Meaning is produced not only by the relationship between the signifier and the signified but also, crucially, by the position of the signifiers in relation to other signifiers. Jacques Lacan
A geometry implies the heterogeneity of locus, namely that there is a locus of the Other. Regarding this locus of the Other, of one sex as Other, as absolute Other, what does the most recent development in topology allow us to posit? Jacques Lacan
We emphasize that such a form of communication is not absent in man, however evanescent a naturally given object may be for him, split as it is in its submission to symbols. Jacques Lacan
...Desire, a function central to all human experience, is the desire for nothing nameable. And at the same time this desire lies at the origin of every variety of animation. If being were only what it is, there wouldn’t even be room to talk about it. Being comes into existence as an exact function of this lack. Jacques Lacan
Jacques Lacan quote: "For the signifier is a unit in its very uniqueness, being by..."
For the signifier is a unit in its very uniqueness, being by nature symbol only of an absence. Jacques Lacan
But this emphasis would be lavished in vain, if it served, in your opinion, only to abstract a general type from phenomena whose particularity in our work would remain the essential thing for you, and whose original arrangement could be broken up only artificially. Jacques Lacan
Writings scatter to the winds blank checks in an insane charge. And were they not such flying leaves, there would be no purloined letters. Jacques Lacan
Jacques Lacan quote: "The reason we go to poetry is not for wisdom, but for the..."
The reason we go to poetry is not for wisdom, but for the dismantling of wisdom Jacques Lacan
The knowledge that there is a part of the psychic functions that are out of conscious reach, we did not need to wait for Freud to know this! Jacques Lacan
I think where I am not, therefore I am where I do not think. I am not whenever I am the plaything of my thought; I think of what I am where I do not think to think. Jacques Lacan
As is known, it is in the realm of experience inaugurated by psychoanalysis that we may grasp along what imaginary lines the human organism, in the most intimate recesses of its being, manifests its capture in a symbolic dimension. Jacques Lacan
Aside from that reservation, a fictive tale even has the advantage of manifesting symbolic necessity more purely to the extent that we may believe its conception arbitrary. Jacques Lacan
Psychoanalysis is a terribly efficient instrument, and because it is more and more a prestigious instrument, we run the risk of using it with a purpose for which it was not made for, and in this way we may degrade it. Jacques Lacan
Jacques Lacan quote: "The Mirror Stage as formative in the function of the I as..."
The Mirror Stage as formative in the function of the I as revealed in psychoanalytic experience. Jacques Lacan
I always speak the truth. Not the whole truth, because there's no way, to say it all. Saying it all is literally impossible: words fail. Yet it's through this very impossibility that the truth holds onto the real. Jacques Lacan
