{{I}}
[[Lacan]]'s concept of the [[Imaginary]] first appeared in his [[{{Y}}|1936]] [[Jacques Lacan:Bibiography|paper]] "[[The Mirror Stage]]".
The [[imaginary]] arises from the [[infant]]'s experience of its [[specular ego]].
It arises with the [[mirror stage]] but extends far into the adult individual's experience of others and of the external world.
