It takes [[place]] at a turning point in French [[politics]] after the events of May 68, and in the teaching of [[Jacques lacan|Jacques Lacan]]. [...] In ''Encore'' (whose cover shows Bernini's ''The Ecstasy of Saint Theresa'' as it stands in the [[Church]] of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome) the puzzle of the [[discourses]] recurs again and again, but the issue unfolds in the [[dimension]] that rules Lacan's teaching at least since ''Seminar'' XVI ''D'un [[Autre]] à l'autre''—''From an Other to the other''— (just before [[1968]]!) until its very end, until it becomes almost the dominant [[category]], that is ''jouissance''. (''Jouissance''posited as an absolute, see Chapter XIII of the ''[[Seminar XVI]]''). Thus this is no wonder that ''jouissance'' (of which one must not forget the [[legal]] origin, fruit and tenure) is introduced early in its opposition to the functional: "''Jouissance'' is what is useless." The [[superego]], the [[concept]] of [[Freud]]'s second [[topography]] to which he gave a repressive [[meaning]] ([[Kant]]'s [[Moral]] Law), Lacan did not consider it less brutal, but he also deems it [[obscene]], and changes its orientation by enjoining it ''Jouis!'' (Yes, I mean the Law, I heard, ''j'ouis'', her [[voice]], and she becomes my [[desire]]). And soon taking up residence in the field of sexuality, this approach brings about the following statements: a) "The ''jouissance'' of the Other, of the Other's [[body]] that symbolizes it, is not a [[sign]] of love." b) "Ultimately, one person's body is just a part of the Other's body." c) Finally,"…it is the Other who ''jouit''."<ref>Lacan J., Encore, [[The Seminar]] of [[Jacques lacan|Jacques Lacan]], Book XX, 1972-1973, New York: W.W. Norton, 1998, p.23.</ref> Then, "there is a [[hole]] there and that hole is called the Other."<ref>''Ibid'', p. 113</ref>] Later on Lacan will declare that "the Other doesn't [[exist]]." ===Sexuality===3. From then on a [[relationship]] between ''jouissance'' and sexuality is articulated (according to a [[topology]] that will be developed later on in the seminar), a relationship which cannot be reduced to the [[male]] and [[female]] orgasms, but one that will meet the obstacle of [[choice]] set up by [[psychoanalysis]], namely that "there is no [[sexual relationship]]" and that will be resolved by way of love, made up for its [[absence]]. "What makes up the [[Sexual Relationship|sexual relationship]] is, quite precisely, love."<ref>''Ibid'', p. 44</ref>[[Image:The_seminar_of_jacques_lacan_book_xx_encore_bruce_fink_2.jpg|border|300px|right]] 4. The ''Seminar'' XX performs as a theory on ''jouissance'' in its [[complex]] relationship with love, where Freud's emphasis on [[narcissism]] remains evident, and where the opposition between desire and love's [[demand]], which dominated the so-called "classical" [[Lacanian]] theory (we propose here a rather flexible periodization), is [[being]] [[displaced]] to a more central articulation and perhaps to a more consistent involvement with the deepening of the [[clinic]]: the opposition between phallic ''jouissance'', and that other ''jouissance'', the one Lacan named "supplementary ''jouissance''."<ref>''Ibid'', p. 72</ref> It will allow Lacan (in Chapter VI of the Seminar "God and Woman([[barred]]) ''Jouissance''") to assign to the mystical a point of fall (or) of [[real]]. As a result, the reputed mystical [[delusions]] are just "mere business of fucking." ===Phallic ''jouissance'' vs. feminine ''jouissance''===If phallic ''jouissance'' can encapsulate as a [[whole]] and in its more persistent [[meanings]] a whole range of [[psychoanalytic]] issues such as [[orgasm]] [[pleasure]], the pleasure [[principle]], sexual [[satisfaction]], sexual [[fetishism]], [[perversion]], etc., it has now to contend with this other dimension of itself, one that is often considered enigmatic, an other ''jouissance'', one called the other ''jouissance''. 