MEMORIESFor psychoanalysis, memories are conscious representations of the past suspected of being, at least in part, illusory. The fact is that conscious memories or recollections may conceal unconscious ones, even if the ego accepts them at face value and finds comfort therein. In his early work Freud spoke of "unconscious memories," but he later replaced this term with "memory traces.{{Top}}mémoire{{Bottom}}
In Freud==Jacques Lacan==The term "[[memory]]" is used in two different ways in [[Lacan]]'s initial [[Works of Jacques Lacan|work on the theory of neuroses (1894-96), "memories were pathogenic reminiscences of traumatic seduction; subsequently the memories of..]].
MEMORY==Symbolic Order==If one views memory as In the ability to retain and recall past states of consciousness1950s, then psychoanalysis has played a considerable role in its delineation. But in terms of [[memory theory considered more broadly, its significance ]] is much more modest. Freud approached memory from three perspectives. In terms [[understood]] as a phenomenon of neurology, his contributions were original but limited. From the standpoint of psychology[[symbolic order]], he added related to the pre-existing framework. Finally, in creating the psychoanalytic perspective, Freud essentially reworked views that had been..[[signifying chain]].
==Recollection==
It is related to the [[concepts]] of [[remembering]] and [[recollection]], and opposed to [[imaginary]] [[reminiscence]].
==Biology and Psychology==
[[Lacan]] makes it clear that his [[concept]] of [[memory]] is not a [[biological]] or [[psychology|psychological]] one.
 
<blockquote>"The memory which interests psychoanalysis is quite distinct from what psychologists [[speak]] of when they display its [[mechanism]] to us in an animate [[being]] in an experiment."<ref>{{S3}} p.152</ref></blockquote>
 
==Symbolic History of the Subject==
For [[psychoanalysis]], [[memory]] is the [[symbolic]] [[history]] of the [[subject]], a [[chain]] of [[signifier]]s linked up together, a "signifying articulation."<ref>{{S7}} p.223</ref>
 
Something is [[memory|memorable]] and [[memory|memorized]] only when it is "registered in the signifying chain."<ref>{{S7}} p. 212</ref>
 
In this [[sense]], the [[unconscious]] is a sort of [[memory]],<ref>{{S3}} p. 155</ref> since "what we teach the subject to recognize as his unconscious is his history."<ref>{{E}} p. 52</ref>
 
==Psychoanalysis==
The phenomena associated with [[memory]] which most interest the [[analyst]] are those moments when something goes wrong with [[memory]], when the [[subject]] cannot [[recollection|recall]] a part of his [[history]].
 
It is the fact that he can forget, that a [[signifier]] can be elided from the [[signifying chain]], that makes the [[psychoanalytic]] [[subject]] distinctive.<ref>{{S7}} p.224</ref>
 
==Biology and Psychology==
In the 1960s [[Lacan]] reserves the term "[[memory]]" for the [[biological]] or [[physiological]] concept of [[memory]] as an [[organic]] property.<ref>{{Ec}} p. 42</ref>
 
It thus no longer designates the [[symbolic]] [[history]] of the [[subject]] which is the concern of [[psychoanalysis]], but something which lies [[outside]] [[psychoanalysis]] altogether.
