==Jacques Lacan==
==Formalization==
The various "[[schemata]]" that begin to appear in [[Lacan]]'s [[work]] in the 1950s are all attempts to [[formalize]] by means of [[diagrams]] certain aspects of [[psychoanalytic theory]].
The [[schemata]] all consist of a [[number]] of points connected by a number of vectors.
[[Schema L]] ([[Fr]]. ''[[schéma L]]'') ==SchemataAlgebra==The various '[[schemata]]' that begin to appear in [[Lacan]]'s work in the 1950s are all attempts to [[formalize]] by means of diagrams certain aspects of [[psychoanalytic theory]].  The [[schemata]] all consist of a number of points connected by a number of vectors.  
Each point in a [[schema]] is designated by one of the [[symbol]]s of [[Lacan]]ian [[algebra]], while the vectors how the [[structure|structural relations]] between these [[symbol]]s.
==Topology==
The [[schemata]] can be seen as [[Lacan]]'s first incursion into the field of [[topology]].
==Schema L==[[Image:Lacan--schemal.jpg|right|Schema L]]
The first [[schema]] to appear in [[Lacan]]'s work is also the [[schema]] which he makes the most use of.
This [[schema]] is designated "''L''" because it resembles the upper-[[case ]] Greek ''lambda''.<ref>{{Ec}} p.53</ref> [[Lacan]] first introduces the [[schema]] in 1955, and it occupies a central place in his work for the next few years.<ref>{{S2}} p.243</ref> --
Two years later, [[Lacan]] replaces this version of first introduces the [[schema]] with in 1955, and it occupies a newer, "simplified formcentral [[place]] in his work for the next few years."<ref>{{Ec}} p.548; {{ES2}} p.193243</ref>
--Two years later, [[Lacan]] replaces this version of the [[schema]] with a newer, "simplified [[form]]."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 548; {{E}} p. 193</ref>
==Readings==
Although [[schema L]] allows many possible readings, the main point of the [[schema]] is to demonstrate that the [[symbolic]] relation (between the [[Other]] and the [[subject]]) is always blocked to a certain extent by the [[imaginary]] axis (between the [[ego]] and the [[specular image]]).
Because it has to [[pass ]] through the [[imaginary]] "wall of [[language]]," the [[discourse]] of the [[Other]] reaches the [[subject]] in an interrupted and [[inversion|inverted form]]. (see [[communication]])
The [[schema]] thus illustrates the opposition between the [[imaginary]] and the [[symbolic]] which is fundamental to [[Lacan]]'s conception of [[psychoanalysis]].
==Treatment==This is of [[practical ]] importance in the [[treatment]], since the [[analyst]] must usually intervene in the [[symbolic]] [[order]] rather than in the [[imaginary]].  Thus the [[schema]] also shows the position of the analyst in the [[treatment]]: If one wants to position the [[analyst]] within this [[schema]] of the [[subject]]'s [[speech]], one can say that he is somewhere in A.  At least he should be.  If he enters into the coupling of the [[resistance]], which is just what he is taught not to do, then he speaks from a' and he will see himself in the [[subject]]. <ref>{{S3}} 161-2</ref>
--Thus the [[schema]] also shows the [[position]] of the [[analyst]] in the [[treatment]]:
By positioning different elements in <blockquote>"If one wants to position the four empty loci [[analyst]] within this [[schema]] of the [[schemasubject]], 's [[schema Lspeech]] , one can say that he is somewhere in A. At least he should be used . If he enters into the coupling of the [[resistance]], which is just what he is taught not to analyse various sets of relations encountered do, then he speaks from a' and he will see himself in the [[psychoanalytic treatmensubject]]t. "<ref>{{S3}} p. 161-2</ref></blockquote>
For example ==Intersubjective Relations==By positioning different elements in the four empty loci of the [[Lacanschema]] uses it to analyse the relations between , [[Doraschema L]] and the other people in her story, <ref>{{S4}} p.142-3</ref> and also can be used to analyse the analyze various sets of relations between the various people encountered in the case of the young [[homosexual]] [[Womanpsychoanalytic treatment]].<ref>{{S4}} p.124-33</ref>.
For example [[Lacan]] uses it to [[analyse]] the relations between [[Dora]] and the other [[people]] in her story, <ref>{{S4}} p. 142-3</ref> and also to analyse the relations between the various people in the case of the young [[homosexual]] [[Woman]].<ref>{{S4}} p. 124-33</ref>.
==Intrasubjective Structure==
In addition to providing a map of [[intersubjective]] relations, [[schema L]] also represents [[intrasubjective]] [[structure]].
Thus it illustrates the [[decentering]] of the [[subject]], since the [[subject]] is not to be located only at the point marked '''S''', but over the [[whole ]] [[schema]].
<blockquote>"He is stretched over the four corners of the [[schema]]."<ref>{{E}} p.194</ref></blockquote>
--==Other Schemata==In addition to [[schema L]] there are several other [[schemata]] that appear in [[Lacan]]'s work <ref>'([[schema R'<ref>{{E}} p.197</ref>]]; 'schema I';<ref>{{E}} p.197, 212</ref>; the two [[schemata]]of [[Sade]]<ref>{{Ec}} p.774, 778</ref> )
All of these [[schemata]] are transformations of the basic [[quaternary]] of [[schema L]], on which they are based.
However, unlike [[schema L]], which serves as a constant point of reference for [[Lacan]] in the period 1954-7, each of these [[schemata]] only appears once in [[Lacan]]'s work.
By the [[time ]] the last of these [[schemata]] (the [[schemata]] of [[Sade]]) appear, in 1962, the [[schemata]] have already ceased to play an important part in [[Lacan]]'s [[discourse]], although it can be argued that they lay the groundwork for [[Lacan]]'s more rigorous [[topological]] work in the 1970s.
