The ==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'''Name function of the Father"''' refers to the [[Law|lawssymbolic]] and restrictions that control both [[desirefather]] and '''" as the one who lays down the rules of [[communicationtaboo]] on [[incest]], according to in the '''[[LacanOedipus complex]]'''.
The <blockquote>"It is in the '[[Name-of-the-Father is closely bound up with |name of the [[superegofather]]' that we must recognize the support of the '''symbolic function''' which, from the dawn of [[phallushistory]], the has [[symbolicidentified]] his person with '''the [[orderfigure]], and of the [[oedipus complex]]law'''."<ref>{{E}} p. 67</ref></blockquote>
===Legislative and Prohibitive Function===The rexpression is at once a semi-humorous [[Namereligion|religious]] allusion and a play on the near-homonyms '''''non''''' and '''''nom''''': the '''[[name-of-the-Fatherfather]]''' ('''''le nom du père''''') is also the [[father]]'s "'''no'''" ('''''le "non" du père''''') to the [[child]]'s [[incest]] has a uous '''[[desire]]''' for its '''[[shadow doublemother]] in '''. (the '''[[Father-law|legislative and prohibitive function]]''' of-Enjoymentthe '''[[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 [[Name -of -the -Father]]' both confers [[identity]] on [[human]] [[subject]]s (Fr. ‘’Nom du père’’by situating [[them]] in a lineage and the [[symbolic]] [[order]]) , is the and [[signifiersignification|signifies]] associated with the '''[[signifiedOedipus complex|Oedipal]] [[conceptlaw|prohibition]] ''', the ''''no'''' of the [[fatherincest]]. The name of the Father is a [[symbolictaboo]] formation.
===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]]'''.
== Prohibitive Function of the Symbolic Father ==The expression “the name of the father,” when it first appeared in Lacan’s work, in the early 1950s, referred generally to the “[[prohibition|prohibitive role]]” of the “[[symbolic]] [[father]]” as the one who lays down the [[incest]] [[taboo]] in the [[oedipus complex]]. <blockquote>“It is in the ‘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>Lacan, Jacques. Écrits. p.67</ref></blockquote>  ===The “No” of the FatherPaternal Metaphor===In the French language, the expression “the name of the father” (“’’le nom du père’’”) is phonetically similar to the expression “the ‘no’ of the father” (“’’le ‘non’ du père’’”).Lacan plays on this similarity to emphasize the prohibitive function of the symbolic father (the ‘no’ of the [[incest]] [[taboo]])Image:NOTF==The Psychoses==In ‘’[[The_psychosesgif|The Seminar, Book III: The Psychoses]]’’ the expression becomes capitalized and hyphenated. The [[Name-of-the-Father]] is now the [[fundamental signifier]] which permtis [[signification]] to proceed normally.This fundamental signifier both confers [[identity]] on the [[subject]] (insofar as it names him, positions him within the symbolic order, etc.) and signifies the [[oedipus complexthumb|oedipal]] [[prohibition]], the ‘no’ of the [[incest]] [[taboo]]. If this signifier is foreclosed (not included in the symbolic order), the result is [[psychosis]].Nevertheless, [[Jacques Lacan]] developed this concept with the ultimately unsuccessful aim of curing psychosis.  == Linguistics ==French [[psychoanalyst]] [[Jacques Lacan]] revised the [[oedipus complex]] in line with his [[structuralism404px|structuralist]] attempt to combine [[psychoanalysis]] and [[linguistics]].  Lacan claimed that, although the [[infant]] must come to [[identificationright|identify]] with the [[father]] (in order to participate in [[sexual relationsThe paternal metaphor]]), the infant could never ‘become’ the father (as this would imply sexual relations with the [[mother]]).The position of the In [[fatheranother]] could never be held by the [[infant]]. Thus, through the dictates on the one hand to be the father and work on the other not to, the father is elevated to an [[ideal]].The [[father]] is no longer a [[biology|biologicalpsychosis]] father, but a function of a father: the [[Name-of-the-Father]].    The same goes for the mother &mdash; Lacan no longer talks of a real mother, but simply of [[desire (Lacanian)|desire]], which is a desire to return to represents the undifferentiated state of ''being'' together with the mother, before the interference through the Name-of-the-Father. This desire necessarily lacks something, i.e. it is a desire of lack.   The father and accordingly the phallus (not a ''real'' penis, but a representation of [[master]]y) can never be reached, thus he is above or outside the language system and cannot be spoken about. All language relies on this absence of the phallus from the system of [[significationOedipus complex]]. According to this theory, without a phallus ''outside'as a ' of language, nothing ''in'' language would make sense or could be differentiated. Thus Lacan remodels the linguistic theory of Swiss linguist [[Ferdinand de Saussuremetaphor]]. It is this idea that forms the basis of much contemporary thought, especially [[poststructuralism]]. Nothing can be thought that is ''outside'' of language, but the phallus '('is'' there and therefore structures the whole system of thought accordingly. Oedipus could also be thought of the theme of the story.  ==Freud vs Lacan== In ''[[Totem and Taboopaternal metaphor]]'''), in which one [[Sigmund Freudsignifier]] uses a theory of (the history, based on Darwin's [[theory Name-of evolution]], in which there was first a terrible father that -the brothers had to kill. Feeling guilty about it, the brothers began to pay homage to the father and founded [[monotheism-Father]]. In Lacan's theory, the learning of ) [[languagemetaphor|substitutes]] leads another (the child to kill his father as a [[symboldesire]]. Lacan does not use any historical theory. This concept allows a new understanding of the [[neurosismother]]).
