==Sigmund Freud==
[[Sigmund Freud]]'s [[concept]] of the [[drive]] ([[French]]: ''[[Trieb]]'', ''[[pulsion]]'') is central to his theory of [[human]] [[sexuality]].
According to {| align="[[Freudright]], " style="margin-left:10px;line-height:2.0em;text-align:justify;background-color:#fcfcfc;border:1px solid #aaa" | [[humanFrench]] : ''[[sexualitypulsion]] is not regulated by ''|-| [[instinctGerman]]s but by : ''[[drive]]s.Trieb{{Bottom}}
[[Human]] [[sexuality]] consists of a number of partial [[drive]]s ([[German]]: ''Partieltrieb'') arising from the different [[erogenous zone]]s.
At first these component drives function anarchically ==Drive and independently (Instinct=====Sigmund Freud===[[Freud]]'s [[concept]] of the '[[polymorphous perversitydrive]] is central to his [[theory]] of [[human]] [[sexuality]]' ; it lies at the heart of his theory of [[childrensexuality]]. 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 puberty that they become organised are extremely variable, and fused together under develop in ways which are [[contingent]] on the primacy life [[history]] of the genital organs[[subject]].<ref> ===Jacques Lacan===[[Lacan]] insists on maintaining the [[Freud, Sigmund]]ian [[distinction]] between [[drive]] and [[instinct]].<ref>{{E}} p. 1905d301</ref>
Whereas [[instinct]] denotes a [[mythical]] [[linguistic|pre-linguistic]] [[need]], the [[drive]] is completely removed from the realm of [[biology]]. ====Aim of the Drive and Instinct====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]] follows argues that the [[Freudpurpose]]'s distinction between of the [[drive]] (''Trieb[[Triebziel]]'') is not to reach a '' and [[instinctgoal]] '' (a final destination) but to follow its ''Instinktaim''(the way itself), which is to circle round the [[object]].<ref>{{ES11}} p.301168</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]]. [[Lacan]] thus empties the concept of the [[drive]] of the lingering references in [[Freud]]'s [[work]] to energetics and hydraulics.  ==The Circuit of the Drive==[[Lacan]] incorporates the four elements of the [[drive]] in his theory of the [[drive]]'s circuit. In this circut, the [[drive]] originates in an [[erogenous zone]].
This circuit is [[Instinctstructured]]s are relatively fixed and innateby the [[three]] [[grammatical]] voices.
# The [[Instinctactive]] denotes a [[myth]]ical pre-linguistic [[needvoice]](e.g.to see)
[[Drive]]s are variable, and develop in ways that are contingent on the life history of the [[subject]]# The reflexive voice (e.g. to see oneself)
# The [[Drive]] is separate from the realm of [[biologypassive]]voice (e.g.to be seen)
===Activity and Passivity===The first of these two [[drivetimes]] (active and reflexive voices) are autoerotic; they [[lack]] a [[subject]] does not refer to "some ultimate given, something archaic, primordial."<ref>{{S11}} p. 162</ref>
The Only in the [[third]] [[time]] (the passive voice), when the [[drive]] completes its circuit, does "a new subject" appear (which is a thoroughly cultural and symbolic constructto say that before this time, there was [[No Subject|no subject]]).
Although the [[third time]] is the passive voice, the [[drive]] is always essentially active, which is why [[Lacan]] writes that the third time not as "to be seen" but as "to make oneself be seen."
Even supposedly "passive" phases of the [[drive]] such as [[masochism]] involve [[activity]].<ref>{{S11}} p.200</ref>
==Partial==The circuit of the [[drive]] is the only way for the [[subject]] to [[transgress]] the [[pleasure principle]].
[[Lacan]] argues that the [[drive]]s are partial.
==The Partial Nature of the Drives==[[Freud]] argued that [[sexuality]] is composed of a [[number]] of [[drive|partial drives]]s are partial (in that they represent [[sexualityGer]]. ''[[drive|Partieltrieb]] partially'') such as the [[drive|oral drive]] and the [[drive|anal drive]], each specified by a different source (not in the sense that they are parts of a wholedifferent [[erotogenic]] zone).
At first these component [[Drivedrive]]s do not represent function anarchically and independently (viz. the reproductive function "[[polymorphous perversity]]" of sexuality ([[children]]), but only in [[puberty]] they become organized and fused together under the dimension priamcy of enjoyment)the [[genital]] organs.<ref>{{S11F}} p.2041905d.</ref>
===Differences between Freud and Lacan===
[[Lacan]] emphasizes the partial [[nature]] of all [[drive]]s, but differs from [[Freud]] on two points:
# [[Lacan]] rejects the [[idea]] that the partial drives can ever attain any [[complete]] organization or fusion, aruging that the priamcy of the genital zone, if achieved, is always a highly precarious affair.
: He thus challenges the [[notion]], put forward by some [[psychoanalysts]] after [[LacanFreud]] rejects the idea that , of a [[genital drive]] in which the partial drives can ever attain any complete organisation or fusionare completely integrated in a [[harmonious]] relation.
