===Object of Desire===<br />
In 1957, when [[Lacan]] introduces the [[matheme]] of [[fantasy]] ('''$ <> <i>a</i>'''), ''a'' begins to be conceived as the [[object]] of [[desire]]. This is the [[imaginary]] [[part-object]], an element which is imagined as separable from the rest of the [[body]]. Lacan now begins to distinguish between ''a'', the [[object]] of [[desire]], and the [[specular image]], which he now symbolizes ''i(a)''.<br />
<br />
===Agalma===<br />
In the seminar of 1960-1, [[Lacan]] articulates the ''[[objet (petit) a|objet petit a]]'' with the term ''[[agalma]]'' (a Greek term meaning glory, an ornament, an offering ot the gods, or a little statue of a god) which he extracts from [[Plato]]'s ''[[Plato|Symposium]]''. Just as the ''[[agalma]]'' is a precious [[object]] hidden inside a relatively worthless box, so the ''[[objet (petit) a|objet petit a]]'' is the [[object]] of [[desire]] which we seek in the [[other]].<ref>{{S8}} p. 177</ref><br />
<br />
===Object-Cause of Desire===<br />
From 1963 onwards, '''<i>a</i>''' comes increasingly to acquire connotations of the [[real]], although it never loses its [[imaginary]] status; in 1973 [[Lacan]] can still say that it is [[imaginary]].<ref>{{S20}} p. 77</ref> From this point on, ''[[objet (petit) a|a]]'' denotes the [[object]] which can never be attained, which is really the [[cause]] of [[desire]] rather than that towards which [[desire]] tends; this is why [[Lacan]] now calls it the "[[objet (petit) a|object-cause]]" of [[desire]].<br />
<br />
===Object of Drive===<br />
''[[objet (petit) a|Objet petit a]]'' is any [[object]] which sets [[desire]] in motion, especially the [[partial object]]s which define the [[drive]]s. The [[drive]]s do not seek to attain the ''[[objet (petit) a|objet petit a]]'', but rather circle round it.<ref>{{S11}} p. 179</ref><br />
<br />
===Object of Anxiety, Libido===<br />
''[[Objet petit a]]'' is both the object of [[anxiety]], and the final irreducible reserve of [[libido]].<ref>{{S10}} [[Seminar]] of 16 January 1963.</ref><br />
<br />
===Position of the Analyst===<br />
It plays an increasingly important part in [[Lacan]]'s concept of the [[treatment]], in which the [[analyst]] must situate himself as the [[semblance]] of ''[[objet (petit) a|objet petit a]]'', the [[cause]] of the [[analysand]]'s [[desire]].<br />
<br />
===Surplus Enjoyment===<br />
In the [[seminar]]s of 1962-3 and of 1964, ''[[Objet (petit) a|objet petit a]]'' is defined as the leftover, the remainder ([[Fr]]. ''[[reste]]''), the remnant left behind by the introduction of the [[symbolic]] in the [[real]]. This is developed further in the [[seminar]] of 1969-70, in which [[Lacan]] elaborates his [[algebra|formulae]] of the [[four discourses]]. In the [[discourse]] of the [[master]], one [[signifier]] attempts to represent the [[subject]] for all other [[signifier]]s, but inevitably a [[surplus]] is always produced; this [[surplus]] is ''[[Objet (petit) a|objet petit a]]'', a [[surplus]] [[meaning]], and a [[surplus|surplus enjoyment]] ([[Fr]]. ''[[surplus|plus-de-jouir]]''). This concept is inspired by [[Marx]]'s concept of [[surplus value]]; ''[[Objet (petit) a|a]]'' is the excess of ''[[jouissance]]'' which has no "[[use value]]" but persists for the mere sake of [[enjoyment]].<br />
<br />
===Semblance===<br />
In 1973, [[Lacan]] links ''[[Objet (petit) a|objet petit a]]'' to the concept of [[semblance]], asserting that ''''[[Objet (petit) a|a]]'''' is a "semblance of being."<ref>{{S20}} p.87</ref><br />
<br />
===Borromean knot===<br />
In 1974 he places it at the center of the [[Borromean knot]], at the place where the [[order|three order]]s ([[real]], [[symbolic]] and [[imaginary]]) all intersect.<br />
