Lacan's structural analysis of real, symbolic, and imaginary is so intertwined with Freudian conjecture that I am having trouble concentrating on the philosophical forms.
Lacanian experience and almost speech act theory...
Lacanian Demands Really seemed to be going somewhere with the "lack in the real is transformed into the symbolic medium of language", but his philosophy is based on desire and envy.
I am hoping algebra might lead somewhere more pleasant... (Sesame Street?)
The four positions in each discourse are:
Agent = Upper left. This is the speaker of the discourse.
Other = Upper right. This is what the discourse is addressed to
Product = Lower right. This is what the discourse has created
Truth = Lower left. This is what the discourse attempted to express.
The four variables which occupy these positions are:
S1 = the master signifier
S2 = knowledge (le savoir)
$ = the subject (barred)
a = the objet petit a or surplus-jouissance
Langue encompasses the abstract, systematic rules and conventions of a signifying system; it is independent of, and pre-exists, individual users
parole meaningful utterance
