==Speak About LoveSpeech==[[Lacan]] argues that it is [[impossible ]] to [[speech|say ]] anything [[meaning]]ful or [[meaning|sensible]] about [[love]].<ref>{{S8}} p. 57</ref>  Indeed, the moment one starts to [[speech|speak ]] about [[love]], one descends into imbecility.<ref>{{S20}} p. 17</ref>  Given these views, it might seem surprising that [[Lacan]] himself dedicates a great deal of his [[seminar]] precisely to [[specch|speaking ]] about [[love]].  However, in doing so, [[Lacan]] is merely demonstrating what the [[analysand]] does in [[psychoanalytic treatment]], for "the only thing that we do in the [[analytic discourse ]] is [[speech|speak ]] about [[love]]."<ref>{{S20}} p. 77</ref>

[[Love]] is located by [[Lacan]] as a purely [[imaginary ]] phenomenon, although it has effects in the [[symbolic]] [[order]] .<ref>(one of those effects being to produce "a veritable subduction of the symbolic").<ref>{{S1}} p. 142</ref>
