JACQUES LACAN

JACQUES LACAN
The French psychoanalyst Jaques Lacan reinterpreted Freud in terms of structural linguistics. As a result he became an important influence on structuralist thought.

. . . Jacques Lacan (1901-s81) brought a structralist approach to the ideas of Freud and psychoanalysis. Lacan argued that the unconscious is literally ‘structured like a language,” with the consequence that deconstruction provides us with the right way to understand it. ~ Page 219

But man does not know his own desire because the unconscious is the discourse of the Other, Lacan means this in two senses: first, “The ‘de’ is to be understood in the sense of the Latin ‘de’ [objective determination)” discourse from the Other, and second “the ‘de’ provides what grammarians call the ‘subjective determination’, namely that it is a qua (in capacity of, as being) Other that he desires, which is what provides the true compass of human passion.” This is why the analyst does not try to meet the analysand’s demands but speaks in the voice of the Other and asks “ ‘What do you want>’” the double meaning attributed to the Other is tied to the inevitability of human frustration and anguish. . .
