(This was an extraordinarily innovative period for Lacan and he introduced many of the concepts that would preoccupy him for the rest of his career.)
=====Structuralism=====
[[Lacan]] drew on a field of study known as '''[[Structuralism]]''' and on '''[[linguistics|linguistic theory]]'''.
[[Lévi-Strauss]]'s [[structuralism|structural anthropology]] was facilitated by the work of the Swiss [[linguistics|linguist]] [[Ferdinand de Saussure]] (1857-1913) and it was through [[Lévi-Strauss]] that [[Lacan]] began to read [[linguistics]].
Finally, we will look at the Russian [[linguistics|linguist]] [[Roman Jakobson]]'s (1896-1982) work on [[metaphor]] and [[metonymy]], as this was crucially important for [[Lacan]]'s conceptualization of [[desire]].
