	Lacan's Mirror Stage
		We have only to understand the mirror stage as an identification, in the full sense that analysis gives to the term; namely, the transformation that takes place in the subject when he assumes an image--whose predestination to this phase-effect is sufficiently indicated by the use, in analytic theory, of the ancient term imago.
		the specular "I" and the social "I": the mirror identification of the self, and the identification of the self that occurs in the realm of social expectations and norms.
		At the ending of the mirror stage, the "simple" relationship between the child and the reflected image that constitutes the "I" is exchanged for a structure in which desire is mediated through an other, outside of the spectral loop.

	Lacan: The Mirror Stage and Beyond (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In this stage, the infant recognizes him or herself in the mirror as a whole entity instead of the fragmented movements and undefined boundaries between self and other (baby and mom especially) that have constituted his or her world up to that point.
		The mirror stage "is a drama whose internal thrust is precipitated from insufficiency to anticipation." It creates fantasies of both a very fragmented body and an alienating identity, or the idea that our "self" is protecting something more real within, or perhaps keeping us from having "real" interactions with others.
		When baby looks in the mirror and has the complete vision of him or herself, it is an image in contrast with his or her actual experience of the world and the self as fragmented.

	Genders OnLine Journal - To Mirror Tomorrow: Reflections on Feminism and the Future
		Indeed, the mirror stage as the moment of the constitution of the ego as fiction invites analogy with postmodern fiction's open-ended structure, its resolute refusal to accede to a single culmination, in contrast to classical narrative's drives towards a definitive resolution.
		If feminism is in its mirror stage, strung between the poles of the corps morcelé of the retroactive glance and anxiety of influence of the anticipatory glance, it has also been stymied in the mire of difference, and thus of the subjective problems of recognition and misrecognition.
		Like the infant of the mirror stage, who is both active and passive before the mirror, the audience, stage crew, and actors in a theatrical performance are ambivalent participants, believing and not believing, sucked into the scene and standing outside it, forging ahead nonetheless to enact the dream.

		The mirror is a recurrent figure in metalanguages of media since antiquity, for philosophers and critics regularly sought recourse to analogies of this reflective surface in their attempts to elucidate the "nature" of one or another medium.
		Meanwhile, she would have to hold a flat mirror in front of the opposite side of the panel in such a way that the painted image was reflected in it.
		Manetti also emphasizes that the distance from the mirror to the hole near the beholder's uncovered eye had to be in a given proportion to the distance between the church and the point where Brunellesci stood while painting the image.

	Hygrometer: Principle of Operation CHILLED MIRROR HYGROMETERS
		The measurement of the water vapor content of a gas by the dew-point technique involves chilling a surface, usually a metallic mirror, to the temperature at which water on the mirror surface is in equilibrium with the water vapor pressure in the gas sample above the surface.
		In the chilled-mirror technique, a mirror is constructed from a material with good thermal conductivity such as silver or copper, and properly plated with an inert metal such as iridium, rubidium, nickel, or gold to prevent tarnishing and oxidation.
		It is desirable to know the state of the condensate because for a given mirror temperature, the vapor pressure in equilibrium with the condensate is higher for water and lower for ice.

		Third, the mirror’s gatekeeper function expands in the above passages to one of regulation, with the imago now being made responsible for reconciling the inner and the outer worlds of the subject, even though it is the distinction between those inner and outer worlds that made the imago necessary originally.
		Absent this exemption, the theoretical development of the mirror stage is impossible, not only because one could never satisfy the chain of signifiers, but also because the mirror itself would dissolve within the intermingling of the imaginary and symbolic.
		What isn't clear to me is why you think that the discussion of the mirror stage as a particular stage (a stage which can be interpreted and analyzed and thus treated symbolically) clashes with a distinction between the imaginary and the symbolic.

	Reflections On (Of) Nationalism
		Jacques Lacan's 'mirror stage,' wherein the construction of the ego is seen in terms of reflection in a mirror, would seem to be a valid theoretical model of the nationalist epistemology.
		Lacan calls this process the mirror stage, and sees it as part of the Imaginary order of identification the image of a subject being captated by a reflection, which is both idealized and at the same time frozen is a paradigm for the identificatory processes of nationalism.
		In terms of the nationalist Imaginary, to remain captated by this mirror stage is to deny a society any sense of growth or development; to fix the meaning of history, literature and race in Imaginary misrecognitions of fullness is to reduce three-dimensional life and growth to a two-dimensional image.

		In Lacan's reformulation of Sigmund Freud's theories of mental life, the mirror stage constitutes a critical phase in the development of the ego.
		Drawing on work in physiology and animal psychology, Lacan proposes that human infants pass through a stage in which an external image of the body (reflected in a mirror, or represented to the infant through the mother or primary caregiver) produces a psychic response that gives rise to the mental representation of an "I".
		For Lacan, the mirror stage establishes the ego as fundamentally dependent upon external objects, on an other.

