] as a [[symbolic]] interaction between two [[subject]]s. Referring again to [[Freud]]’s explanation of [[transference]] in [[The Interpretation of Dreams]] (1900), [* [Lacan]] reported in the former text that "transference…gave its name to the mainspring of the intersubjective link between analyst and analysand."<ref>Lacan 1977g[1957Symbolic]:170</ref> <blockquote>I am astounded that no-one has ever thought of objecting to me, given certain of the terms of my doctrine, that the transference alone is an objection to intersubjectivity. I even regret it, seeing that nothing is more true: it refutes it, it is its stumbling block.<ref>Lacan 1995b[1967]:4</ref></blockquote>  ==See also==||* [[Intersubjective verifiabilityTransference]]* [[ReproducibilityUnconscious]]{{Also}}
