([[French]]: ''[[conscience]]'')
In the so-called '[[topographical model]]', [[Freud]] isolates [[consciousness]] as one of the parts of the [[psyche]], along with the [[unconscious]] and the [[preconscious]].
[[Lacan]] finds [[Freud]]'s remarks on [[consciousness]] far weaker than his formulations on the [[unconscious]].
If there is a link between the [[ego]] and [[consciousness]], it is in terms of a [[lure]].
The [[illusion]] of a fully [[self-transparent]] [[consciousness]] is subverted by the whole [[psychoanalytic]] experience (see ''[[cogito]]'').
<blockquote>"[[Consciousness]] in [[man]] is by essence a polar tension between an [[ego]] [[alienated]] from the [[subject]] and a perception which fundamentally escapes it, a pure ''percipi''."<ref>{{S2}} p.177</ref></blockquote>
In 1954 [[Lacan]] gives "a [[materialist]] definition of the phenomenon of [[consciousness]]."<ref>{{S2}} p.40-52</ref>
