The term [[matheme|mathème]] is a concept introduced in neologism which [[Lacan]] derives from the [[{{LB}}word]] "[[mathematics]], presumably by analogy with the term ''[[mytheme]]'' (a term coined by [[Claude Lévi-Strauss]] to denote the basic constituents of [[myth]]ological [[system]]s).<ref>[[Claude Lévi-Strauss|workLévi-Strauss, Claude]]. 1955.</ref> The [[matheme]] s are part of [[Jacques Lacanalgebra|Lacanian algebra]].
<!-- The [[matheme]] is a [[concept]] introduced in the [[{{LB}}|work]] of [[Jacques Lacan]]. The "[[matheme]]" is a neologism coined by [[Jacques Lacan]] in the early 1970s.

It is not used in conventional [[mathematics]], but is part of [[Lacan]]'s [[algebra]]. -->

The stakes of the mathème are many. After the fundamental stake, which has to do with the aim of the cure, there is teaching, as my first allusions to the mathème and its definitions make clear; then there is a [[political]] stake and a [[clinical]] one.
If the only valuable teaching is the one that can be transcribed into a mathème, then the teacher's [[role]] is reduced to the ultimate: to transmit an elaboration without having anything to do with it. The consequence is the same with all writing: Scilicet, the journal where 'The Twit' ('L'Étourdit') was first published is — except for Lacan's [[texts]] — a collection of unsigned articles after Bourbaki's style of presentation, Bourbaki being one of the collective and anonymous mathematical writers of the [[time]]. As J. C. Milner points out in his book on Lacan, the [[master]]'s figure [[disappears]] with the mathèmes: we are left with professors.
If one takes Lacan's topology and mathèmes seriously, the clinical [[scene]] changes too. That which makes the symbolic ensnare and bump into the impossible of the real becomes clearer in the light of what Lacan called the topology of signifiers, which taps in the general topology of kinship between signifiers, a topology which, according to Lacan, is budding, if not [[born]], in Freud's '[[Project]]' (Esquisse, see [[Ornicar]]? 36). Inasmuch as it can be separated from the [[clinic]] of signifiers, the clinic of the [[object]] is spotted in, by, and through, the topology of surfaces, just as Lacan shows in 'The Twit' and in some of his later [[seminars]].
Later, J. A. Miller took up the clinical stake. He focused on interpretation. There is a trace of this concern in Revue de la cause Freudienne, No. 34. The classical interpretation that focused on [[meaning]] is no longer convincing; we are witnessing what S. Cottet would describe as 'the decline of interpretation'. This led J. A. Miller to devise a conception of interpretation aiming at the level of the Real where 'it is loving it' (ça jouit) rather than at the level where 'it speaks' (ça parle). If the analytical interpretation is that through which the Real is asserting itself, then interpretation is a matter of formalization — supposing that the mathematical formalization is the only one that can reach the Real. This is what Lacan explores (1996, p. 18).
