"Pleasure"
=="Pleasure"==
In 1960 [[Lacan]] develops an opposition between ''[[jouissance]]'' and ''[[pleasure]]'' ("''[[plaisir]]''").  "[[Pleasure]]" obeys the [[law]] of '''homeostasis'' that [[Freud]] evokes in ''[[Beyond the Pleasure Principle]]'', whereby, through discharge, the psyche seeks the lowest possible level of tension.  The [[pleasure principle]] thus functions as a limit imposed on [[enjoyment]]; it commands the [[subject]] to "enjoy as little as possible."  "''[[Jouissance]]''" transgresses this [[law]] and, in that respect, it is ''beyond'' the [[pleasure principle]].
