==Translation==
The [[French]] [[word ]] translates variously "lure" (for hawks, fish), "decoy" (for birds), bait (for fish) and the [[notion ]] of "allurement" and "enticement".
In [[Lacan]], the notion is related to "''[[méconnaissance]]''".
As Alan [[Sheridan ]] points out in the short [[glossary ]] he provides to his [[translation ]] of [[Écrits]]:
<blockquote>"The French word translates variously 'lure' (for hawks, fish), 'decoy' (for birds), 'bait' (for fish), and the notion of 'allurement' and 'enticement.'"<ref>Sheridan, Alan. "Translator's Note", in {{E}} [1977]. p. xi</ref></blockquote>
==Animal Lures==
[[Animal]]s can deceive by their camouflage or by "the feint by which an [[apparent ]] straggler leads a predator away from the flock," but "there is [[nothing ]] even there that transcends the function of lure in the service of [[need]]."<ref>{{E}} p. 172</ref>
[[Lure|Animal lure]]s are extremely important in mating ceremonies where an [[animal]] must entice [[another ]] into copulation, and this is also what lends [[human]] [[sexuality]] its strong [[imaginary]] element.
<blockquote>"[[Sexual ]] [[behavior ]] is quite especially prone to the lure."<ref>{{S1}} p. 123</ref></blockquote>
==Human Lures==
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>
Or, A person that is bullied and/or mistreated by peers or tribal members so that that person becomes [[self]]-destructive to the point where the [[human lure]] purposely attracts the attention of predators so he or she will be killed and eaten for the [[purpose]] of feeding and filling the lion with meat from a [[social]] outcast, instead of meat from the most vulnerable to a lion's attack, the tribe's [[children]].
===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]]: "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 ]] [[animal]]s are incapable of this special kind of [[lure]] owing to the fact that they do not possess [[language]].
