		The matheme is a concept introduced in the work of the 20th century French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan.
		They were intended to introduce some degree of technical rigour in philosophical and psychological writing, replacing the often hard-to-understand verbal descriptions with formulae resembling those used in the hard sciences, and as an easy way to hold, remember, and rehearse some of the core ideas of both Freud and Lacan.
		"Matheme", for Lacan, was not simply the imitation of science by philosophy, but the ideal of a perfect means for the integral transmission of knowledge.

	Fantasy - No Subject (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The matheme is to be read: the barred subject in relation to the object.
		The perverse fantasy inverts this relation to the object, and is thus formalized as a <> $.
		Although the matheme (S <> a) designates the general structure of the neurotic fantasy, Lacan also provides more specific formulas for the fantasy of the hysteric and that of the obsessional neurotic.

		One more thing, I did some thinking: apropos of ukasiac's question, to say that mathemes represent the unsymbolizable of language is not the same thing as saying it is a metalanguage.
		To go back to Gwen's question: If I understand your question, the matheme for object a is simply "a", for example, in the matheme for fantasy ($<>a), the "a" is objet a.
		In a way, the four discourses are the way language as such insofar as they are discourses are structured, or in another way, the matheme for the four discourses give body to the very consistency of language.

	Interventions
		From this moment onward, the public, not to mention the private, transmission of Lacan's psychoanalysis was implicated by the problem of a topological presentation of the knot.
		A presentation whose effect was to resituate the place of the 'sayable' in a psychoanalytic transmission, not by reducing it to silence in the formalization of the matheme, but in a problematic of the 'showable' and a real of formalization intrinsic to the knot.
		We are far from the psychoanalytic concept of the matheme as an abbreviation of what lacks sense and is impossible to think and pronounce as words — therefore necessary to write and show.

	Poetix » Blog Archive » Structuralism’s Prohibition of the Event
		The “matheme of the event” describes a kind of hyper-set, which the axiom of Foundation (which Badiou calls a “metaontological thesis of ontology”) defines as unfounded, and hence ab-surd for the purposes of the axiom system to which it belongs.
		I think the generous thing to do at this point is to allow an element of intrigue to enter the picture, and read on in the hope that the plot will eventually coalesce.
		The matheme of the event is dodgy, IMO, though I think the basic insight that eventality = ill-foundedness is correct.

		The matheme, in Badiou’s notion “thinks.” Here’s where he argues with wittgenstein, its in one of the first essays in “Theoretical writings” i don’t remember which.
		Basically, the arguement is, the matheme is not a representation of thought but a presentation of it.
		As such, the problem of interpretation is only a decayed version of the truth of the matheme.

		During this movement, "The passage from potentiality [of the concept] to act [filming] from language to the word, from common to the proper, comes about every time as a shuttling in both directions along a line of sparkling alternation on which common nature and singularity, potentiality and act change roles and interpenetrate" (20).

		This creates an opposition between the poem and the matheme (an aside: isn't this also a "math-aphor"?) where Heidegger has taken the side of the poetic as the true saying of being.
		Badiou is not outright rejecting Heidegger, but he is saying that the poetic is not the site where being qua being is presented, which remains set theory.
		For being is not that which appears naturally, but must be interpreted by the matheme as the poem was interpreted by the Greeks through the matheme (is this not somewhat anachronistic?).

	Alain Badiou - Lacan and the Pre-Socratics
		Far from opposing, as Heidegger did, the Pre-Socratic poem to Plato's matheme, Lacan has the powerful idea that poetry was the closest thing to mathematization available to the Pre-Socratics.
		Alternation, succession, framing: the figures of poetic rhetoric are branded, as if by an unconscious lightning flash, with the features of a mathematization to come; through poetry, Parmenides attests to the fact that the grasp of thought upon the Real can be established only by the regulated power of the letter.
		What matters here, however, is that we observe that, after noting the poetic anticipation of the free functioning of the matheme, Lacan credits the Pre-Socratics with an intuition that has far-reaching implications for the resources of truth inherent in sexual discord.

	Preface
		This margin enables you yourselves to say that you think you follow me, that is, that you remain in a problematic position, which always leaves the door open to a progressive rectification.
		In constructing my critical framework, I concentrate primarily on setting up a self/Other dynamic that I find applicable to both Stevens and Lacan, and I pay very little attention to the linguistic portion of Lacan's theory (I virtually ignore his later "matheme" stage).
		As a consequence, I realize that it may appear to some that I am practicing piecemeal theory, picking and choosing pieces of a whole theory outside its own theoretical context.

		For example, a fairly typical theoretical passage asserts that “if a fantasy is rendered ‘liveable’ only by its obedience of the ‘Law of desire’ (E:S 324) that stipulates the non-coincidence of $ and a, what would a defiance of that law entail?
		Without the mediating function of the nom du père, the constitutive lack in subjectivity could not take effect; the two terms of the matheme would therefore fall together, stranding what was situated as the subject in an unspeakable (although not necessarily psychotic) real” (113).
		If non-Lacanian readers squint a little they can usually figure out what is being conveyed in such sentences.
