==Mirror Stage===Little Other=====The [[specular image]] refers to the ''reflection '' of one's own [[fragmented body|body]] in the [[mirror stage|mirror]], the [[specular image|image]] of oneself which is simultaneously ''oneself '' and ''[[other]] '' -- the "'''[[little other]]'''".
=====Identification=====It is by '''[[identification|identifying]] ''' with the [[specular image]] that the [[mirror stage|infant]] first begins to construct its '''[[ego]] ''' in the '''[[mirror stage]]'''.
=====Mirror Stage=====Even when there is no real [[mirror stage|mirror]], the [[mirror stage|infant]] sees its behaviour reflected in the imitative gestures of an adult or another [[mirror stage|child]]; these imitative gestures enable the other person to function as a [[specular image]].
=====Captation=====The [[nature|human]] [[being]] is completely [[captation|captivated ]] by the [[specular image]].
=====Imaginary=====This is the basic reason for the power of the '''[[imaginary]] ''' in the [[subject]].
=====Non-Specularizable=====There are certain things which have no [[specular image]], which are not "'''specularizable'''."
These are the [[phallus]], the [[partial object|erogenous zones]], and ''[[objet petit a]]''.
