"==Translation==As Alan Sheridan points out in the short glossary he provides to his translation of [[lureÉcrits]]:<blockquote>" The French word translates variously 'lure' (for hawks, fish), 'decoy' (for birds), 'bait' ([[Fr]]for fish), and the notion of 'allurement' and 'enticement. '"<ref>Sheridan, Alan. "Translator's Note", in {{E}} [[leurre1977]]''). p. xi</ref></blockquote>
As Alan Sheridan points out in ==Animal and Human Lures==[[Human]] [[being]]s are not the short glossary he provides to his translation only [[animal]]s who are capable of Ecrits, "The Frnech word translates variously 'setting [[lure' (for hawks, fish), 'decoy' (for birgs), 'bait' (for fish)]]s, and this fact is sometimes used to argue in favor of the notion [[existence]] of 'allurement' and 'enticement"[[lure|animal consciousness]].'"<ref>Sheridan. 1977. p.xi</ref>
However, [[Lacan]] argues that it is important to distinguish between [[lure|animal lure]]s and [[lure|human lure]]s.
---==Animal Lures==Human beings are not [[Animal]]s can deceive by their camouflage or by "the only animals who are capable of setting luresfeint by which an apparent straggler leads a predator away from the flock, and this fact " but "there is sometimes used to argue nothing even there that transcends the function of lure in favor of the existence service of need."animal consciousness<ref>{{E}} p."172</ref>
However[[Lure|Animal lure]]s are extremely important in mating ceremonies where an [[animal]] must entice another into copulation, Lacan argues that it and this is important todistinguish between naimal lures and also what lends [[human lures]] [[sexuality]] its strong [[imaginary]] element.

===Animal Human Lures===Animals can deceive by their camouflage or by "Whereas [[lure|animal lure]]s are straightforward, the feint by [[human]] [[being]] is unique in being capable of a special kind of [[lure]] which an apparent straggler leads involves a predator away from the flock," but "there is nothing even there that transcends the function of [[lure in the service of need|double deception]]."<ref>{{E}} p.172</ref>
Animal lures are extremely important in mating cereemonies where an animal mus tentice anothe rinto copulation, and this This is also what lends human sexuality its strong imaginary elementa kind of [[lure]] which involves ''deceiving by pretending to deceive'' (i.e. telling a [[truth]] that one expects to be taken for a lie).<ref>{{E}} p. 305</ref>
===Example===The classic example of the properly [[lure|human lure]] is the joke quoted by [[Freud]] (and often cited by [[Lacan]]) about the two Polish Jews: "Sexual behavior is quite especially prone Why do you tell me you are going to Cracow so I'll believe you are going to Lvov, when you are really going to the lure.Cracow?"<ref>{{S1E}} p.123173</ref>
Other [[animal]]s are incapable of this special kind of [[lure]] owing to the fact that they do not possess [[language]].
===Human Lures=== Whereas animal lures are straightforward, the human being is unique in being capable of a special kind of lure which involves a "double deception." This is a kind of lure which involves deceiving by pretending to deceive (i.e. telling a truth that one expects to be taken for a lie).<ref>{{E}} p.305</ref> ---The classic example of the properly human lure is the joke quoted by Freud (and often cited by Lacan) about the two Polish Jews: "Why do you tell me you are going to Cracow so I'll believe you are going to Lvov, when you are really going to Cracow?"<ref>{{E}} p.173</ref> Other animals are incapable of this special kind of lure owing to the fact that they do not possess language. == See Also==* [[Language]]* [[Truth]]
