To [[Lacan]] takes a stand in the crisis of the [[university]] thatfollows [[May 1968]]: "If [[psychoanalysis]] cannot be articulated as a [[knowledge]] and taught as such, he adds questions on feminine jouissance (is it the has no [[place ]] in Academia, where it is only a matter of knowledge." He rejects nonconceptualization: [[structure]] is the [[real]]. Dealing with the passage from <i>[[objet]] a</i> to the [[Other or of ]] and from the Thing?)Other to <i>[[objet a]]</i>, Lacan analyzes and combines [[Pascal]], on [[Marx]] and the nullibiquité, non-ubiquitousness, [[logic]] of the phallus that testifies that jouissance is real but cannot be symbolizedlink between l, on the Phallus as a symbol that is lacking or outside systemunbroken line, and the repetition <i>[[trait]] unitaire</i> of the Graphs of Desire.<i>L'[[identification]]</i> and <i>a</i> as follows:<br>
Marx invented surplus-value, plus-value, and he, Lacan, invented the objet a. He asserts that he is going to construct the plus-de-jouir so as to isolate the objet a, he will do so by homology with surplus-value. In the matheme of fantasy, <>a, "the being of a is the plus-de-jouir, surplus-jouissance.* At the level of the enunciation, perversion reveals "surplus-jouissance in its bare form." The rapport between surplus-jouissance and surplus-value is the function of the objet a. The perverse has given to God his true plenitude by giving a back to the Other. Hence, a is in A (the small other is in the big Other); however, a makes a hole in A. Jouissance is excluded, the Other is the place where it is known, a is the effect of fall that results from it. So, after going from a to A, one must go from A to a[[Image:lacansem1c1.gif|center]]
To that, he adds questions on [[feminine]] <i>[[jouissance]]</i> (is it the place of the Other or of the [[Thing]]?), on the <i>nullibiquité</i>, non-ubiquitousness, of the [[phallus]] that testifies that <i>jouissance</i> is real but cannot be [[symbolized]], on the Phallus as a [[symbol]] that is [[lacking]] or [[outside]] [[system]], and the [[repetition]] of the [[Graphs]] of [[Desire]].<br>
Marx invented [[surplus]]-[[value]], <i>plus-value</i>, and he, Lacan, invented the <i>objet a</i>. He asserts that he is going to [[construct]] the <i>plus-de-[[jouir]]</i> so as to isolate the <i>objet a</i>, he will do so by homology with surplus-value. In the [[matheme]] of [[fantasy]], <font face="LACAN" size="3">S</font>&lt;&gt;<i>a</i>, "the [[being]] of <i>a</i> is the <i>[[plus-de-jouir]]</i>, surplus-<i>jouissance</i>.* At the level of the [[enunciation]], [[perversion]] reveals "surplus-<i>jouissance</i> in its bare [[form]]." The rapport between surplus-<i>jouissance</i> and surplus-value is the function of the <i>objet a</i>. The [[perverse]] has given to God his [[true]] plenitude by giving <i>a</i> back to the Other. Hence, <i>a</i> is in A (the small other is in the [[big Other]]); however, <i>a</i> makes a [[hole]] in A. <i>Jouissance</i> is excluded, the Other is the place where it is known, <i>a</i> is the effect of fall that results from it. So, after going from <i>a</i> to A, one must go from A to <i>a</i>.<br>
"I mainly talk [[about ]] a [[dead ]] God, maybe in [[order ]] to better free myself from my relation to a dead [[Freud]]." Yet, in <i>Le Pari</i>, Pascal raises the question of the [[existence ]] of God. The only true question is that of the [[subject]]: Does I [[exist]]? Do I exist? "The [[nothing ]] that [[life ]] is," which is at stake for Pascal, is the surplus-<i>jouissance</i>. The assumption of the [[loss ]] creates the gap, <i>béance</i>, between the [[body ]] and its <i>jouissance</i>: such is the effect of the <i>objet a</i>, the lost [[object]], in the field of the Other. For Pascal, the central point is "the infinite nothing"; the only salvation is grace, for God's mercy is bigger than