| − | ==Introduction==
| |
| − | [[Lacan]] stresses the importance of the [[signification|signifying]] [[structure]] in [[fantasy]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He takes as his starting point the [[matheme]] [[Image:barreds.gif]] <> a, which is the logical articulation of [[fantasy]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[matheme]] was already introduced in the 1957-58 [[seminar]], ''[[Les formations de l'inconscient]]'', in the [[graph of desire|graphs of desire]], and was later developed in 1960 in "[[The Subversion of the Subject and the Dialectic of Desire in the Freudian Unconscious]]" as the first [[topology]]] of the [[subject]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:barreds.gif]] represents the [[division]] of the [[subject]] [[bar]]red by the [[signifier]] that constitutes him.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[sign]] <> enunciates the relation either of inclusion/implication, or of exclusion between the two terms.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It's a binary system where the verb as such [[diappearance|disappears]] to leave room for the [[algebra]]ic [[sign]] of a pure relation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Definitions of ''[[objet a]]'' will vary over the years; to understand it here, one should go back to the [[part object]] of the 1956-7 [[seminar]], ''[[La relation d'objet et les structures freudiennes]]'', and then address its [[analysis]] in ''[[L'angoisse]]'' and ''[[L'objet de la psychanalyse]]''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In 1960, however, [[Lacan]] mentions the [[fascination]] of the [[fantasy]] in which "the subject becomes the cut that makes shine in its inexpressible oscillation."<ref>[[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]]. 1960.</ref>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The ''[[objet a]]'' would be the [[primal]] [[object]], forever [[loss|lost]], the remainder or the product, which cannot be assimilated because it is [[real]], of the [[cut]] operated by the [[primal]] [[signifier]] engendering the [[subject]] when it [[repetition|repeats]] itself in absolute [[difference]] (''[[L'identification]]'').
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <blockquote>"If ''a'' is the frame of the subject, this frame falls at the level of the most fundamental act of life, the act in which the subject as such is engendered, i.e the repetition of the signifier."<ref>[[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]]. ''[[L'identification]]''</ref></blockquote>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is the [[symbolic]] [[Paternal Metaphor|paternal mark]] or the [[phallus|phallic mark]] since there is no [[signifier]] of [[sexual difference]]: "The phallus alone is the sex-unity."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The ''[[objet a]]'' creates a hole constantly filled, in the [[partial drive]]s, by the different ''[[objets a]]'', the [[breast]], [[feces]], the [[penis]], the [[gaze]] or the [[voice]], [[object]]s that are in themselves caught in [[imaginary]] [[substitution]]s.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To understand [[fantasy]], one should try to determine the logical status of ''[[objet a]]'', which can only be accomplished by way of a [[topology]] dealing with gemetrical figures.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Is ''[[objet a]]'' situated on the side of the [[drive]] or of [[desire]] of which it is the [[causality|cause]]?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Is it born out of the [[separation]] from the placenta as a part of the [[body]] proper or from the [[division]] from oneself from the [[signifier]], the cost that the [[speaking being]] has to pay to become a [[subject]]?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Is there really an alternative?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Lacan]] talks of a surface where "desire and reality" are "the right and the wrong sides"; however, the passage from one side to the other is unnoticeable, as if there were only one side, because "the relation of texture does not entail any break."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Might the [[fantasy]] allow oneself to go from the [[drive]] to [[desire]] and from [[desire]] to the [[drive]], to link them or to disjoint them?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Lacan]] oscillates between exaltation and bouts of [[anxiety]]: "The logic of fantasy is the most fundamental principle of any logic that deals with formalizing defiles," and at the same time defers his presentation of "alienation in terms logical calculation" because its formulation is not yet ready.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The reason might have been that "truth is related to desire," which "creates difficulties for handling it like logicians do."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | His aim is to define "a logic that is not a logic, an entirely new logic that I have not named yet, for it needs to be instituted first."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Using the character of Diotima from ''[[The Symposium]]'', he mentions academic Penia (the [[lack]]) before psychoanalytic Poros (male resource) and wonders "up to what point, between the two, he could let the obscurity go."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[seminar]] shifts its course toward the search for a logic of the [[subject]] around the [[descartes|Cartesian]] [[cogito]], then toward "the sexual act," questioning "the impossible subjectivization of sex," and of ''[[jouissance]]''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The multiple transformations of [[Descartes]]' ''[[cogito ergo sum]]'' (either "I think or I am"; "either I don't think or I am not"; "I am where I don't think," or "I think where I am not") end with a play of words: ''Cogito ergo es''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[Latin]] ''es'' ('you are') marks the fundamental dependency on the [[Other]] and raises the problem of the passage from ''[[objet a]]'' to the ''[[Other]]'' or from the [[Other]] to ''[[objet a]]''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Applied to [[desire]], "I desire you" means "I implicate you in my fundamental fantasy" as ''[[objet a]]''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Applied to [[love]], "You are not, therefore I am not"; "You are nothing but what I am"; "You are the nothing that I am."