[[order]] ([[Fr]]. ''[[{{Top}}ordre]]'') {{Bottom}}
(Although [[Lacan]] uses the terms "[[real]]," "[[symbolic]]" and "imagianry[[imaginary]]" from early on in his work, it is not until 1953 that he speaks of these as three "orders[[order]]s" or three "registers[[order|register]]s.")
(From that moment on they come to be the fundamental classification system around which all his theorizing turns.) [[Jacques Lacan]] first develops the three "[[order]]s" (or "[[register]]s") in 1953.
The [[imaginary]], the [[symbolic]] and the [[real]] thus comprise a basic classification system (around which all [[Lacan]]'s theorising turns) which allows important distinctions to be drawn between concepts which, according to [[Lacan]], had previously been confused in [[psychoanalytic theory]].
