Changes

Lacan uses [[Marx]]'s [[analyses]] of use [[value]] and [[exchange]] value, and starts his [[theory]] of "man-he" (<i>l'[[homme]]-il</i>). The "man-he" is also the man-standard and the man-stallion (<i>l'homme-étalon</i>), 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 [[masculine]] [[homosexuality]]. The [[Father]] of Freud's primal [[horde]], because he supposedly <i>jouis</i> all [[women]], sees "his <i>jouissance</i> 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, <i>ce dont on jouit</i>, and circulates as an object of <i>jouissance</i>: she is the locus of [[transference]] of this <i>jouissance</i> 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 resouirces, such as [[masquerade]], to act as "man-she," <i>l'homme-elle</i>. "She is inexpugnable as a woman precisely [[outside]] the system of the sexual act," or "she has a different use of her own <i>jouissance</i> outside this [[ideology]]." Thus, Lacan establishes "the radical [[heterogeneity]]" of the <i>jouissance</i> of the two [[sexes]] whose rapport could only be problematic. He begins here a [[reflection]] that will lead him to <i>[[Encore]]</i>, the twentieth seminar.

An [[English]] [[translation]] of [[Seminar XXI]], made from unpublished [[French]] transcripts, was made by a [[reading]] group associated with [http://www.lacaninireland.com ''Jacques Lacan in Ireland''] and arranged in a presentable [[form]] by Tony Hughes.