5. So there, psychoanalysis feels embarrassed with this other ''jouissance'', and the following [[statement]] reveals the discomfort: "Were there another ''jouissance'' than phallic ''jouissance'', it shouldn't be/could never fail to be that one." From there on the [[paradox]] is established: in fact there is no other than phallic ''jouissance'' (such as orgasm, detumescence, the primacy of the [[phallus]], etc.) "except the one concerning which woman doesn't breathe a [[word]]." Psychoanalysis therefore assumes here that woman is capable of an unverifiable ''jouissance'', other (other than the one Charles de Brosses, a libertine from the eighteenth century, boasted to recognize in the traits of Bernini's ''Saint Theresa''). It is then necessary to Lacan to resort to a Stoic [[logic]] according to which [[truth]] is deduced from the [[false]]: "Suppose that there is [[another]] ([[true]]!)—but there isn't (false!)." The [[doubt]] remains, after all, and it weighs heavily: the male is intrigued and ponders over the [[notion]] that woman is not, is never whole, or ''encore'' that The woman (as a whole) does not exist. "There is a ''jouissance'' that is hers (the woman), that belongs to that ‘she' that doesn't exist and doesn't [[signify]] anything."<ref>''Ibid'', p. 74</ref> Hence the [[idea]] that we are dealing with "a ''jouissance'' that is in the realm of the infinite."<ref>''Ibid'', p. 103</ref>  And "Why not [[interpret]] one face of the [[Other, the]] God face, as based on feminine ''jouissance''?"<ref>''Ibid'', p. 77</ref> ==21 Novembre 1972==First [[session]]. « [[About]] [[jouissance]] ». Published in [[french]] as early as in 1975, Encore may be the most emblematic [[Lacan]]'s Séminaire. First, plenty of [[ideas]] developped in it are significant and will renew psychoanlytic [[theory]] for years; then, Lacan's style reaches its highest point in the countless ways he distorts [[language]] and plays with it. During Encore, the final [[formalization]] of the non-[[existence]] of the [[sexual]] rapport (with the [[sexuation]] [[formulas]] table) and the [[full]] completion of jouissance's theory will progressively give way to what will become the topologic period of Lacan's teaching. In the end of Encore, he introduces his famous booromean [[knot]] on which he'll [[work]] during his last 8 years. The US edition is called The [[Seminar]], Book XX : On [[feminine]] [[sexuality]], the limits of [[love]] and [[knowledge]] : Encore. In this first session, Lacan speaks about love and jouissance. ==20 Février 1973==A central (and really beautiful) session in this central Séminaire. Lacan speaks about the specificity of the [[feminine jouissance]] and the mystical jouissance. In the published version, the chapter is called "Dieu et la jouissance de La [[Femme]]" ("God and the jouissance of The [[Woman]] »).extract : "And why not [[interpreting]] a face of the [[Other]], the face of God, like supported by feminine jouissance".<noautolinks>==English translation==<!-- {{Right|<pdf width="425px" height="600px">File:THE-SEMINAR-OF-JACQUES-LACAN-XX.pdf</pdf>}} -->An English [[translation]] of [[Seminar]] VIII was made by a [[reading]] group associated with [http://www.lacaninireland.com ''Jacques Lacan in Ireland''] and Cormac Gallagher from unedited French manuscripts, and arranged in a presentable [[form]] by Tony Hughes.* [http://www.lacaninireland.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Book-20-Encore.pdf Download] ([https://mega.nz/#!CKxG2SiJ!vJFAafWuS2H3jc_xnKoCy85PsGPWXbS6IS0ZMJV9rIA Mirror])* [http://www.lacaninireland.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/THE-SEMINAR-OF-JACQUES-LACAN-XX.pdf Download] (Different version) ([https://mega.nz/#!qGxm1ATb!mlYBteaY8wEVnZ0EWrMgL6cxZHIQH7xc3ZnPxom8vzU Mirror]) {|class="wikitable sortable" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" style="width:100%;"!Author(s)!Title!Publisher!Year!Pages!Language!Size!Filetype!Downloads|-|[[Jacques Lacan]], Jacques-Alain Miller, Bruce Fink|On Feminine Sexuality, the Limits of Love and Knowledge: The Seminar of Jacques Lacan, Book XX, Encore<BR>''<small>0393319164, 9780393319163, 0393045730, 9780393045734</small>''| W.
