==Drive and Instinct==
===Sigmund Freud===
[[Freud]]'s [[concept]] of the [[drive]] is central to his [[theory]] of [[human]] [[sexuality]]; it lies at the heart of his theory of [[sexuality]].
For [[Freud]], the distinctive feature of [[human]] [[sexuality]] -- as opposed to the [[sexual]] [[life]] of other animals -- is that it is not regulated by any [[instinct]] -- a concept which implies a relatively fixed and innate [[relationship]] to an [[object]] -- but by the [[drive]]s -- which differ from [[instinct]]s in that they are extremely variable, and develop in ways which are [[contingent]] on the life [[history]] of the [[subject]].
===Jacques Lacan===
[[Lacan]] insists on maintaining the [[Freud]]ian [[distinction]] between [[drive]] and [[instinct]].<ref>{{E}} p.301</ref>
Whereas [[instinct]] denotes a [[mythical]] [[linguistic|pre-linguistic]] [[need]], the [[drive]] is completely removed from the realm of [[biology]].
====Aim of the Drive====
The [[drive]]s differ from [[biological]] [[need]]s in that they can never be [[satisfied]], and do not aim at an [[object]] but rather circle perpetually round it.
[[Lacan]] argues that the [[purpose]] of the [[drive]] (''[[Triebziel]]'') is not to reach a ''[[goal]]'' (a final destination) but to follow its ''aim'' (the way itself), which is to circle round the [[object]].<ref>{{S11}} p.168</ref>
Thus the [[real]] purpose of the [[drive]] is not some mythical goal of [[full]] [[satisfaction]], but to [[return]] to its circular path, and [[The Real|the real]] source of [[enjoyment]] is the [[repetition|repetitive movement]] of this closed circuit.
====Drive as Cultural and Symbolic Construct====
[[Lacan]] reminds his readers that [[Freud]] defined the [[drive]] as a montage composed of four discontinuous elements: the pressure, the end, the object and the source.
The [[drive]] cannot therefore be conceived of as "some ultimate given, something archaic, primordial."<ref>{{S11}} p.162</ref>
It is a thoroughly [[culture|cultural]] and [[symbolic]] [[construct]].
[[HumanLacan]] [[sexuality]] consists of a number thus empties the concept of the [[partial drive]]s (of the lingering references in [[GermanFreud]]: ''[[Partieltrieb]]'') arising from the different s [[erogenous zonework]]sto energetics and hydraulics.
==The Circuit of the Drive and Instinct==According to [[FreudLacan]], incorporates the four elements of the [[humandrive]] in his theory of the [[sexualitydrive]] is not regulated by 's circuit. In this circut, the [[instinctdrive]]s but by originates in an [[driveerogenous zone]]s.
This circuit is [[Lacanstructured]] follows by the [[Freudthree]]'s distinction between [[drivegrammatical]] (''[[Trieb]]'' and [[instinct]] (''[[Instinkt]]'').<ref>{{E}} pvoices.301</ref>
# The [[Instinctactive]]s are relatively fixed and innate[[voice]] (e.g.to see)
# The [[Drive]]s are variable, and develop in ways that are [[contingent]] on the [[life]] [[history]] of the [[subjectpassive]]voice (e.g.to be seen)
===Activity and Passivity===The first of these two [[times]] (active and reflexive voices) are autoerotic; they [[Drivelack]] is separate from the realm of a [[biologysubject]].
The circuit of the [[Lacandrive]] argues that is the only way for the [[drivesubject]] to [[transgress]]s are the [[partialpleasure principle]].
==The Partial Nature of the Drives==[[Freud]] argued that [[Drivesexuality]]s do not represent the is composed of a [[reproductivenumber]] function of [[sexualitydrive|partial drives]] (but only [[Ger]]. ''[[drive|Partieltrieb]]'') such as the [[drive|oral drive]] and the dimension of [[enjoymentdrive|anal drive]], each specified by a different source (a different [[erotogenic]]zone).<ref>{{S11}} p.204</ref>
At first these component [[Lacandrive]]s function anarchically and independently (viz. the "[[polymorphous perversity]]" of [[children]]), but in [[puberty]] rejects they become organized and fused together under the idea that priamcy of the [[partial drivegenital]]s can ever attain any complete organisation or fusionorgans.<ref>{{F}} p.1905d.</ref>
==Movement of the Drive=The Four Partial Drives===[[Lacan]] [[identifies]] four partial drives: the [[drive|oral drive]], the [[drive|anal drive]], the [[drive|scopic drive]], and the [[drive|invocatory drive]].
The first two [[drive]]s do not aim at an relate to [[objectdemand]], whereas the second pair relate to [[desire]] but rather circle perpetually round it.

==The Lacanian Matheme for the Drive==In 1957, in the context of the [[realgraph of desire]] source of , [[Lacan]] proposes the [[formula]] ('''S <> D''') as the [[enjoymentmatheme]] is for the [[repetition|repetitivedrive]] movement of this closed circuit.
==The circuit Dualism of the Drives=====Sigmund Freud: Life and Death===Throughout the various reformulations of drive-theory in [[driveFreud]] 's work, one constant feature is the only way for the [[subject]] to [[transgress]] the a basic [[pleasure principledualism]].
He was thus led to reconceptualize the dualism of the [[Lacandrive]] prefers to reconceptualise this dualism s in terms of an opposition between the [[symbolicdrive|life drive]]s (''[[drive|Lebenstriebe]] '') and the [[imaginarydeath drive]], and not in terms of an opposition between different kinds of s (''[[death drive|Todestriebe]]s'').
However, the [[drive]] is not merely [[another]] [[name]] for [[desire]]: they are the partial aspects in which [[desire]] is realized.
[[Desire]] is one and undivided, whereas the [[drive]]s are partial manifestations of [[desire]].
