→Disavowal
The [[perversion|pervert]] [[disavowal|disavows]] [[castration]]; he perceives that the [[mother]] [[lack]]s the [[phallus]], and at the same time refuses to accept the [[reality]] of this traumatic perception.
This is most evident in [[fetishism]] (the "[[perversion|perversion of perversions]]")<ref>{{S4}} p. 194</ref> where the [[fetish]] is a [[symbolic]] [[metaphor|substitute]] for the [[mother]]'s [[lack|missing]] [[phallus]]. One can also formulate the fetish object as a [[veil]] that the perverse subject erects in front of the [[Thing]] in order to avoid an encounter with it.
