[[Lacan]] responds to the alternative between the [[mathematical]] [[model]] and [[metaphor]] by [[stating]] that "[[topology]] is not a metaphor, but a rigorous <i>montage</i> with the <i>[[objet a]]</i>." Thus the use of four [[mathemes]]: the disk with a [[hole]], the Moebius [[strip]], the [[torus]] and the [[Klein]] bottle. "The hole of the [[lack]] of the <i>objet a</i> would be located at the intersection of the fields of truth and knowledge": such is the conribution of [[psychoanalysis]]. It can therefore question [[science]] as to the truth whose [[contingency]] is missed or forgotten; the same happens with [[religion]]. Lacan both splits and unites his audience in two [[categories]]: "those who use my [[word]] for [[analytic]] purposes," and "those who prove that it can be followed in all its [[coherence]] and rigor, that it fits in a [[structure]] valid even [[outside]] its [[present]] [[practice]]." He also distinguishes between the [[analyst]] who at the [[moment]] of knowledge is divided (and he [[knows]] it), and the status of the subject-supposed-to-[[know]] (the subject of science) who restores the prestige of <i>mé[[connaissance]]</i> by [[thinking]] that he is uniting knowledge and subject.<br> Lacan goes to the [[Graph]] of [[Desire]] and relates [[them]] to his topology. The <i>objet a</i> is situated on four sides:<br>1. the [[demand]] of the [[Other]] (<i>objet a</i> is [[feces]])<br>2. the demand on the part of the Other (<i>objet a</i> is the [[breast]])<br>3. desire on the part of the Other (<i>objet a</i> is the [[gaze]])<br> 4. desire of the Other (<i>objet a</i> is the [[voice]])<br>In this perspective he gives an account of his lectures in the [[United States]], organized by Roman [[Jakobson]], notably "Of Structure as an Inmixing of an [[Otherness]] Prerequisite to Any Subject Whatever," at Johns Hopkins [[University]]. Michel [[Foucault]] talks [[about]] Velasquez's <i>Las Meninas</i>. His address allows Lacan to conjure his [[theory]] of the painting as "a trap for the gaze," a gaze in which what falls is <i>objet a</i>. The little [[girl]] is the slit in the perspective and the vanishing point, the hidden center of the painting, and "in this gap, <i>béance</i> where there is [[nothing]] to see, it is [[impossible]] to recognize the structure of the <i>objets a</i>: underneath the Infanta's dresses, 'it looks at me,' while the eye is made not to see..." Georges [[Bataille]]'s <i>Histoire de l'oeil</i> is quoted as a [[text]] that establishes a connection among all the <i>objets a</i> in their rapport to the [[feminine]] [[sexual]] [[organ]]. Therefore, the [[phallus]] is the [[sign]] that occupies the [[place]] of this gap, the impossible or untenable [[real]]. This entails a reshaping of the [[unconscious]] around [[language]] and the gaze (excluded by [[Freud]]). Lacan goes back to to the [[Freudian]] [[dimension]] of desire and of the subject whose foundation is [[castration]]. The vagina, the feminine sexual organ, becomes the <i>objet a</i>, which fascinates and leads to ruin unless there is the [[screen]] of the phallus, even under the [[form]] of - <font face="[[Symbol]]" size="3">F</font>. In the end, the [[penis]], as a manifestation that is seen, hardly hides the [[presence]] of an <i>objet a</i> that would be an enigmatic - <i>a</i>.<br> The gaze, it should be noted, is not found on the side of the subject, but on that of the [[object]]. "It marks the point in the object (the picture) from which the viewing subject is already gazed at" ([[Slavoj Zizek]]). The gaze is a spot in the picture, which does not warrant the presence of the subject and by blurring its visibility, introduces a [[split]] in the rapport between the object and the subject: the latter cannot see the picture at the point from which it is gazing at him. Zizek brings out <i>[[Psycho]]</i>, where Norman Bates' house is rendered [[uncanny]] because Hitchcok's viewpoint switches from the house coming closer (as seen by the approaching [[woman]]) to the same woman coming closer (as seen from the house), giving the anxious impression that the house is gazing at her. ==English translation==An [[English]] [[translation]] of [[Seminar XXI]], made from unpublished [[French]] transcripts, was made by a [[reading]] group associated with Cormac Gallagher and [http://www.lacaninireland.com ''Jacques Lacan in Ireland''] and arranged in a presentable [[form]] by Tony Hughes.