scene (scène)
Freud states that "the scene of action of dreams is different from that of waking ideational life."[1] Freud borrowed the expression 'another scene' (eine andere Schauplatz). Freud developed the idea of 'psychical locality' (in opposition to physical or antomical locality). Lacan takes this as a justification for his own use of TOPOLOGY (see E, 285). Lacan uses the term to denote the imaginary and symbolic scene (world) in which the subject comes to stage his or her fantasy (which is built on the edifice of the Real). The scene of fantasy is a virtual space which is framed, in the same way that the scene of a play is framed by the proscenium arch in a theatre, whereas the world is a Real space which lies beyond the frame (Lacan, 1962-3: seminar of 19 December 1962).
Acting Out and the Passage to the Act
Lacan uses the term 'scene' to distinguish between 'acting out' and the 'passage to the act'. It is said that the process of acting out remains inside the scene, inscribed in the symbolic order. The passage of the act, however, exits the scene, crossing over from the symbolic into the real. There is a total identification with the other and hence an abolution of the subject.[2]
Perversion
The fantasy scene is also an important aspect in perversion. The pervert typically stages his enjoyment in terms of some highly stylised scene, and according to a stereotypical script.
