The second [[Image:Sem.II.NB.jpg|border|right|300px]]<BR><BR><span style="line-height:1.5em;font-size:1.1em">[[Lacan]] deliberates on the distinction made in his [[Seminar I|first seminar is a study ]] between [[discourse]] [[analysis]] and the [[analysis]] of the [[ego]], both in relation to psychoanalytical theory and practice. He claims that "[[analysis]] deals with [[resistance]]s." He reviews three works by [[Freud's '']]: <i>[[Beyond the Pleasure Principle]]'' - a central text throughout Lacan's career. This seminar contains Lacan's early formulations of </i>, on the symbolic order [[death drive]]; <i>[[Group Psychology and the circuit Analysis of discourse. Lacan explores the notion of repetition in Freud Ego]]</i>; and how the subject is constituted within the chain of signification. This seminar also contains an early short version of ''<i>[[The Purloined LetterEgo and the Id]]'' paper and some rather strange reflections on language and cybernetics</i>.</span>
Book II<span style="line-height: 1.5em;font-size:1.1em">The Ego ego is a particular [[object]] within the [[experience]] of the subject, with a certain function: an [[imaginary]] one. When in Freud's Theory the [[specular image]] the ego is recognized as such by the subject, this [[image]] becomes [[self-conscious]]. "The [[mirror stage]] is based on the rapport [relationship] between, on one hand, a certain level of tendencies which are experienced as [[disconnected]] and, on the other, a [[unity]] with which it is merged and in paired. In this [[unity]] the Technique of Psychoanalysissubject knows itself as unity, but as an [[alienated]], [[virtual]] one."</span>

1954<span style="line-1955height:1.5em;font-size:1.1em">In "[[The Dream of Irma's Injection]]" the most tragic moment occurs in the confrontation with the [[Real]] - the ultimate Real, "something in front of which words stop." "In the [[dream]] the unconscious is what is [[outside]] all of the subjects. The structure of the dream shows that the unconscious is not the ego of the dreamer." "This subject outside the subject designates the whole [[structure]] of the dream." "What is at stake in the function of the dream is beyond the ego, what in the subject is of the subject and not of the subject, that is the unconscious."</span>
He reviews three works by <span style="line-height:1.5em;font-size:1.1em">"The purloined [[Freudletter]]: ‘’[[Beyond is synonymous with the Pleasure Principle]]’’original, on radical subject of the unconscious. The [[death instinctsymbol]]; ‘’is being [[Group Psychology displaced]] in its pure state: one cannot come into contact with without being caught in its play.

"</span>
But it is not enough to say that "the I of the unconscious is not the ego" since we tend to think this I as the true ego[[Image:schemaL. gif|center]]
Lacan proceeds <span style="line-height:2.0em;font-size:1.1em">The <i>[[Schema L]]</i>, systematized in the <i>[[Seminar on 'The Purloined Letter'|Seminar on 'The Purloined Letter' (La lettre volée)]]</i> ([[Écrits]], 1966), is elaborated in this [[seminar]]. A four-term structure maps the Real, the Imaginary and the Symbolic as replacing the second Freudian topography: [[ego]] / <i>[[id]]</i> / [[superego]]. Two diagonals intersect, while the imaginary rapport links <i>a</i> (the ego) to <i>a'</i> (the [[other]]), the line going from <i>S</i> (the subject, the Freudian <i>[[id]]</i>) to <i>A</i> (the [[Other]]) is interrupted by the first one. The Other is difficult to re-assert define: it is the place of [[language]] where [[subjectivity]] is constituted; it is the locus place of primal speech linked to the [[egoFather]] and reinstate ; it is the excentricity place of the absolute Other, the [[mother]] in the [[demand]]. The Other makes the subject without him knowing it. With Lacan, in Freud's <i>[[Wo Es war, soll Ich werden]]</i>, <i>Es</i> is the subject. It knows him or doesn't. The further, more exacting insight, is It speaks or doesn't. At the [[end of analysis]] vis-à-vis , it is It who must be called on to speak, and to enter in relation with real Others. Where <i>S</i> was, there the ego<i>Ich</i> should be.</span>

The ‘’[[Schema L]]’’, systematized in ‘’La lettre volée’’ (Écrits, 1966), is elaborated in this seminar. A four-term structure maps the [[Real]], the [[Imaginary]] and the [[Symbolic]] as replacing the second Freudian [[topography]]: [[ego]]/[[id]]/[[superego]]. Two diagonals intersect, while the imaginary rapport links ‘’a’’ (the ego) to ‘’a'’’ (the other), the line going from S (the subject, the Freudian ‘’id’’) to A (the Other) is interrupted by the first one. The [[Other]] is difficult to define: it is the place of [[language]] where [[subjectivity]] is constituted; it is the place of primal [[speech]] linked to the [[Father]]; it is the place of the absolute Other, the [[mother]] in the [[demand]]. The Other makes the subject without him knowing it. With Lacan in Freud's ‘’Wo Es war, soll Ich werden’’, ‘’Es’’ is the subject. It knows him or doesn't. The further, more exacting insight, is It speaks or doesn't. At the end of analysis, it is It who must be called on to speak, and to enter in relation with real Others.
