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]]'').
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>
==Description21 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'Seminar XXs 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' is s teaching. In the end of Encore, he introduces his famous booromean [[Lacanknot]]on which he's major ll [[work on ]] 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 particular he explores the question 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 femininejouissance".<noautolinks>==English translation==<!-- {{Right|<pdf width="425px" height="600px">File:THE-SEMINAR-OF-JACQUES-LACAN-XX.pdf</pdf>}} -->An English [[translation]] of [[desireSeminar]] that VIII was absent made by a [[reading]] group associated with [http://www.lacaninireland.com ''Jacques Lacan in Ireland''] and Cormac Gallagher from his earlier theory of the 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] ([phallushttps://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])