# [[Lacan]] identifies four partial argues that the [[drive]]s:* are partial, not in the [[oralsense]] that thy are parts of a [[drivewhole]]* (a 'genital drive'), but in the sense that they only [[anal]] [[driverepresent]]* sexuality partially; they do not represent the [[scopic]] [[drivereproductive]]* function of sexuality but only the [[invocatory]] [[drivedimension]]of enjoyment.<ref>{{S11}} p.204</ref>
Each of these [[drive]]s is specified by a different [[partial object]] and a different [[erogenous zone]].
===The Four Partial Drives===[[Lacan]] emphasizes the [[identifies]] four partial nature of all drives: the [[drive|oral drive]], but differs from the [[drive|anal drive]], the [[drive|scopic drive]], and the [[Freuddrive|invocatory drive]] on two points.
==Movement Each of the Drive==these [[drive]]s is specified by a different [[partial object]] and a different [[erogenous zone]].
The first two [[drive]] originates in an s relate to [[erogenous zonedemand]], circles round whereas the [[object]], and then returns second pair relate to the [[erogenous zonedesire]].

[[Lacan]] argues that the purpose of the [[drive]] 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>
==The function Lacanian Matheme for the Drive==In 1957, in the context of the [[graph of desire]], [[Lacan]] proposes the [[formula]] ('''S <> D''') as the [[drivematheme]] is not to attain full for the [[satisfactiondrive]] but to return to its circular path.
The This formula is to be read: the [[bar]]ed [[realsubject]] in relation to [[demand]], the [[fading]] source of the [[enjoymentsubject]] is before the [[repetition|repetitiveinsistence]] movement of this closed circuita [[demand]] that persists without any [[conscious]] [[intention]] to sustain it.
==Drive and Desire==
The [[drive]] is not merely another name for [[desire]]: they are the partial aspects in which [[desire]] is realised.
==The Dualism of the Drives=====Sigmund Freud: Life and Death===Throughout the various reformulations of drive-theory in [[DesireFreud]] 's work, one constant feature is one and undivided, whereas the drives are partial manifestations of a basic [[desiredualism]].
The circuit At first this dualism was conceived in [[terms]] of an opposition between the [[drive|sexual drive]] is s (''[[drive|Sexualtriebe]]'') on the only way for one hand, and the [[subjectdrive|ego-drive]]s (''[[drive|Ichtriebe]] to '') or [[transgressdrive|drives of self-preservation]] the (''[[pleasure principledrive|Selbsterhaltungstriebe]]'') on the other.
==Dualism==This opposition was problematized by [[Freud]] conceived the dualism of the [[drive]]'s growing realization, in terms of an opposition between the period 1914-20, that the [[life drive]]s (''Lebenstriebe'') ((both the [[pleasure principle]] and the [[reality principle]]) and the [[death |ego-drive]]s (''Todestriebe'')are themselves sexual.
[[Lacan]] retains He was thus led to reconceptualize the the basic dualism of the [[Freuddrive]]'s theory in terms of an opposition between the [[drive|life drive]]s (against the monism of ''[[Jungdrive|Lebenstriebe]], who argued that all '') and the [[psychicdeath drive]] forces could be reduced to one single concept of s (''[[psychicdeath drive|Todestriebe]] [[energy]]).<ref>{{S1}} l18-20'').</ref>
===Jacques Lacan: Symbolic and Imaginary===[[Lacan]] prefers argues that it is important to reconceptualise this dualism in terms of an opposition between the retain [[symbolicFreud]] 's dualism, and rejects the monism of [[imaginaryJung]], and not in terms of an opposition between different kinds who argued that all [[psychic]] forces could be reduced to one single concept of psychic [[driveenergy]]s. <ref>{{S1}} p.118-20</ref>
For However, [[Lacan]], all prefers to reconceptualize this dualism in terms of an opposition between the [[drivesymbolic]]s are and the [[sexualimaginary]] [[drive]]s, and every not in terms of an opposition between different kinds of [[drive]] is a [[death drive]]s.
Since Thus, for [[Lacan]], all [[drive]]s are [[drive|sexual drive]]s, and every [[drive]] is a [[death drive]] since every [[drive]] is excessive, [[repetition|repetitive]], and ultimately destructive.<ref>{{Ec}} p.848)</ref>
==FormulaDrive and Desire==In 1957, The [[drive]]s are closely related to [[desire]]; both originate in the context field of the [[graph of desiresubject]], as opposed to the [[Lacandrive|genital drive]] proposes the , which (if it [[formulaexists]] (SO D) as the finds its [[mathemeform]] for on the side of the [[driveOther]]. <ref>{{S11}} p.189</ref>
This However, the [[formuladrive]] is to be read: the not merely [[baranother]]red [[subjectname]] in relation to for [[demanddesire]], : they are the partial aspects in which [[fadingdesire]] of the [[subject]] before the insistence of a [[demand]] that persists without any [[conscious]] [[intention]] to sustain itis realized.
[[Desire]] is one and undivided, whereas the [[drive]]s are partial manifestations of [[desire]].
