 | | Lacan says that the contents of the unconscious are acutely aware of language, and particularly of the structure of language. | | | Lacan notes that Freud's dream analyses, and most of his analyses of the unconscious symbolism used by his patients, depend on word-play--on puns, associations, etc. that are chiefly verbal. | | | Lacan reinterprets Freud in light of structuralist and post-structuralist theories, turning psychoanalysis from an essentially humanist philosophy or theory into a post-structuralist one. |

| | Jacques Lacan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The central pillar of Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theory is that the unconscious is structured like a language. | | | 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 took up the study of medicine in 1920 and specialised in psychiatry from 1926. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Jacques Lacan |
| | Jacques Lacan (1901-1981) was a French psychoanalyst who initially trained in psychiatric medicine, and eventually became one of the most important figures in the history of psychoanalytic theory. | | | Lacan’s work now has a strong and abiding place within literary and cultural theory in the Anglo-American world, but the clinical aspect of his theories, which is crucial to understanding his work, has yet to be fully incorporated by the critical reception. | | | Lacan is arguably the leading figure, after Freud, in the effort to bring psychoanalytic thought into dialogue with other disciplines, and he is largely responsible for the place occupied by psychoanalysis today in literary and cultural theory. |

| | Jacques Lacan |
| | 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. | | | Lacan refashioned Freudian psychiatry, and suggested that the unconscious was structured like a language, thereby giving a key role to semiotics and dissolving the usual boundaries between the rational and irrational. | | | Lacan's unconscious is structured like a language, which gives language a key role in construction our picture of the world, but also allows the unconscious to enter into that understanding and dissolve essential distinctions between fantasy and reality. |

| | PACK~ Jacques Marie Lacan |
| | Lacan re-read Freud's theories and revised them, placing central emphasis on the role of language in structuring both the conscious and unconscious mind. | | | 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. | | | The most important difference was Lacan's view that the unconscious mind is not a dark and seething place of anarchic passions and drives, but formed in a structure very much like language and therefore potentially available to far more systematic analysis than Freud himself had imagined. |

| | Jacques Lacan - Philosopher - Biography |
| | 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. | | | 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. | | | It was this combination of the theoretical and the clinical that would become Lacan's practice and inform what he would call his "return to Freud." In his lifetime, Lacan extended the field of psychoanalysis into philosophy, linguistics, literature and mathematics, through close readings of Freud and continued clinical practice. |

| | The cult of Lacan: Freud, Lacan and the mirror-stage |
| | [25] Preface by Lacan to Anika Lemaire, Jacques Lacan, RKP. | | | Lacan’s theory, on this view, is a fiction created by an intellectual in order to alleviate his own emotional predicament. | | | Lacan’s need to feed upon the stones of difficult intellectual truth was certainly not satisfied by Kojeve’s seminar or even by his encounter with the thought of Heidegger. |

| | 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's distinction between the subject of the enunciated and the subject of the enunciated can be exposed further through examining his treatment of the liar's paradox. | | | 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. |

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

| | Very few sessions were previously written up by Lacan, so a stenographer had to transcribe the whole sessions (http://www.ecole-lacanienne.net/bibliotheque.php?id=13). | | | You could see lacanian analysts, some patients of these analysts, students, artists or intellectuals (for example, Philippe Sollers is known for frequenting the Séminaire in the 70's). | | | In this session, Lacan talks about the father's death as a condition of the jouissance for the subject ; that's what Oedipus myth or Freud's Totem and Taboo do illustrate. |

| | 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). | | | Viewing language as a mirror of the unconscious mind, Lacan developed an innovative interpretation of Freud's theories using the methodology of structural linguistics. |

| | Other Voices 1.3 (January 1999), Jean-Micheal Rabaté, "Bonjour Monsieur Lacan," review of Elisabeth Roudinesco, ... |
| | His genius did not only consist in a rewriting of Freudian theory, but also in a revision of the medical discourse of psychiatry which is full of momentous consequences for the whole spectrum of the "human sciences" -- including philosophy, linguistics, aesthetics, anthropology, and political science. | | | Similarly, Roudinesco has very strong opinions on clinical issues, and explains the personal and institutional logics that led Lacan to the "variable session" and to the final practice of the "short" if not "very short" session. | | | They have to do with the way the Lacanian legacy has become indistinguishable from his own person, which is unavoidable in such a case, as we know when thinking of Freud's own legacy. |

| | Jacques Lacan - Elizabeth Grosz - Microsoft Reader eBook |
| | Lacan's account of the genesis of the ego, his understanding of the sexual drives and his notion of the 'unconscious structured like a language' provide the background needed to conceptualise how he understands relations between the sexes, especially love relations. | | | Elizabeth Grosz focuses on the controversial texts of French psychoanalyst, Jacques Lacan, analysing and assessing them from a feminist point of view. | | | In particular the back outlines Lacan's subversive conceptualisation of the human subject as a fundamentally divided being; split bilogically, sexually, linguistically and socially. |

| | Lacan: Key Concepts |
| | 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. | | | While all of them agree it's important, some critics say the term "the Phallus" has as many as eight meanings and as few as one meaning in Lacan's work. | | | This is one of our first losses: a fall from pre-gendered wholeness into sexual difference ("it's a boy!"). |
