[[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>[[jouissance]]</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]]." [[Psychoanalysis]] "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>

S1 refers to "the marked circle of the field of the [[Other]]," it is the [[Master-Signifier]]. S2 is the "battery of [[signifiers]], already there" at the [[place]] where "one wants to determine the status of a discourse as status of [[statement]]," that is knowledge - <i>[[savoir]]</i>. S1 comes into play in a signifying battery conforming the network of knowledge. <img srcfont face="lacansem1b1.gifLACAN" valignsize="bottom" height="11" width="123">S</font> is [[The Subject|the subject]], marked by the unbroken line - <i>[[trait]] [[unaire]]</i> - which represents it and is different from the [[living]] [[individual]] who is not the locus of this subject. Add the <i>[[objet]] a</i>, the [[object]]-waste or the [[loss]] of the object that ocurred when the originary division of the subject took place - the object that is the [[cause]] of desire: the <i>plus-de-[[jouir]]</i>.</font><p> [[Discourse of the Master]]:

It is the basic discourse from which the other three derive. The dominant [[position]] is occupied by the [[master signifier]], S1, which represents the [[subject]], S, for all other signifiers: S2. In this signifying operation there is a [[surplus]]: <i>[[objet a]]</i>. All attempts at totalisation are doomed to fail. This [[discourse]] masks the [[division]] of the [[subject]], it illustrates the [[structure]] of the [[dialectic]] of the [[master]] and the [[slave]]. The master, S1, is the [[agent]] who puts the slave, S2, to [[work]]: the result is a surplus, <i>objet a</i>, that the [[master]] struggles to appropriate.
[[Discourse of the University]]:

A the end of [[The Seminar|the seminar ]] Lacan adds the opposition between '[[impossibility]]' and '[[impotence]]' - <i>impuissance</i>: "the impossible is the real where [[speech]], as <i>objet a</i>, functions like a carrion" and "impotence protects truth." He states in his new [[translation]] of <i>[[Wo Es war, soll Ich werden|Wo Es War, soll Ich werden]]</i>, work is for the analyst and "<i>plus-de-jouir</i> is for you": "Where <i>plus-de-jouir</i> was, the <i>plus-de-jouir</i> of the other, me, insofar as I utter the [[psychoanalytic]] act, I must come."<br>
There is the story of the three Congolese, analyzed by Lacan after WWII: "Their [[unconscious]] functioned according to the rules of the [[Oedipus]] [[complex]], it was the unconscious that had been sold to [[them]] at the same [[time]] as the laws of colonization, an exotic [[form]] of the discourse of the Master, a [[regression]] before imperialist [[capitalism]]." Are the capitalistic or imperialistic [[discourses]] mentioned only metamorphoses of the discourse of the Master?<br>
As to the <i>envers</i> of psychoanalysis, sometimes it is the discourse of the Master when it functions as a foil. Sometimes it is unconscious discourse as the knowledge located where wrong and [[right]] sides ([[analytic]] discourse) cannot be separated, following the Moebius [[strip]]. "The <i>envers</i> is assonant with truth; one moves to the <i>envers</i>, but the <i>envers</i> does not explain any right side."
"[[Radiophonie]]" (<i>Autres écrits</i>) is an interview recorded while <i>L'envers...</i> is taking place. In it Lacan declares that if "[[language]] is the condition of the unconscious, the unconscious is the condition of [[linguistics]]." Freud anticipates [[Saussure]] and the Prague Circle when he sticks to the [[patient]]'s [[words]], [[jokes]], [[slips of the tongue]], and brings to light the importance of [[condensation]] and [[displacement]] in the production of [[dreams]]. The unconscious is the fact "that the subject is not the one who [[knows]] what he says. Whoever articulates the unconscious says that it is either that or [[nothing]]." Linguistics has no hold on the unconscious since it leaves as a blank that which produces effects on the unconscious, the <i>objet a</i>, the focus of the analytic act - of any act. "Only the discourse that defines itself in [[terms]] given by psychoanalysis manifests the subject as other, whereas science, by making the subject a master, conceals him, so the desire that gives way to him bars the subject for me without remedy." There is only one [[myth]] in Lacan's discourse: the [[Freudian]] [[Oedipus Complex|Oedipus complex]]. "In psychoanalysis, as well as in the unconscious, man knows nothing of woman, and woman nothing of man. The [[phallus]] epitomizes the point in myth where the [[sexual]] becomes the [[passion]] of the signifier." There is, however, no [[algebraic]] [[formula]] for the unconscious discourse: "...the unconscious is only the [[metaphorical]] term designating the knowledge only sustained when presented as impossible, so that it can conform by being real - real discourse."
