Jean-Michel Vappereau — La métaphore du nom-du-père comme envers du Narcissisme: involution entre les formules de la sexuations et les tours du dire au dit dans l’Étourdit

Paper produced by Vappereau in Balvanera, 29 May 2004. This work is the final installment in a larger body called “L’involution signifiante,” and deals with the signifying involution, the nom-du-père, and the formulas of sexuation of Lacan using constructive mathematics and the Borromean knot.

The semantic field of jouissance in Lacanian discourse

Jouissance is a term marked by its polysemy in its uses in French. Here I will detail in an incomplete way, partial and partial semantic fields in which Lacan uses this term.

I will note two points in the preamble.

First of all the use made of it in law. The enjoyment of property makes no assumption on the pleasure that the usufructuary may make.

Then the curiosity that I remarked, that this word is lacking in the English tongue so that English speaking psychoanalysts use the French word to talk about it.

In the section 2 We find the modalities of jouissance I've spotted, in the section 3, referrals from the texts written by Lacan, and in the section 4, referrals from a few seminars. Jacques B.Siboni
