==Jacques Lacan==
This [[notion]] of the "[[counterpart|specular ego]]" was first developed in the essay, "[[The Mirror Stage]]".
==def==
This notion of the 'specular ego' was first developed in the essay, 'The mirror Stage.'
The term "[[counterpart]]" plays an important part in [[Lacan]]'s [[Works of Jacques Lacan|work]] from the 1930s on, and designates other [[people]] in whom the [[subject]] perceives a likeness to himself (principally a [[visual]] likeness).
The [[counterpart]] plays an important part in the [[intrusion complex]] and in the [[mirror stage]] (which are themselves closely related.
==Intrusion Complex==
The [[intrusion complex]] is one of the [[three]] "[[family]] [[complex|complexes]]" which [[Lacan]] discusses in his 1938 article on the [[family]], and arises when the [[child]] first realizes that he has siblings, that other [[subject]]s ''like him'' participate in the [[family]] [[structure]].
=def=The emphasis here is on likeness; the [[child]] [[identification|identifies]] with his siblings on the basis of the [[recognition]] of [[bodily]] similarity (which depends, of course, on their [[being]] a relatively small age [[difference]] between the [[subject]] and his siblings).
=="Imago of the Counterpart"==
It is this [[identification]] that gives rise to the "[[counterpart|imago of the counterpart]]."<ref>{{L}} ''[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Les complexes familiaux dans la formation de l'individu. Essai d'analyse d'une fonction en psychologie]]'', [[Paris]]: Navarin, 1984. p. 35-9</ref>

realises that he has siblings, that other subjects like him participate in the  family structure. The emphasis here is on likeness; the child identifies with his  siblings on the basis of the recognition of bodily similarity (which depends, of  course, on their being a relatively small age difference between the subject and  his siblings). It is this identification that gives rise to the 'imago of the  counterpart' (Lacan, 1938: 35-9).  The imago of the counterpart is interchangeable with the image of the  subject's own body, the SPECULAR IMAGE with which the subject identifies in  the mirror stage, leading to the formation of the ego. This interchangeability is  evident in such phenomena aS TRANSITIVISM, and illustrates the way that the  subject constitutes his objects on the basis of his ego. The image of another     person's body can only be identified with insofar as it is perceived as similar to  one's own body, and conversely the counterpart is only recognised as a separate, identifiable ego by projecting one's own ego onto him.  In 1955 Lacan introduces a distinction between 'the big Other' and 'the little  other' (or 'the imaginary other'), reserving the latter term for the counterpart  and/or specular image. The counterpart is the little other because it is not truly  other at all; it is not the radical alterity represented by the Other, but the other  insofar as he is similar to the ego (hence the interchangeability of a and a' in  schema L).__NOTOC__
