	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 of André Breton, Salvador Dali and Picasso.
		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 was described by Noam Chomsky (who had "met him several times") as "an amusing and perfectly self-conscious charlatan, though his earlier work, pre-cult, was sensible and I've discussed it in print".

	Lacan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		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.

		Lacan says that the contents of the unconscious are acutely aware of language, and particularly of the structure of language.
		Lacan says those relations of signification don't exist (in the unconscious, at least); rather, there are only the negative relations, relations of value, where one signifier is what it is because it's not something else.
		Lacan, on the other hand, says that the process of becoming an adult, a "self," is the process of trying to fix, to stabilize, to stop the chain of signifiers so that stable meaning--including the meaning of "I"--becomes possible.

	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 - Philosopher - Biography
		His break with the IPA was based on major disagreements Lacan had with the ego psychology of the group, which placed the ego at the origin of psychic stability.
		Lacan argued against therapeutic pretensions, claiming that the ego could never be "healed", and that the true intension of psychoanalysis was never cure, but analysis itself.
		Lacan translated Martin Heidegger's work into French and the evidence of Heidegger's influence can be read in Lacan's essay The Function and Field of Speech in Psychoanalysis, in which he concentrates on the idea that subjectivity is symbolically constituted.

	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).

	Lacan Derrida
		Lacan is quoted as saying to René Girard, in Baltimore: "Yes, yes, but the difference between him (Derrida) and myself is that he has nothing to do with the people who suffer".
		And, nonetheless, Lacan is also right: because what represents a hiatus in our understanding, a radical difference in their respective practices, is that the psychoanalyst must deal with the problem of psychosis.
		In this sense, it may be fitting to point out that Lacan, even in his early work, since the 11th Seminar, where he proposed the model of the fish trap, where the object a places itself in the hole that enables its opening and closing, that is, the temporary pulsation of the unconscious.

		Lacan was infamous for his unorthodox methods of treatment, such as the truncated therapy session, which often lasted only several minutes.
		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.

	PLEXUS / Lacanian Ink: Jacques-Alain Miller - Joyce avec Lacan - Preface (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		No, Joyce avec Lacan echoes the singular title of a piece by Lacan, Kant avec Sade, where the already numerous readers of l'Éthique de la psychanalyse could find, if they made the effort of tracing it, the major topic of this seminar, developed, or further illuminated.
		At the place where there was an always autistic jouissance, analysis causes the effects of the signified to arise; it operates on the symptom while introducing a special effect of signification, called "the subject-supposed-to-know," but in itself, the symptom says nothing to anyone: it is ciphering and jouissance, it is pure jouissance of such writing.
		I hope these lines sufficiently convey the fact that there is not a single phrase of Lacan, as opaque as it may seem on the reader's first approach, that is not explainable in an actual "order of reasons," again illuminating the yet unperceived—at once with the analytic experience.

	Haber's Art Reviews: Who Is Jacques Lacan?
		Lacan was fascinated by Sigmund Freud's earliest discovery—unconscious desires, as revealed through free associations and dreams.
		Lacan is as dense as ever, but Derrida is formidable for a different reason, one already announced in his title's virtuosity.
		Lacan may seem to play around, but for him lack is all too real, the essential subject of psychoanalysis.

	[No title]
		By contrast, Lacan's linguistics-influenced, Saussurean, and to that extent structuralist account of mental processes nevertheless situates their range from "Imaginary" to "Symbolic" within a larger extra-representational (and, indeed, extra-psychological) field, that of "the Real," which (for Jameson) guarantees the "materialism" of Marxism and psychoanalysis both.
		Lacan's prose is calculated to confound every possible logic of "argument" or "position," yet Jameson is not alone in the dilemma that discussion of Lacan is obliged to ascribe something argument- or position-like to him in order to conduct itself at all.
		For all Lacan's sarcasms at the expense of "%le sujet suppose savoir%," it is just such a "knowingness" that Lacan's prose projects: a knowingness, notably, from which the reader is excluded.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		This explanation of Neo’s alienation from his world is in some ways very reminiscent of Lacan’s theory of desire, especially if one were to position ‘the matrix’ as the symbolic structure held in the unconscious and ‘reality’ (the world of the machines and Zion) as the impossible, unattainable and yet desired ‘Real’.

