{{Topp}}Nom-du-Père{{Bottom}}
==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 [[Frcapital]]. 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 '''[[Nom-du-PèreOedipus complex]]'')'.
<blockquote>"It is in the '[[Name-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 expression "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 " when it first appeared in Lacan’s work, in the early 1950s, referred generally non" du père''''') to the "[[prohibition|prohibitive rolechild]]'s [[incest]]" of the "uous '''[[symbolicdesire]] ''' for its '''[[fathermother]]" as the one who lays down '''. (the '''[[incestlaw|legislative and prohibitive function]] ''' of the '''[[taboosymbolic]] in the [[Pedipus complexfather]].''')
The [[Name-of-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]].
===Paternal Metaphor===
[[Image:NOTF.gif|thumb|404px|right|The paternal metaphor]]
In [[another]] work on [[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 [[mother]]).
==References==<div style="font-size:11px" class="references--small"><references/></div> A few years later, in the seminar on the psychoses, the expression becomes capitalized and hyphenated and takes on a more precise meaning; the [[Name-of-the-Fathercategory:Freudian psychology]] is now the funndamental signifier which permits significaiton to proceed normally. This fundamental signifier both confers identity on the subject (it names him, positions him within the symbolic order) and signifies the Oedipal prohibition, the 'no' of the incest taboo. If this signifier is foreclosed (not included in the symbolic order), the result is [[psychosisCategory:Linguistics]]. -- In another work on psychosis, Lacan represents of the Oedipus complex as a metaphor ([[paternal metaphorCategory:Language]]), in which one signifier (the [[Name-of-the-FatherCategory:Symbolic]]) substitutes another (the desire of the mother).{{OK}}__NOTOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
