Introduction to Lacan - Pt. 7: The Structure of the Subject and Topology
Channel: Michel Foucko
Date: 2018-09-25

Yay, time to do math à la Lacan. Today we are returning to the discussion of metaphor to show how Lacan explores the question of the structure of the psychoanalytic subject. In this respect, Lacan starts from a metaphorical use of topology and structure to explore the subject and he moves onto topology and structure as the subject itself - especially when he arrives at counter-intuitive refigurations of the subject.
