=====Line between Signifier and Signified======The term "[[bar]]" first appears in [[Jacques Lacan]]'s work in 1957, where it is introduced in the context of a discussion of [[Ferdinand de Saussure]]'s concept of the [[sign]].<ref>{{E}} p.149</ref>
In this context, the [[bar]] is the line that separates the [[signifier]] from the [[signified]] (in the [[Saussurean algorithm]]), and stands for the [[resistance]] inherent in [[signification]] which is only crossed in [[metaphor]].
