==Introduction==In <i>[[Le transfert ]]</i> [[Lacan ]] describes [[symbolic ]] [[identification ]] as [[identification ]] with the [[signifier]]. Here, he examines the rapport of the [[subject ]] to the [[signifier]]. In the [[three ]] types of [[identification ]] isolated by [[Freud ]] in <i>[[Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego ]]</i> (1921, S.E. XVIII), he finds:

# A [[primitive ]] [[identification ]] with the [[father ]] as such based on a single feature: the [[matrix ]] of the [[Ideal]]-of-the-Ego, a symbolic [[introjection ]] of the [[father]]'s mark, "An [[identity ]] of body [[links ]] the [[Father ]] of all [[times ]] to all those who descend from Him."# A [[regressive ]] [[identification ]] in [[love ]] relations: the [[object ]] refuses itself, therefore the [[subject ]] [[identifies ]] with the [[object ]] (one centered around <i>[[objet a ]]</i> and the [[phallus]]).# An [[hysteric|hysterical ]] [[identification ]] where the [[subject ]] recognizes in the [[other ]] his [[global ]] [[situation]].

By asserting the [[identification ]] of the [[signifier ]] and the [[identification ]] with the [[signifier]], [[Lacan ]] brings [[about ]] a new [[category ]] consisting in the first two and centered on the rapport to the [[Father ]] and to the [[phallus]]. It becomes crucial to institute the [[subject ]] in his rapport to the [[signifier ]] - to the [[signifier ]] alone. To mark the [[difference ]] between the preverbal and the [[verbal ]] [[Lacan ]] points at his dog, Justine, who has [[speech ]] but not language: insofar as she speaks, she never takes him for an other, she is not capable of [[transference ]] and lives in the [[demand]]. In "[[The agency of the letter in the unconscious or reason since Freud]]" (<i>[[Écrits: A Selection]]</i>) he refers to the [[language ]] of the [[affect ]] and of the [[body ]] as the "nonhuman" aspect of those who "do not have [[language]]." The only salvation lies in "the signifying identification" where the preverbal is articulated within [[The Subject|the subject]]'s relation to the [[word]].

In "[[The agency of the letter]]..." the [[signifier ]] is turned into an inscription in the [[unconscious]], a seal, which in <i>[[L'identification ]]</i> becomes the "unbroken line," <i>[[trait unaire]]</i>, a [[symbolic ]] term which is to produce the [[ego-ideal]]. Though this [[trait ]] may originate as a [[sign]], it becomes a [[signifier ]] when incorporated into a signifying [[system]]: [[identification ]] raises the question of the identical. Can it be said that A = A? No, for there already is a difference due to repetition: hence A[[Image:lacansem1b2.gif]]A. Against the One of [[totality]], [[Lacan ]] institutes the 1 as the single mark, the unbroken line, made by mere repetition. The [[signifier ]] has a [[unity ]] only insofar as it is that which all the other ones are not, insofar as it is pure difference: the One as such is the Other. There is no tautology in expressions such as "war is war" or "Lacan is Lacan." The [[real ]] [[thing ]] has [[nothing ]] to do with this, it is the same [[signifier ]] that functions to connote pure difference, for, in [[repetition]], the [[signifier ]] represents the [[subject ]] for [[another ]] [[signifier ]] and not for some one. The [[identification ]] of the [[signifier ]] and the [[identification ]] with the signfier closely mingle. [[Formal ]] [[logic]], the study of the proper [[name]], the [[complex ]] grammar of [[negation]]... everything works toward defining the unbroken line as "a [[return]], the seizing of the origin of a counting before the [[number]]." The [[phallus ]] as the [[symbolic ]] mark is at the origin since "[[narcissism and incorporation should be located in the direction of the [[Father ]] and not in the direction of the parasited [[mother]]'s [[body]]." [[Lacan]]'s response to the problem of the origin (the chicken or the egg?) is the rooster, the [[signifier ]] that makes the rooster, the [[letter ]] or unbroken line. His [[project ]] is to create "a [[topology|topological ]] [[structure ]] of the [[subject]]."