	Psychoanalytic Theory: Terms and Concepts
		Freud and Lacan both locate the center of cultural organization and the formation of the subject in the family and sexual differentiation; the signifying activities of both the unconscious and the preconscious are centered in the Oedipal experience, and the Western symbolic order derives its coherence from the phallus or paternal signifier.
		Like most poststructuralists Lacan attacks what he generally calls the subject, the subject supposed to know, the subject of certainty, the Cartesian subject, the subject of science etc. Often this reads as if he is attacking the notion of the self in general, but this is not so.
		Lacan mapped on to Freud's concept of the oedipal process -- crossing the frontier out of the Imaginary, the dyadic world of mother and child, to the Father's name and his Law; this is the realm of the Symbolic.

	MATHEMATICS ON LACAN'S COUCH< (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Whilst Lacan may not be concerned with mathematics education, he is concerned with minds that address things like mathematics, teaching and learning.
		Lacan speaks of the unconscious being structured like a language - a play of differences where meaning is only derived from the interplay of successive terms.
		Following Lacan we might examine the pre-ideological mythical intention with which we position ourselves in language and the way in which an ideology implies and produces a pre-ideological enjoyment structured in fantasy.

	Lacan: Key Concepts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In the Oedipal Complex, as Lacan casts it, the subject passes from a register of imaginary fusions with the world and with others (The Imaginary) into language (the Symbolic).
		Lacan almost describes this as a fall from Edenic presence and fusion into a post-lapsarian world of subject and object, division and desire.
		Lacan's notion of desire is, at its heart, a desire for wholeness--a "hole in the self" that the subject attempts to close through an endless, metonymic chain of supplements: the perfect car, the perfect boyfriend, a tenure track job, etc. But as soon as one supplement is acquired, desire moves onto something else.

	Other Voices 1.3 (January 1999), Jean-Micheal Rabaté, "Bonjour Monsieur Lacan," review of Elisabeth Roudinesco, ...
		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.

		In Lacan's framework it is an enunciation, a risk that the subject undertakes and that characterises her as a human being.
		Lacan hints at why the social formation has allowed a progressive weakening of the mater's discourse and substituted the university discourse for it.

	Norman N. Holland, The Trouble(s) with Lacan
		As we have seen, Lacan approximates Jakobson's metonymy (roughly, sequence) and Jakobson's metaphor (roughly, substitution) to Freud's "condensation" and "displacement," and in turn to other linguists' "syntagm" and "paradigm." In other words, what he does is say that these linguistic entitities are in fact psychological entities.
		Lacan is using a formal theory of language to explain empirical events in the mind.
		Lacan then goes on to claim that the infant makes a judgment, namely that this image is unified, coherent, more so than the infant.

	Critical Theory: Jacques Lacan

		As his theoretical positions continued to develop, Lacan and his followers went on to found the Ecole Freudienne in Paris in 1964.
		Concerned that the Ecole was losing its integrity, Lacan dissolved it in 1980.

		To understand Lacan, I've always had to turn to film theory critism--Laura Mulvey--but none of that ever goes beyond theories of the gaze, neglecting to dispell the mystery around some of the most basic concepts of Lacan.
		Read him only if you have already understood Lacan!" This is, of course, the typically cultish--really Catholic--approach to Lacan that treats him as a holy text, pre-supposes a series of high priests who have been properly anoited and through whom one must receive the officially sanctioned interpretation.
		You will not find here an explanation or an introduction to Lacan, but rather a Lacanian reading or interpretation of some products of popular culture (novels, short stories and films.) If you are looking for an easy or brief rendering of Lacan, this book will not be of much help.