* [http://www.lacaninireland.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/13-The-Object-of-Psychoanalysis1.pdf Download], [https://mega.nz/#!rXB0kKBa!7SIIazHP8AgzCr_DmwirTx2i0-CK3vZXlW8RIWlxQ00 Mirror #1] {{Center|<pdf width="450px" height="600px">File:13-The-Object-of-Psychoanalysis.pdf</pdf>}} ==English Audio =={{#widget:Iframe|url=https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/42510115&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true|width=100%|height=450|border=0}} ==French=={| class="wikitable floatright" width="250px" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" align="center" bgcolor="#ffffff" style="float:right;margin-left:10px;line-height:2.0em; padding-left:30px; background:#ffffff; text-align:center;"|bgcolor="#ffffff" width="200px" style="padding-left:10px"|Date| bgcolor="#ffffff" width="50px" style="padding-left:10px" |PDF|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 01 décembre 1965 | [https://mega.nz/#!WHAQTSYQ!hAq52xSputQLsE-G3cq-N2H8Bk6zRS8VfcnDrWfe1jM link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 08 décembre 1965| [https://mega.nz/#!yLBEwYJY!pKyrMIp6zvuneu-bM2O7xVkueUELPyA42talSmkr3m8 link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 15 décembre 1965| [https://mega.nz/#!nbA2HKxC!e6QQ_1QGahgDERJlByfgQEkgwFbR777f8yxjvYt4DsY link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 22 décembre 1965 | [https://mega.nz/#!PWQCXaIC!wcZ6NIYg5dCzJ9jQJ385j7DSVNo1gETLG7XRNIIwHz4 link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 05 janvier 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!2HYEzQLR!HxTxKjjFhJKdCDeH57rIEA5zVi5WFYhOh44SnkTN8HQ link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 12 janvier 1966 | [https://mega.nz/#!fOQAnALK!xIu21LhoSfDnunv9Nbm_WBUc1-MdLaK5xfXGx--vczI link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 19 janvier 1966 | [https://mega.nz/#!ebBgDa4R!PcuBLw8kXjvUA-sB9u_poik420S0t4VGEgEDklQWFLs link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 26 janvier 1966 | [https://mega.nz/#!3CZEGACb!B14ErZ6gXsm73KyWNBm4ffJ1VFEgb2MxcqEKWvdalmw link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 02 février 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!iTZQSaRS!H8fyF2N0-QJGqsjL8gvz1R7Cg40a24EpgPYp3wD7bxE link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 09 février 1966 | [https://mega.nz/#!THRwTCIC!Hjay6NhZ3KhSXz0e1Pgxq440Nh3ezQgH2TAM8-GslYg link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 23 février 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!zWBQRKIA!cvmzuks5RUD-LrQk7pU-26EdsYFFOkuxsl6eSCfha6o link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 23 mars 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!WDR0kQQC!imlbW7WuDON_McNHRLAv58st_JLGn9LS9isRyvxREJA link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 30 mars 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!3LIQwKZK!jQZYHmoh4chVUWfXtZ0s_vjMbriRD5YVHuyUgIBkbv8 link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 20 avril 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!DTJyFQQI!cSWoOnDGiHlPOT3YpFGlu-9tckoDcPlRikF0T1JsDU4 link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 27 avril 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!uaR0yKrL!YJCryl57w_AIlW6PYcfCv-uDO5bHqavc7eTzeOZ9qok link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 04 mai 1966 | [https://mega.nz/#!SeYGSYyB!aCKvLxTVxGkibdRpmKmbjFTAsMF96bhoI6n7YGF4n00 link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 11 mai 1966 | [https://mega.nz/#!aCBAVAAb!EJ5gs-p-UZG4VukjTkZZtszDbwu02kF0y5vV_MY00ME link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 18 mai 1966 | [https://mega.nz/#!rDAGHaAD!CbkD2LkMeUzUMrfQ_k3d9K_QKsaDmm9TdGWFSYeLYZw link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 25 mai 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!nDJCEATS!cCpfsKyNvi2WyLueF_mRbOVNUXMROMnzW0gwZm0I89g link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 01 juin 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!ibJmyK6Z!LTQ0FfkkFPAqnVCph4RdJXZpEctwsH-iwoYulxNod-4 link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 08 juin 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!GaIyDCYR!hRHDoMKWeqNtayp9PWwDPE-jadd1tiU3upSznFKUt-U link]|-| bgcolor="#ffffff" style="padding-left:15px" | 15 juin 1966| [https://mega.nz/#!3OJixQ7B!Tpjvy7WX3g88SPdOOeqSk-5cRDQYpwTRbHBB5VxAxO8 link]
