''[[graphe du désir]]'') is a [[topology|topographical representationtopological model]] -- schema or model -- of the [[structure]] of [[desire]].
==History==[[Jacques Lacan]] began to develop the [[graph of desire]] in his [[{{Y}}|1957]]-[[{{Y}}|58]] [[seminar]], ''[[Seminar V|Les formations de l'inconscient]]''.<ref>[[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]].

[[{{Y}}|1957]]-[[{{Y}}|58]]</ref> The [[graph of desire]] reappears in some of the following [[seminar]]s in various forms, although the most well known [[form]] of it appears in "[[The Subversion of the Subject and the Dialectic of Desire in the Freudian Unconscious]]."<ref>[[Jacques Lacan==|Lacan, Jacques]].

==Four Stages==In this paper, [[Lacan]] began to develop builds up the [[graph of desire]]in four [[stages]].
===Elementary Cell===The first of these stages in the "[[Lacangraph of desire|elementary cell]] began to developing " of the [[graph of desire|graph]].<ref>{{E}} p.303</ref>
The horizontal line represents the [[Lacandiachronic]][[signifying chain] first develops ]; the horseshoe-shaped line represents the vector of the [[subject]]'s [[graph of desireintention]] ality.

The [[linguistic|prelinguistic]] [[mythical]] [[subject]] of pure [[need]], indicated by the [[triangle]], must [[pass]] through the defiles of the [[signifier]] which produces the [[divided]] [[subject]], '''$'''.
===Intermediate Stages===The intermediate stages of the [[graph of desire]] are not meant to show any [[Lacanprogress|evolution]] or [[development|temporal development]] first develops , since the [[graph of desire|graph]] always [[exists]] as a [[whole]] in ; they are simply pedagogical devices used by [[Seminar V|the seminar of 1957-8Lacan]] in [[order ]] to illustrate the [[psychoanalytic theorystructure]] of the [[jokegraph of desire|complete graph]]s.<ref>[[Freud|Freud, Sigmund]].

The Nevertheless, [[graph of desire|graphLacan]] reappears in some never intended to describe the genetic stages of the following a [[seminarsbiological]], but then all but disappears from [[Lacan]]'s [[Works of Jacques Lacan|workdevelopment]].
The [[graph of desire|graph]] appears in various formsRather, although it represents the most well known form of it appears in "[[The subversion of the subject and the dialectic of desire in the Freudian unconsciouslogical]].moments"<ref>of the [[Lacan, Jacquesbirth]].

It -- the [[graph of desire]] -- achieved its definitive form in this paper.===Complete Graph===
===Four Stages===In this paper, the [[Lacancompleted graph]] builds up the there are not one but two [[graph of desiresignifying chain]] in four stagess.
Its four successive stages represent The lower [[chain]] (from the constitution of [[signifier]] to the [[voice]]) is the [[humanconscious]] [[subjectsignifying chain]] and his , the level of the [[desirestatement]].
====Elementary Cell====The upper [[chain]] (from ''[[Image:Lacan-graph-elementary.jpg|Elementary Cell|thumb|rightjouissance]]'' to [[castration]]) is the [[signifying chain]]The first of these stages in the "[[graph of desire|elementary cellunconscious]]" , the level of the [[graph of desire|graphenunciation]].<ref>{{E}} p.303</ref>
The horizontal line represents the [[diachronic]structure] [[signifying chain]]; is thus duplicated: the horseshow-shaped line represents the vector upper part of the [[subjectgraph]]'s is [[intentionstructured]]alityexactly like the lower part.

The lower chain (from the [[signifier]] to the [[voice]]) is the [[conscious]] signifying chain]], the level of the [[statement]].

The [[structure]] is thus duplicated: the upper part of the [[graph]] is structured exactly like the lower part.
