Logic of Sexuation
==Logic of Sexuation==
In the seminar ''[[Encore]]'', Lacan proposed what he called "formulas of sexuation" to set down the basic structures of male and female sexuality.
In his book ''Totem and Taboo'', Freud had argued that at the mythic origin of society lay a primal horde, in which a jealous and greedy father enjoyed all the women.
His sons were deprived In the [[seminar]] ''[[Encore]]'', [[Lacan]] proposed what he called "[[formulas of all intercourse with them.And so they rebelled and murdered their father to gain acess sexuation]]" to set down the women.But then, in remorse, the sons forbade themselves the very women they had murdered forbasic structures of [[male]] and [[female]] [[sexuality]].
According to ===Sigmund Freud===In his book ''[[Totem and Tabo]]o'', [[Freud]] had argued that at the first law [[myth]]ic [[origin]] of [[society was thus imposed by the sons on themselves as ]] lay a [[primal horde]], in which a result of their love [[jealous]] and remorse for their murdered [[greed]]y [[father]] enjoyed all the [[women]].
If this law is understood as a prohibition His sons were deprived of ''jouissance''all intercourse with them.And so they rebelled and murdered their [[father]] to gain acess to the [[women]].But then, it is basedin remorse, at its origin, on a ''jouissance'' which is obsene, pervse and unregulated - that of the primal fathersons forbade themselves the very [[women]] they had murdered for.
According to [[Freud]], the first [[law]] of [[society]] was thus imposed by the sons on themselves as a result of their [[love]] and remorse for their murdered [[father]].
If this [[law]] is understood as a [[prohibition]] of ''[[jouissance]]'', it is based, at its [[origin]], on a ''[[jouissance]]'' which is [[obscene]], [[perverse]] and unregulated - that of the [[primal]] [[father]].
===Jacques Lacan ==[[Lacan]] argues that the [[law ]] of [[prohibition ]] always supposes at its horizon an [[exception]], someone who escapes the [[law]].If all [[men ]] are subject to a [[law]], one [[man ]] escapes.
This [[structure ]] of constitutive of [[male ]] [[sexuality]].If all males [[male]]s are subject to [[prohibition]], there is at least one who escapes.
If [[Freud]]'s story in ''[[Totem and Taboo]]'' was a [[myth]], [[Lacan ]] tries to extract a logical [[structure ]] from it and he gives notation for the [[sexuality]].
