==Jacques Lacan==
==Little and Big Other==In 1955, [[Lacan]] argues draws a [[distinction]] between the "[[little other]]" and the "[[big Other]]" ("the [[Other]]"), a distinction which remains central throughout the rest of his work.<ref>{{S2}} Chapter 19</ref> Thereafter, in [[Lacan]]ian [[algebra]], the [[big Other]] is designated '''A''' (upper [[case]], for [[French]] ''[[Other|Autre]]'') and the [[little other]] is designated <i>'''a'''</i> (lower case italicized, for [[French]] ''[[Other|autre]]''). [[Lacan]] asserts that an [[speechawareness]] originates not in of this distinction is fundamental to [[analytic treatment|analytic practice]]: the [[egoanalyst]] or even in must be "thoroughly imbued" with the [[subjectdifference]] but between '''A''' and <i>'''a'''</i>,<ref>{{E}} p. 140</ref> so that he can situate himself in the place of [[Other]], and not of the [[other]].<ref>{{Ec}} p.454</ref>
===Little other (autre, "''a''") ===The [[little other]] is the [[other]] who is not, in fact, [[other]], but a [[Lacanreflection]] argues that or [[speechprojection]] and of the [[languageego]] are beyond .<ref>This is why the symbol a can [[consciousrepresent]] the little other and the ego interchangeably in [[schema L]] control. </ref> It is simultaneously the [[Speechcounterpart]] and the [[languagespecular image]] come from an. The [[little other]] place, is inscribed in the [[imaginary]] [[order]] as both the [[outsidecounterpart]] and the [[consciousnessspecular image]].
==Sigmund FreudSpeech and the Other==In conceiving However, the [[meaning]] of "the [[Other]] as a another [[placesubject]], " is strictly secondary to the meaning of "the [[LacanOther]] alludes to as [[Freudsymbolic]]'s concept of [[psychical localityorder]]." "The Other must first of all be considered a locus, the locus in which speech is constituted."<ref>{{S3}} p. 274</ref> It is thus only possible to speak of the [[unconsciousOther]] is described as a [[subject]] in a secondary [[sense]], in the sense that a [[subject]] may occupy this position and thereby "embody"the [[otherOther]] for another [[scenesubject]]."<ref>{{S8}} p. 202</ref>
==(M)other=Discourse of the Other===It In arguing that [[speech]] originates not in the [[ego]] or even in the [[subject]] but in the [[Other]], [[Lacan]] is stressing that [[speech]] and [[language]] are beyond [[conscious]] [[control]]; they come from an [[other]] place, [[outside]] [[consciousness]], and hence "the [[motherunconscious]] who first occupies is the [[positiondiscourse]] of the [[big Other]] for ."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 16</ref> In conceiving of the [[childOther]] as a [[place]], because it is she who receives the [[childLacan]] alludes to [[Freud]]'s primitive cries and [[retroactivelyconcept]] of [[psychical locality]], in which the [[unconscious]] sanctions them is described as a particular "the [[messageother]]. (see [[punctuationscene]]). "
==Lack in the Other==
It is the [[mother]] who first occupies the [[position]] of the [[big Other]] for the [[child]], because it is she who receives the [[child]]'s [[primitive]] cries and [[retroactively]] sanctions [[them]] as a [[particular]] [[message]]. The [[Castration Complexcastration complex]] is formed when the [[child]] discovers that this [[Other]] is not [[complete]], that there is a [[lack]] in the [[Other]]. In other [[words]], there is always a [[signifier]] [[missing ]] from the treasury of [[signifier]]s constituted by the [[Other]]. The [[mythical]] complete [[Other]] (written '''A''' in [[Lacan]]ian [[algebra]]) does not [[exist]]. In 1957 [[Lacan]] illustrates this incomplete [[Other]] graphically by striking a [[bar]] through the [[symbol]] '''<strike>A</strike>'''. Hence another [[name]] for the [[castrated]], incomplete [[Other]] is the ''[[barred]] [[Other]]''.
