Jacques Lacan
=====Jacques Lacan=====
[[Lacan]]'s notion of the "'''[[repetition|insistence]] of the [[letter]]'''", or of the [[repetition|compulsive repetition]] of certain '''[[signifier]]s ''' or '''[[letter]]s ''' despite the [[subject]]'s [[consciousness|conscious attempts]] to [[repression|repress]] them, is a [[development]] of [[Freud]]'s "[[repetition|compulsion to repeat]]", but it is also influenced by the idea of "'''[[repetition|automatisme de répétition]]'''" ("[[repetition|repetition automatism]]"), which, in the French psychiatric tradition of Pierre Janet, refers to the [[repetition|compulsive repetition]] or [[repetition|reproduction]] of ''an [[complex|internalized social structure]]''.
[[Lacan]]'s tendency to use "'''[[repetition|automatisme de répétition]]'''" as a translation of [[Freud]]'s ''[[Wiederholungszwang]]'' is a reminder of how much he owes to the [[school]] of [[psychiatry]] in which he was first trained.
