"[[gap]]" ([[Fr]]. ''[[{{Topp}}béance]]''){{Bottom}}

==Definition==The [[French]] term ''[[gap|béance]]'' is an antiquated [[literary ]] term which means a "large [[hole ]] or opening."

It is also a [[scientific]] term used in [[medicine ]] to denote the opening of the larynx.

The term In 1946, he speaks of an "interrogative gap" which opens up in [[madness]], when the [[subject]] is used in several ways in perplexed by the phenomenona which he experiences ([[Lacanhallucinations]]'s work, etc).<ref>{{Ec}} pp.165-6</ref>

==Man and Nature==In 1946the early 1950s, he speaks of an "interrogative gap" which opens up in the term comes to refer to the fundamental rupture between [[man]] and [[madnessnature]], when which is due to the fact that "in man, [[subjectthe imaginary]] relation has deviated, in so far as that is perplexed by where the phenomenona which he experiences (gap is produced whereby [[hallucinationsdeath]], etc)makes itself felt."<ref>{{S2}} p. 210</ref>

In the early 1950s<blockquote>"One has to assume a certain [[biological]] gap in him [man], the term comes which I try to refer define when I talk to you [[about]] the fundamental rupture between [[manmirror]] [[stage]].... The [[human]] [[being]] and has a special relation with his own [[natureimage]], which is due to the fact that "in man, the imaginary - a relation has deviatedof gap, in so far as that is where the gap is produced whereby death makes itself feltof [[alienating]] tension."<ref>{{S2}} p.210323</ref></blockquote>

This ==Imaginary==The function of the [[imaginary]] is precisely to fill this [[gap between ]], thus covering over the [[subject]]'s [[mandivision]] and presenting an [[natureimaginary]] is evident in the [[mirror stagesense]] of [[fragmented body|unity]] and [[lack|wholeness]]:.

<blockquote>==Sexual Relationship==In 1957 the term is used in the context of the [[relationship]] between the [[sex]]es; "One has to assume a certain biological gap in him the relation between man and [man[woman]], which I try to define when I talk to you about the mirror stage.... The human being has a special relation with his own image - a relation of gap, of alienating tensionalways remains open.<ref>{{S2S4}} p.374; {{S4}} p.323408</ref></blockquote>

This anticipates [[Lacan]]'s later remarkes on the [[existence|non--existence]] of the [[sexual relationship]].

The function ==Split Subject==In 1964, [[Lacan]] argues that "the relation of the subject to the [[imaginaryOther]] is precisely to fill this entirely produced in a [[gapprocess]]of gap, thus covering over "<ref>{{S11}} p. 206</ref> and states that the [[subject]]'s is constituted by a [[divisiongap]] and presenting an , since the [[subject]] is essentially [[imaginarydivided]] sense of unity and wholeness.

-- In 1957 the term is used in the context of the relationship between the sexes; "in the relation between man and woman... a gap always remains open.<ref>{{S4}} p.374; {{S4}} p.408</ref> This anticipates [[Lacan]]'s later remarkes on the non-[[existence]] of the [[sexual relationship]]. -- In 1964, [[Lacan]] He also argues that "the relation of the subject to the Other is entirely produced in a process of gap,"<ref>{{S11}} p.206</ref> and states that the [[subject]] is constituted by a [[gap]], since the [[subject]] is essentially [[dividedconcept]]. He also argues that the concept of [[causality]] is essentially problematic because there is always a mysterious, inexplicable [[gap]] betwen [[cause ]] and effect.<ref>{{S11}} p.21-2</ref> --

[[gap|Dehiscence]] is a botanical term which designates the bursting open of mature seed-pots; [[Lacan]] uses the term to refer to the [[split]] which is constitutive of the [[subject]]: there is "a vital dehiscence that is constitutive of man."<ref>{{E}} p.21</ref> This [[split]] is also the [[division]] between [[culture]] and [[nature]] which means that [[man]]'s relation to the latter "is altered by a certain dehiscence at the heart of the organism, a primordial Discord."<ref>{{E}} p.4</ref>
