==Jacques Lacan==
===Symbolic Father===
When the expression "[[Name-of-the-Father|the name of the father]]" first appeared in [[Lacan]]’s [[work]], in the early 1950s, it is without [[capital]] letters and refers generally to the '''legislative''' and '''prohibitive''' function of the "'''[[symbolic]] [[father]]'''" as the one who lays down the [[taboo]] on [[incest]] in the '''[[Oedipus complex]]'''.
The <blockquote>"It is in the '[[nameName-of-the-Father|name of the father]]' that we must recognize the support of the '''symbolic function''' which, from the dawn of [[history]], has [[identified]] his person with '''the [[figure]] of the law'''."<ref>{{E}} p. 67</ref></blockquote> ===Legislative and Prohibitive Function===The rexpression is at once a semi-humorous [[religion|religious]] allusion and a play on the near-homonyms '''''non''''' and '''''nom''''': the '''[[name -of -the-father]]''' ('''''le nom du père''''') is also the [[father]]'s "'''no'''" ('''''le "non" first appears in du père''''') to the [[child]]'s [[incest]]uous '''[[desire]]''' for its '''[[mother]]'''. (the '''[[law|legislative and prohibitive function]]''' of the '''[[symbolic]] [[father]]''') ===Fundamental Signifier===In [[Lacan]]'s 1955-6 [[seminar]], [[The Psychoses]], the expression becomes capitalized and hyphenated and takes on a more precise [[meaning]]; the [[Name-of-the-Father]] is described as the '''[[fundamental signifier]]''' which permits '''[[signification]]''' to proceed normally. The [[Works Name-of Jacques -the-Father]] both confers [[identity]] on [[human]] [[subject]]s (by situating [[them]] in a lineage and the [[symbolic]] [[order]]), and [[signification|signifies]] the '''[[Oedipus complex|Oedipal]] [[law|prohibition]]''', the ''''no'''' of the [[incest]] [[taboo]]. ===Foreclosure===The [[foreclosure]] of this [[fundamental signifier]], or its [[expulsion]] from the [[subject]]'s [[symbolic|symbolic universe]], is said by [[Lacan]] to be the [[mechanism]] that triggers '''[[psychosis]]'''. ===Paternal Metaphor===[[Image:NOTF.gif|thumb|404px|right|The paternal metaphor]]In [[another]] workon [[psychosis]], [[Lacan]] represents the '''[[Oedipus complex]] ''' as a '''[[metaphor]]''' ('''[[paternal metaphor]]'''), in which one [[signifier]] (the [[Name-of-the-Father]]) [[metaphor|substitutes]] another (the [[desire]] of the early 1950s without capital letters[[mother]])==See Also=={{See}}* [[Castration]]* [[Father]]* [[Foreclosure]] ||* [[Law]]* [[Metaphor]] * [[Oedipus complex]]||* [[Paternal metaphor]]* [[Psychosis]] * [[Seminar]]||* [[Signification]]* [[Signifier]] * [[Symbolic]]{{Also}} ==References==<div style="font-size:11px" class="references-small"><references/></div> [[category:Freudian psychology]][[Category:Linguistics]][[Category:Language]][[Category:Symbolic]]{{OK}}__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
