Lacan’s Borromean Knot
by Chris on Feb.21, 2010, under psychoanalysis
1. The Imaginary: the gaze, the fantasy, the mirror, ideal-ego and ego-ideal.
2. The Symbolic: signifiers, codes, language, law
3. The Real: the unsymbolisable, the gap in representation.
As Zizek argues, its best to take the three orders, not as one Lacanian system, but as part of a developing work -with the Real becoming the focus of interest in the later seminars.
See here for a real life illustration involving Zizek and me!
