==Introduction to Encore==
<small>''(The following is an excerpt from an [https://www.lacan.com/symptom14/introduction-to.html "Introduction to Encore" by Francois Regnault])''</small><BR>
1. The ''Seminar'' XX, which Jacques Lacan called ''Encore'', was delivered between December 12, 1972 and June 26, 1975. It takes place at a turning point in French politics after the events of May 68, and in the teaching of Jacques Lacan.
The events of May 68 had resulted in Seminar XVII, ===''Jouissance''===The ''The Other Side of PsychoanalysisSeminar'' (whose cover shows Daniel Cohn-Bendit facing a member of the CRS, the French mobile police forces), an upside down resumption of the Freudian project XX, which also resorts to another “reverse,” like the one invented by Balzac in [[Jacques lacan|Jacques Lacan]] called ''The Seamy Side of HistoryEncore''that digs another hollow space in the heart of the city; the other side would be what psychoanalysis tries to keep away from, making a detour to a better addresswas delivered between December 12, for example1972 and June 26, the discourse of the Master1975. Indeed Lacan sets up his theory of It takes [[place]] at a turning point in French [[politics]] after the four discourses, which are four different forms events of arrangements between the subject and the Other, more exactly between the subjectMay 68, its signifiers and knowledge, on in the one hand, and the rest that results from this same arrangement, called surplus-''jouir'' (''plus-de-jouir'')teaching of [[Jacques lacan|Jacques Lacan]]. We run here into a reference made to profit, the “bonus” which according to Marx results from the capitalist mode of production[. Therefore we find ourselves in a political dimension that belongs to the unconscious and which authorizes the expression: “The unconscious is politics.” Social ties (there is two for socializing) between these instances, which Lacan calls “discourse.”]
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]]'').
2. In Thus this is no wonder that ''Encorejouissance'' (whose cover shows Bernini’s 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 Ecstasy [[superego]], the [[concept]] of Saint Theresa[[Freud]]'s second [[topography]] to which he gave a repressive [[meaning]] ([[Kant]]'as s [[Moral]] Law), Lacan did not consider it stands in the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome) the puzzle of the discourses recurs again less brutal, but he also deems it [[obscene]], and againchanges its orientation by enjoining it ''Jouis!'' (Yes, but I mean the issue unfolds in the dimension that rules Lacan’s teaching at least since Law, I heard, ''Seminarj'ouis' XVI ', 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 'D’un Autre à l’autre'jouissance'—''From an  of the Other to , of the otherOther's [[body]] that symbolizes it, is not a [[sign]] of love." b) "Ultimately, one person'—(s body is just before 1968!a part of the Other's body." c) until its very endFinally, until it becomes almost "…it is the dominant category, that is Other who ''jouissancejouit''. ("<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>''JouissanceIbid''posited as an absolute, see Chapter XIII of the 'p. 113</ref>] Later on Lacan will declare that "the Other doesn'Seminar'' XVI)t [[exist]]."
Thus this is no wonder that ===Sexuality===3. From then on a [[relationship]] between ''jouissance''  and sexuality is articulated (of which one must not forget according to a [[topology]] that will be developed later on in the legal originseminar), fruit and tenure) is introduced early in its opposition a relationship which cannot be reduced to the functional: “''Jouissance'' is what is useless.” The superego[[male]] and [[female]] orgasms, but one that will meet the concept obstacle 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 [[choice]] set up by enjoining it ''Jouis!'' (Yes, I mean the Law, I heard, ''j’ouis'', her voice[[psychoanalysis]], namely that "there is no [[sexual relationship]]" 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 will be resolved by way of love, made up for its [[absence]].” b) “Ultimately, one person’s body is just a part of "What makes up the Other’s body.” c) Finally,“…it [[Sexual Relationship|sexual relationship]] is the Other who ''jouit''.”<ref>Lacan J., Encorequite precisely, The Seminar of Jacques Lacan, Book XX, 1972-1973, New York: W.W. Norton, 1998, p.23love.</ref> Then, “there is a hole there and that hole is called the Other.”"<ref>''Ibid'', p. 11344</ref>[[Image:The_seminar_of_jacques_lacan_book_xx_encore_bruce_fink_2.jpg|border|300px|right]] Later on Lacan will declare that “the Other doesn’t exist.”
34. From then on The ''Seminar'' XX performs as a relationship between theory on ''jouissance'' and sexuality is articulated  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 (according to we propose here a topology that will be developed later on in the seminarrather flexible periodization), is [[being]] [[displaced]] to a relationship which cannot be reduced more central articulation and perhaps to a more consistent involvement with the deepening of the male and female orgasms, but one that will meet [[clinic]]: the obstacle of choice set up by psychoanalysisopposition between phallic ''jouissance'', namely that “there is no sexual relationship” and that will be resolved by way of loveother ''jouissance'', made up for its absence. “What makes up the sexual relationship is, quite precisely, loveone Lacan named "supplementary ''jouissance''.”"<ref>''Ibid'', p. 4472</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."
4===Phallic ''jouissance'' vs. The feminine ''Seminarjouissance'' XX performs as a theory on ===If phallic ''jouissance'' in  can encapsulate as a [[whole]] and in its complex relationship with lovemore persistent [[meanings]] a whole range of [[psychoanalytic]] issues such as [[orgasm]] [[pleasure]], the pleasure [[principle]], sexual [[satisfaction]], where Freud’s emphasis on narcissism remains evidentsexual [[fetishism]], and where the opposition between desire and love’s demand[[perversion]], which dominated the so-called “classical” Lacanian theory (we propose here a rather flexible periodization)etc., is being displaced it has now to a more central articulation and perhaps to a more consistent involvement contend with the deepening this other dimension of the clinic: the opposition between phallic ''jouissance''itself, and one that is often considered enigmatic, an other ''jouissance'', one called the one Lacan named “supplementary other ''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.”
If 5. So there, psychoanalysis feels embarrassed with this other ''jouissance'', and the following [[statement]] reveals the discomfort: "Were there another ''jouissance'' than phallic ''jouissance'' can encapsulate as a whole and , it shouldn't be/could never fail to be that one." From there on the [[paradox]] is established: in its more persistent meanings a whole range of psychoanalytic issues fact there is no other than phallic ''jouissance'' (such as orgasm pleasure, detumescence, the primacy of the pleasure principle[[phallus]], sexual satisfactionetc.) "except the one concerning which woman doesn't breathe a [[word]]." Psychoanalysis therefore assumes here that woman is capable of an unverifiable ''jouissance'', sexual fetishismother (other than the one Charles de Brosses, perversiona libertine from the eighteenth century, etcboasted 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 has now 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 contend with this other dimension of itselfthat ‘she' that doesn't exist and doesn't [[signify]] anything."<ref>''Ibid'', one p. 74</ref> Hence the [[idea]] that we are dealing with "a ''jouissance'' that is often considered enigmatic, an other in the realm of the infinite."<ref>''jouissanceIbid'', p. 103</ref>  And "Why not [[interpret]] one called face of the [[Other, the other ]] God face, as based on feminine ''jouissance''?"<ref>''Ibid'', p.77</ref>
 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'').

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 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".