	Lacan: The Mirror Stage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The idea of the "mirror stage" is an important early component in Lacan’s critical reinterpretation of the work of Freud.
		He presented a paper on the mirror stage on August 3, 1936, at a conference of the International Psychoanalytical Association in Marienbad.(It is to this conference that Lacan is referring in the first sentence of the essay).
		This publication in English is significant, as it contributed to the introduction of Lacanian theory, and specifically the model of the mirror stage, into leftist intellectual circles in Britain at the time when cultural studies was emerging as a field.

	Brief Introduction to Psychoanalytic Theory
		The oral stage, associated with the drive to "incorporate" objects through the mouth, is followed by the anal stage during which the anus becomes an erotogenic zone as the child takes pleasure in defecation.
		The anal stage is also associated with the desire for retention and possessive control (as in "granting or withholding" the faeces).
		During the symbiotic stage (one to six or seven months) the infant, as we saw in Lacan's "imaginary", has little if any sense of distinction between self and other, and is extremely sensitive to the moods and feelings of the caretaker.

	Canon Technology -Ultra-Large Stage Drive Train Technology-
		In response, Canon developed exposure equipment enabling the full-field exposure of panel sizes up to 2,160 x 2,400 mm, among the world’s largest, by adopting a large concave mirror roughly twice the size used in the previous system, and a large stage that moves 1.5 times faster than before.
		This stage, which uses vacuum suction to secure eighth generation glass panels measuring only 0.7 mm in thickness with a surface area of roughly 5m2, repeatedly moves and stops during the exposure process.
		Movement is performed by a linear motor installed in the stage while a laser interference sensor constantly monitors changes on the x and y axes as well as the rotation θ direction, and multiple motors maintain a horizontal orientation on the z axis.

		A small SBIG-237 CCD camera is mounted on an x-y stage on the side of the GAM and can be used to either acquire the target object using the solid mirror or for guiding with either the pellicle or the perforated mirror.
		This is typically done using the #1 (solid) mirror using a series of exposures to determine the position of the target and then determining the offset necessary to place the target onto the center of the fiber optic array.
		Once the telescope is positioned the GAM slide is positioned to bring the #3 mirror (with the central hole) into position such that the light from the target reaches the fiber optic array.

		I'm interested by your thermionic current mirror with diodes and pentode, as with a suitable choice of pentode and operating point, it should be possible to achieve quite a reasonable voltage swing.
		The non-linear resistance on the input is not nearly as bad as the exponential non-linearity in SS current mirrors, so actual scope measurements on the input will show some voltage swing, in fact, this swing will obviously match the operating voltage swing of the pentode grid in a given design.
		Another useful application of the current mirror could be as a linearity corrector for a SET amplifier, the diode input corrector (with additional resistor) gets applied to the input of the triode.

		Jacques Lacan's theory of the mirror stage is one way to understand the fascination/necessity/desire we have for images of the Other.
		Once we get to this stage of the symbolic (the mirror image is a symbol for the self), we can never go back to the state where we were a unified self, where there was no symbol separate from the self.
		The mirror stage creates the division between the whole person who we see in the mirror and the fractured person we are.

	Mirror stage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacques Lacan tells of the mirror stage in his essay "The Mirror stage as formative of the function of the I as revealed in psychoanalytic experience," which was published in English in Écrits: A Selection, first by Alan Sheridan in 1977, and more recently by Bruce Fink in 2002.
		In Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, the "mirror stage" (le stade du miroir) is the point in an infant's life when it may recognize its "self" in a mirror, and thus achieves consciousness of itself.
		Émile Jalley showed that Lacan owed his concept of the mirror stage to the work of psychologist Henri Wallon, who was in turn inspired by Freud.

		An extraordinarily complex argument is then introduced by means of which the whole mirror ordeal becomes the basis of an Oedipal drama; the outcome of this drama in Lacanian theory is that the child ‘enters language’ in the quest for a phallus or alternatively is ‘inserted’ into language.
		It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the theory of the mirror stage expresses the emotional distress of its creator more clearly than it represents the realities of childhood.
		Indeed, at one stage he virtually abandoned the complex and almost completely opaque rhetoric of his lectures in order to concentrate on discovering the formulae or ‘mathemes’ which he believed psychoanalytic truths could be reduced to.

		If Wallon's research on the mirror experiences of children and animals is included among the antecedents of Lacan's theory of the mirror stage, the question of beginnings and succession returns in a different guise.
		Because the mirror stage now replaces the nursing dyad and weaning as the governing structure of the psyche, it is not unexpected to find Lacan's anti-biologism once again suspended.
		The dark, agonistic aspect of the mirror stage (which cancels or mitigates the jubilation it brings) derives from a Hegelian-KojËvian version of the encounter between the subject and the other as a fight for "pure prestige," a life-and-death struggle for recognition on which independent self-consciousness is predicated.
