From the name of the father (NP) to nameless ( S (Ⱥ) ): notes

Abstract

We investigate the consequences in Lacan’s work considering the pluralization of the Name of the Father from the formulation of the concept of Lacanian Name of the Father in his text of 1953 The function and field of speech and language, while symbolic instance entered in the Other’s field and anchorage of subjective identification, i.e., from the issue that was introduced by Lacan in the Name of the Father, 1963, until we get to his development of the concept of Taoist Nameless present in his 20th Seminar of 1972/73 and the RSI Seminar of 1974-75, referring paradoxically, lack-to-Be, S (Ⱥ), lack of significant in the field of the Other, as a subject foundation. From this perspective, we try to indicate the displacement of the prevalence of symbolic register to the reference of the theory of knots, through a new definition of Real, discussing its implications for psychoanalytic treatment and for the insertion of psychoanalysis in culture.