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Now, in [[German]], ''Es'' is the ''id'', defined as the "non-I," the impersonal [[id]], is it the reservoir of [[drive]]s?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Is it the cauldron (with a hole in it) of [[Freud]]'s witches?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Or is it an aggregate of [[signifier]]s?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Lacan]] elaborates on the notion of "un[[being]]," ''[[désêtre]]'', which would become the mark of the [[end of analysis]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He elaborates on [[pun]]s: the [[unconscious]] [[desire]] is "pure desire," ''dés-être'' like ''dés-espoir'', despair, is an ''irpas'', from the [[Latin]] ''ire'', to go and the [[negation]] ''pas'', not, which is an ''impassé'', something that had not gone through, linked to the [[desire of the Other]], but also an impasse, a dead end, due to [[repetition]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[interpretation]] does not entail any solution, issue, to the interpreted [[desire]] because there is no solution, issue, to the [[unconscious]] [[desire]] that "will always remain a désirpas (desirenot)."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For [[Lacan]], is this [[knowledge]] of the [[truth]] of the [[unconscious]] [[desire]] really the solution, issue to be offered in [[analysis]], the solution to the unfulfilled desire" of [[hysteria]], to the "prevented desire" of [[phobia]], or to the "impossible desire" of [[obsession]]?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | By itself, the ''[[objet a]]'' upholds "the truth of alienation"; to discover this [[truth]] is to discover that "there is no universe of discourse" because something [[real]] (something [[impossible]] because not [[symbolization|symbolizable]]) eludes it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | "The big secret of psychoanalysis is that there is no sexual act," all there is is [[sexuality]], a very different thing.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[act]] has a specific definition: it provokes a [[signification|signifying]] doubling that allows for an insertion of the [[subject]] in a [[signifying chain|chain]] in which he inscribes himself.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Or it raises the institution of the [[signifier]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | But there is no [[signifier]] of [[sexual difference]] and none of the [[femininity|feminine]] [[sex]] either.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Between [[man]] and ]]woman]] "there is this third object, ''objet a'', whose always sliding function of substitution makes it impossible to keep them opposed in whatever eternal essence. It is impossible then to posit a subject inscribing himself as sexed in the act of conjunction to the subject of what is called the opposite sex."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | At the [[symbolic]] level, "there is no sexual rapport": there is merely (a + 1) and (a - 1), where a term marks the [[difference]] as a plus or a a minus.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[phallus]] is "the sex-unity": the 1 [[symbolization|symbolizes]] the incommensurable.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Lacan]] uses [[Marx]]'s analyses of [[use value]] and [[exchange value]], and starts his theory of "man-he" (''[[l'homme-il]]'').
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The "man-he" is also the man-standard and the man-stallion (''l'homme-étalon''), as well as the bull and the poor bearer of the [[symbol]] of [[sex]], doomed to [[symbolic]] [[castration]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He does not know how to live since there is no [[Other]] to [[guarantee]] him, not even if he were [[God]], marked as he is by [[castration]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The only safeguard is the construction of a protective society based on [[masculinity|masculine]] [[homosexuality]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The [[Father]] of [[Freud]]'s [[primal horde]], because he supposedly ''jouis'' all [[women]], sees "his jouissance killed."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Then, if the almighty [[phallus]] circulates, it is due to [[women]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | "Woman represents the phallus as an exchange value among men; and, if the power of the penis bears the mark of castration, it is because fictitiously she becomes what is enjoyed, ''ce dont on jouit'', and circulates as an object of ''jouissance'': she is the locus of transference of this ''jouissance'' value" represented by the [[phallus]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Through her [[identification]] to the [[use value]] embodied in the [[phallus]], [[woman]] transforms herself into an [[object]]-[[good]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Yet, she does not lack resources, such as [[masquerade]], to act as "man-she," ''l'homme-elle''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | "She is inexpugnable as a woman precisely outside the system of the sexual act," or "she has a different use of her own jouissance outside this ideology."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Thus, [[Lacan]] establishes "the radical heterogeneity" of the ''[[jouissance]]'' of the two [[sex]]es whose rapport could only be problematic.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | He begins here a reflection that will lead him to ''[[Encore]]'', the twentieth [[seminar]].
