=====Splitting of the Ego=====[[Freud]] talks about the "[[splitting of the ego]]" ([[GermanGr]]: . ''[[Ich-spaltung]]'', [[FrenchFr]]: . ''[[clivage du moi]]'') as a process -- observable in [[fetishism]] and [[psychosis]] -- whereby two contradictory attitudes come to exist side by side in the [[ego]]: -- acceptance and [[disavowal]].<ref>{{F}} (1940 [1938]) "Splitting of the Ego in the Process of Defence." [[SE]] XXIII, 1938. p.273</ref>

=====Split Subject=====[[Lacan]] expands the concept of ''[[Spaltung]]'' -- from a process unique to [[fetishism]] or [[psychosis]] -- to a general characteristic of [[subject]]ivity itself; the [[subject]] can never be anything other than [[split]], -- [[divided]] and [[alienation|alienated]] from himself.

The [[split]] or [[split| divided]] [[subject]] is [[symbolization|symbolised]] by the [[bar]] which strikes through the <i>'''S'''</i> to produce the [[bar]]red [[subject]], [[Image:StrikeS.gif]].<ref>{{E}} p.288</ref>

In his [[seminar]] of 1964-5 [[Lacan]] theorises the [[split]] [[|split subject]] in terms of a [[division]] between [[truth]] and [[knowledge]] (''[[savoir]]'').<ref>{{Ec}} p.856</ref>
