''[[Seminar V|Les formations de l'inconscient]]''. [[Seminar V|The Formations of the Unconscious]]. [[{{Y}}|1957]]-[[{{Y}}|58]]</ref> The [[graph of desire]] reappears in some of the following [[seminar]]s in various forms, although the most well known [[form]] of it appears in "[[The Subversion of the Subject and the Dialectic of Desire in the Freudian Unconscious]]."<ref>[[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]]. "[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Subversion du sujet et dialectique du désir dans l'inconscient freudien]]." ''[[Écrits]]''. [[Paris]]: Seuil, 1966. p.793-827.

− | [[ | + | ==Four Stages== |
+ | In this paper, [[Lacan]] builds up the [[graph of desire]] in four [[stages]]. | ||
− | [[ | + | ===Elementary Cell=== |
+ | The first of these stages in the "[[graph of desire|elementary cell]]" of the [[graph of desire|graph]].<ref>{{E}} p.303</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The horizontal line represents the [[diachronic]] [[signifying chain]]; the horseshoe-shaped line represents the vector of the [[subject]]'s [[intention]]ality. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The [[double]] intersection of these two lines illustrates the [[nature]] of [[time|retroaction]]: the [[message]], at the point marked '''s(A)''' in the [[graph of desire|elementary cell]], is the ''[[point de capiton]]'' determined [[time|retroactively]] by the [[particular]] [[punctuation]] given to it by the [[Other]], '''A'''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The [[linguistic|prelinguistic]] [[mythical]] [[subject]] of pure [[need]], indicated by the [[triangle]], must [[pass]] through the defiles of the [[signifier]] which produces the [[divided]] [[subject]], '''$'''. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Intermediate Stages=== | ||
+ | The intermediate stages of the [[graph of desire]] are not meant to show any [[progress|evolution]] or [[development|temporal development]], since the [[graph of desire|graph]] always [[exists]] as a [[whole]]; they are simply pedagogical devices used by [[Lacan]] in [[order]] to illustrate the [[structure]] of the [[graph of desire|complete graph]].<ref>{{E}} p.315</ref> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Nevertheless, [[Lacan]] never intended to describe the genetic stages of a [[biological]] [[development]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Rather, it represents the "[[logical]] moments" of the [[birth]] of a [[speaking]] [[subject]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===Complete Graph=== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the [[completed graph]] there are not one but two [[signifying chain]]s. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The lower [[chain]] (from the [[signifier]] to the [[voice]]) is the [[conscious]] [[signifying chain]], the level of the [[statement]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The upper [[chain]] (from ''[[jouissance]]'' to [[castration]]) is the [[signifying chain]] in the [[unconscious]], the level of the [[enunciation]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The [[structure]] is thus duplicated: the upper part of the [[graph]] is [[structured]] exactly like the lower part. | ||
