=====Sigmund Freud=====
[[Freud]] uses the term "[[inversion]]" to designate [[homosexuality]], the [[idea ]] [[being ]] that [[homosexuality]] is the [[inverse]] of [[heterosexuality]].
=====Jacques Lacan=====
=====Early Work=====
[[Lacan]] uses the term in this [[sense ]] too in his early works.<ref>{{L}} ''[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Les complexes familiaux dans la formation de l'individu. Essai d'analyse d'une fonction en psychologie]]'', [[Paris]]: Navarin, 1984 (1938). p. 109</ref>
=====Later Work=====
[[Inversion]] then usually refers to a characteristic of the [[specular image]].
What appears on one side of the [[real]] [[body]] appears on the other side of the [[image]] of the [[body]] reflected in the [[mirror]].<ref>{{L}} "[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Some reflections on the ego]]," ''Int. J. [[Psycho]]-[[Anal]]''., vol. 34, 1953 (1951b). p. 15</ref>
=====Imaginary Order=====
=====Schema L=====
Thus in [[schema L]], the [[imaginary]] is represented as a [[barrier ]] blocking the [[discourse]] of the [[Other]], causing this [[discourse]] to arrive at the [[subject]] ''in an inverted [[form]]''.
=====Analytic Communication=====
=====Leonardo da Vinci=====
In 1957, both senses of the term are brought together in [[Lacan]]'s [[discussion ]] of [[Leonardo da Vinci]].
Taking up [[Freud]]'s argument [[about ]] [[Leonardo]]'s [[homosexuality]].<ref>{{F}} (1910c.) ''[[Works of Sigmund Freud|Leonardo da Vinci and a Memory of his Childhood]]'', [[SE]] XI, p. 59.</ref>
[[Lacan]] goes on to argue that [[Leonardo]]'s [[specular]] [[identification]] was highly unusual in that it resulted in an [[inversion]] of the positions (on [[schema L]]) of the [[ego]] and the [[little other]].<ref>{{S4}} p. 433-4</ref>
