''Le Séminaire, Livre II: Le moi dans la théorie de Freud et dans la technique de la psychanalyse, 1954-55''. Paris: Editions du Seuil, 1978. English version: ''The Seminar of Jacques Lacan, Book II: The Ego in Freud's Theory and in the Technique of Psychoanalysis, 1954-55''. Ed. J.-A. Miller. Trans. S Tomaselli. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1988.
The second seminar is a study of Freud's ''[[Beyond the Pleasure Principle]]'' - a central text throughout Lacan's career. This seminar contains Lacan's early formulations of the symbolic order and the circuit of discourse. Lacan explores the notion of repetition in Freud and how the subject is constituted within the chain of signification. This seminar also contains an early short version of ''[[The Purloined Letter]]'' paper and some rather strange reflections on language and cybernetics.
