Jacques Lacan Zitate – Sprüche auf Englisch mit Übersetzung

Zitat des Tages von Jacques Lacan:

The narration, in fact, doubles the drama with a commentary without which no mise en scene would be possible.

In other words, the man who is born into existence deals first with language; this is a given. He is even caught in it before his birth.

Jacques Lacan

Aside from that reservation, a fictive tale even has the advantage of manifesting symbolic necessity more purely to the extent that we may believe its conception arbitrary.

Jacques Lacan

A geometry implies the heterogeneity of locus, namely that there is a locus of the Other. Regarding this locus of the Other, of one sex as Other, as absolute Other, what does the most recent development in topology allow us to posit?

Jacques Lacan

As is known, it is in the realm of experience inaugurated by psychoanalysis that we may grasp along what imaginary lines the human organism, in the most intimate recesses of its being, manifests its capture in a symbolic dimension.

Psychoanalysis is a terribly efficient instrument, and because it is more and more a prestigious instrument, we run the risk of using it with a purpose for which it was not made for, and in this way we may degrade it.

Obsessional does not necessarily mean sexual obsession, not even obsession for this, or for that in particular; to be an obsessional means to find oneself caught in a mechanism, in a trap increasingly demanding and endless.

Jacques Lacan

The knowledge that there is a part of the psychic functions that are out of conscious reach, we did not need to wait for Freud to know this!

Jacques Lacan

The narration, in fact, doubles the drama with a commentary without which no mise en scene would be possible.

Jacques Lacan

Symptoms, those you believe you recognize, seem to you irrational because you take them in an isolated manner, and you want to interpret them directly.

Jacques Lacan

What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?

Jacques Lacan

Writings scatter to the winds blank checks in an insane charge. And were they not such flying leaves, there would be no purloined letters.

Jacques Lacan

What could be more convincing, moreover, than the gesture of laying one's cards face up on the table?

Jacques Lacan

For the signifier is a unit in its very uniqueness, being by nature symbol only of an absence.

Jacques Lacan
