[[Lacan]] identifies four viables types of social bond which regulate [[intersubjective]] relations. Articulations of the [[symbolic]] network, the [[Four Discourses]] get [[structure]]d throughout dramatic reflection: <i>[[plus-de-jouir]]</i> and <i>[[jouisancejouissance]]</i>; the [[master]] and the [[slave]]; [[Marx]]; [[knowledge]], [[truth]] and <i>[[jouissance]]</i>; the [[Father]] of <i>[[Totem and Taboo]]</i> who is all love - or all <i>jouissance</i> - and whose murder generates the [[love]] of the [[Dead]] [[Father]], a [[father]] to whom [[Lacan]] opposes both the [[Father]] presiding over the first idealization - the one deserving [[love]] - and the [[Father]] who enters the [[discourse of the Master]] and is thereby [[castrate]]d <i>ab initio</i>. For [[Lacan]] "the [[death]] of the [[father]] is the key to supreme <i>[[jouissance]]</i>, later identified with the [[mother]] as [[aim]] of [[incest]]." [[PsychoanalyisPsychoanalysis]] "is not constructed on the proposition 'to sleep with the mother' but on the death of the father as primal <i>[[jouissance]]</i>." The [[real]] [[father]] is not the father of biological reality, be he who upholds "the Real as impossible." From the [[Oedipus complex]] [[Lacan]] only saves the [[paternal metaphor]] and the [[Name-of-the-Father]] which "is positioned where [[knowledge]] acts as [[truth]]. [[Psychoanalysis]] consolidates the [[law]]."<br>
The novelty in this [[seminar]] is the return of the [[hysteric]], with <i>Dora</i> and <i>la Belle Bouche erre</i> - the Beautiful Mouth wanders - an allusion to the dream of the beautiful butcher's wife analyzed by [[Freud]] and carried on in "The direction of the treatment and the principles of power" (<i>[[Écrits: A Selection]]</i>). Three questions: the rapport between <i>[[jouissance]]</i> and the [[desire]] for unfulfilled desire; the [[hysteric]] who makes man - <i>fait l'homme</i> or the [[Master]] - she constructs him as "a man prompted by the desire to know"; a new conception of the cure as a "hystericizaton of dicourse," which the [[analyst]] introduces at the structural level. This leaves untouched hysteria as attributed to woman - the only [[discourse]] where [[sexual difference]] comes openly into play. [[Castration]] is "the deprivation of [[woman]]," insofar as "she would fulfill herself in the smallest [[signifier]]." [[Woman]] is [[absent]] from the field of the [[signifier]].<br>
