[[Lacan]] confronts the [[theory]] of [[object]] relations defended by We find imaginary solutions to the gap (<i>[[Société Psychanalytique de Paris]]béance</i>: [[Freud]] did not bother [[about]] the object, he cared about ") produced by the [[lackappearance]] of the object.phallus " This lack has [[nothing]] to do with [[frustration]]. It as that which is a matter of a [[renunciationlacking]] that involves in the mother, in the law of mother and the [[Father]]: "...child, and between the [[mother]] and the [[child]], Freud introduced a [[third]] and [[imaginary]] term whose signifying [[role]] " because the father alone is a major one: the bearer or possessor of the phallus. Lacan establishes [[phallusthree]]." The study is based on the function modes of rapport to this object: frustration (the imaginary damage done to a real object in , the penis as organ), [[phobia]] and in [[fetishismdeprivation]] (Freud's <i>Little the real lack or [[Hanshole]]</i>, <i>A Child is created by the [[Being]] Beaten</i>). In his [[analysisloss]] of <i>a [[Little Hanssymbolic]]</i>object, Lacan states that [[anxiety]] arises when the phallus as [[subjectsignifier]] is poised between ), castration ([[the imaginarysymbolic]] preoedipical debt in the [[triangleregister]] of the law and the Oedipical loss of the phallus as imaginary object). The mother falls from "[[quaternarythe Symbolic]]: Hans' to [[realthe Real]] " while the [[penis]] makes itself felt in [[infantile]] [[masturbationobjects]], through the mediation of the phallus, fall from "the Real to the Symbolic. Anxiety arises since he can now measure " The fall of the mother leads to the [[differencestructuring]] between that preference for what he is loved (his [[position]] as [[imaginary phallus]]) and what he really has to give (his insignificant real [[organ]])the father. Lacan muses about the way in which "the [[The Subject|The subjectfeminine]] would have been rescued from anxiety by object conceives the [[castratingobject relation]] ." Lacan talks of [[interventionmotherhood]] of the real father, but the father fails to [[separatelove]] the child from the mother and thus Hans develops a phobia as , a [[substitutecase]] for this intervention. It is not Hans' of feminine [[separationhomosexuality]] from the mother (Freud's 1920) in which produces anxiety, but failure he sees a type of relation to lack and to separate from her. [[Castration]], far from being the main source of anxiety, is what actually saves [[The Subject|the subject]] from itfather.<br>

We find imaginary solutions As to the gap (<i>béance</i>) produced by the phallus and [[appearancesexual]] of the phallus "as difference, Lacan argues that which is in [[lackingorder]] in the mother, in the mother and the to assume castration every child, and between the mother and the child," because the father alone is must [[renounce]] the bearer or possessor possibility of being the phallus. Lacan establishes [[three]] modes of the mother; this "rapport to this object: frustration (the imaginary damage done to a real object, the penis as organ), phallus is established without [[deprivationregard]] ( to the real lack or [[holeanatomical]] created by difference of the [[losssexes]] ." The renunciation of a [[symbolicidentification]] object, with the imaginary phallus as [[signifier]]), castration ([[paves the way for a rapport with the symbolic]] debt in phallus which is different for the sexes: the [[registermale]] of the law and the loss of has the symbolic phallus as imaginary object), i.e. The mother falls from "he is not without having it" - [[the Symbolicwoman]] to [[the Real]]" while does not. Yet the male can only lay [[objectsclaim]], through the mediation of to the symbolic phallusif he assumes castration, fall from "the Real to the Symbolici.e." The fall of the mother leads to give up being the [[structuring]] preference for the fatherimaginary phallus. Lacan muses about Further, the way in which "the [[feminine]] object conceives the [[object relation]]." Lacan talks of [[motherhood]], [[love]], a [[case]] of feminine [[homosexuality]] (Freudwoman's 1920) lack of symbolic phallus is in which he sees itself a type kind of relation to lack and to the fatherpossession.<br>

As to the phallus and [[sexual]] difference, Lacan argues that in [[order]] to assume castration every child must [[renounce]] the possibility of being the phallus of the mother; this "rapport to the phallus is established without [[regard]] to the [[anatomical]] difference of the [[sexes]]." The renunciation of [[identification]] with the imaginary phallus paves the way for a rapport with the symbolic phallus which is different for the sexes: the [[male]] has the symbolic phallus, i.e. "he is not without having it" - [[woman]] does not. Yet the male can only lay [[claim]] to the symbolic phallus if he assumes castration, i.e. to give up being the imaginary phallus. Further, the woman's lack of symbolic phallus is in itself a kind of possession.<br><br>===The Real Phallus.===

<br>Lacan uses the term penis to denote the [[biological]] organ and reserves the term phallus to denote the imaginary and symbolic functions of this organ. However, he does not always maintain the usage. This argues that the [[distinction]] between penis and phallus is somewhat unstable and that "the phallus [[concept]] is the site of a [[regression]] towards the biological organ" (David Macey). The penis has an important role to play in the [[Oedipus]] [[complex]]. It is via this organ that the child's [[sexuality]] is felt in masturbation. The intrusion of the real in the imaginary preoedipical triangle transforms the triangle from something pleasurable to something which provokes anxiety. The question posed by Oedipus is where the real phallus is located, the answer to the riddle is that it is located in the real father.<br><br>====[[The Imaginary]] Phallus====<br>

====The Symbolic Phallus====<br>The phallus which circulates between mother and child posits the first [[dialectic]] in the child's [[life]] which, though imaginary, frames the symbolic. An imaginary element is mobilized - the phallus becomes an imaginary signifier. The phallus is a symbolic object; it is a signifier.<br>
