	U B U W E B :: Jacques Lacan
		Between 1969-1970, Jacques Lacan planned to give 4 conferences in the experimental-popular university of Vincennes (Paris), 4 "impromptus" about his formalisation of the 4 discourses (Discourse of the Hysteric, of the Master, of the University, of the Analyst).
		From 1953 to 1980, the Séminaire of the french psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) is the laboratory, the work-in-progress for his « Return to Freud »; project.
		Lacan's Séminaire was a singular place and moment, almost weekly, every year from november to june.

	Jacques Lacan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lacan was very active in the world of Parisian writers, artists and intellectuals of the time: he was a friend [1] of André Breton, Salvador Dalí and Pablo Picasso, and attended the mouvement Psyché founded by Maryse Choisy.
		Lacan also formulated the concepts of the Real, the Imaginary, and the Symbolic, which he used to describe the elements of the psychic structure.
		Lacan's notion of the Real is a very difficult concept which he, in his later years, worked to present in a structured, set-theory fashion, as mathemes.

	Lacan
		Lacan’s conception of the symbolic as "essentially a linguistic dimension" draws heavily on Saussure’s distinction between signifier and signified such that the symbolic is the realm of the signifier while the imaginary is the realm of the signified.
		Lacan’s conception of the symbolic, though it is informed by this concept in its totality, focuses on the realm of the signifier, locating the signified in the imaginary and that which is excluded from this binary in the real.
		Lacan refers to this movement as the asymptotic logic of desire, borrowing a mathematical term that denotes the perpetual progression of an arc toward an axis of a graph.

	Jacques Lacan [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Lacan articulates this 'decentring' of desire when he contends that what has happened to the biological needs of the individual is that they have become inseparable from, and importantly subordinated to, the vicissitudes of its demand for the recognition and love of other people.
		Lacan thus is drawing together his philosophical anthropology and his theorization of language when he defends the position that it is the consequence of 'castration' that subjects are debarred from immediate knowledge of what it is that the ‘phallic signifiers’ signify.
		Lacan's position is that, when subjects wish to speak about themselves, the subject of enunciation is always either anticipated- at the beginning of the speech-act; or else missed- at the end of the speech-act, whence it has come to be falsely identified with the ego.

	Jacques Lacan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Jacques Lacan (1901-81) tried to give Freud a contemporary intellectual significance, extricating his thought from the gloss of later commentators, and extending it in ways suggested but not achieved by Freud himself.
		Lacan had many contacts with Surrealism, and perhaps the exhibitionism, circularity and even charlatanry of his writings witness more truth to the unconscious than are to be found in the sober reflections of his contemporaries.
		Lacan's unconscious, which permeates all discourse, and thus undermines all the supposed stabilities of social and public life, was employed by left-wing thinkers viewing modern capitalism as repressive and irrational.

	Jacques-Alain Miller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Althusser assigned him the task of reading of "all of Lacan" and Miller carried out the task admiringly: it is him who asks Lacan the famous question: "Does your notion of the subject imply an ontology?" In time he would become instrumental in Lacan's Ecole Freudienne de Paris.
		When Lacan moves to the University of Vincennes - the Department of Psychoanalysis is renamed "Le Champ freudien" - Lacan becomes its director, and Jacques-Alain Miller the president.
		Lacan's dissolution of the École Française de Psychanalyse in 1980 is followed by the creation of La cause freudienne.

	PACK~ Jacques Marie Lacan
		Jacques Lacan was a French neo-Freudian who developed a psychoanalytical style based on Freud's work, but with a different approach.
		Lacan believed that the first stage of human life is preverbal, and because of this, images and rhythms are the dominant means of perceiving the world.
		Lacan refers to entry into the Symbolic Order as "castration." For Lacan, castration is not a physical experience but a symbolic one, embodying the introduction to language, rules, and regulations according to which society follows.

	Lacan, Jacques. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		A staunch critic of modern (particularly American) revisions of psychoanalytic theory, Lacan supported the traditional model of psychoanalysis espoused by Sigmund Freud.
		He argued that contemporary psychoanalytic theories had strayed too far from their roots in Freudian psychoanalysis, which held that there was constant conflict between the ego and the unconscious mind.
		Lacan argued that this conflict could not be resolved—the ego could not be “healed”—and pointed out that the true intention of psychoanalysis was analysis and not cure.

		She believes that Lacan's last years were marked by real diseases that were never diagnosed and that a number of important political decisions such as the dissolution of his school were actually taken by Jacques-Alain Miller.
		Any biography has to read like a novel, and Lacan is indeed a picturesque character -- less by his involvement in actual historical events (his role during the second World War was neither scandalous nor very heroic) than by his ability to make history, to embody a living history by a radical rethinking of psychoanalysis.
		Lacan is indeed a character by Balzac, as Roudinesco claims, even if her book often reads more like a novel by Norman Mailer.

		French psychiatrist Jacques Lacan (1901- 1981) tried to provide a philosophical basis for Freudianism, which gained him prestige in his native land.
		Lacan accorded "paramount importance to what is said" and posited parallels between the structure of language and the unconscious?which explains his particular influence on literary theorists.
		Lacan comes across as an often difficult figure; he often threw patients out or pulled their hair if they didn't speak enough to satisfy him (though these abbreviated sessions did not mean Lacan returned the high fees they paid).

		I love Lacan, and refer to him often in my own work in the Anthropology of Gender, but this particular book is rather befuddled and vague, and I would never submit my own students to it.
		If you're going to read Lacan, read some of the real stuff-- when he was actually putting forth new (and at the time, revolutionary) ideas like his essays on "The Mirror Stage", "The Form and Function of the Letter", and "Agressivity in Psychoanalysis"-- or, if you must, some of the early seminars.