His justice. Grace allows proximity to the desire of the Other in its various forms: "I ask myself what you [[want]]," then "I ask you what you want," which leads to "Thy Will be Done!" However, this [[sentence ]] is uttered to a faceless Other. God's will, for not being our will, comes to [[lack]]; then, for lack of God, we are left with the [[Father ]] as dead, the Father as a [[name ]] (the pivot of [[discourse]]) and as the rapport of <i>jouissance </i> to [[castration]]. "The [[Name-of-the-Father ]] is a rift that remains wide open in my discourse, it is only known through an act of [[faith]]: there is no Incarnation in the place of the Other."<br>Slavoj [[Zizek]] aptly describes surplus-<i>jouissance</i> (<i>[[lacanian]] ink</i> 15) as follows:<br>
Slavoj Zizek aptly describes "So in the [[case]] of the caffeine-free diet Coke, we drink the Nothingness itself, the pure [[semblance]] of a property that is effectively merely an envelope of a [[void]]. This example makes palpable the inherent link between [[three]] notions: that of the [[Marxist]] surplus-value, that of the Lacanian <i>objet a</i> as surplus-<i>jouissance </i>, and the [[paradox]] of the [[superego]], perceived long ago by Freud: the more you drink Coke, the more you are thirsty; the more profit you have , the more you want; the more you obey the supergo command, the more you are [[guilty]]. In all three cases, the logic of balanced [[exchange]] is perturbed in favor of an excessive logic of "the more you give, the more you owe (lacanian ink 15or the consumerist version "the more you buy, the more you have to spend") , of the paradox which is the very opposite of the paradox of [[love]] where, as followsJuliet put in her immortal [[words]] to Romeo, 'the more I give, the more I have'.<br>The key to this perturbation is the surplus-<i>jouissance</i>, the <i>objet a</i> which [[exists]] (or rather insists) in a kind of curved [[space]] in which, the more you approach it, the more it eludes your grasp (or, the more you possess it, the greater the lack).<br>Perhaps, [[sexual]] [[difference]] enters here in an unexpected way:the [[reason]] why the supergo is stronger in man is that it is man, not [[woman]], who is intensely related to this [[excess]] of the surplus-<i>jouissance</i> over the pacifying functionning of the [[symbolic]] Law. In [[terms]] of the [[paternal function]], the opposition between the pacifying symbolic Law and the excessive supergo [[injunction]] is the one between the Name-of-the-Father (the paternal symbolic [[authority]]) and the "primordial father," allowed to [[enjoy]] all [[women]]. This rapist "primordial father" is a [[male]] ([[obsessional]]), not feminine ([[Imagehysterical]]), fantasy:lacansem1c1it is man who is able to endure his integration into [[the symbolic]] order only when this integration is sustained by some hidden reference to the fantasy of the unbridled excessive <i>jouissance</i> embodied in the unconditional supergo injunction to enjoy, <i>jouir</i> to go to the extreme, to trangress and force constantly the [[limit]].gifIt is man in whom the integration into the [[symbolic order]]is sustained by the superego exception."<br>
"So in [[Bruce Fink]] [[notes]] that the case [[translation]] of the caffeine<i>plus-de-free diet Cokejouir</i> rendered in <i>[[Television]]</i> (New York: Norton, we drink the Nothingness itself, the pure semblance of a property that 1989) as "over-coming" is effectively merely an envelope of a voiddeficient. This example makes palpable the inherent link between three notions: that of the Marxist Since <i>plus-de-jouir</i> is based on <i>plus-value</i> (Marx's [[surplus-value]]), that of the Lacanian objet it means a as surplus-, extra or supplemental <i>jouissance, and the paradox of the superego, perceived long ago by Freud</i>: the more you drink Coke, <i>plus</i> should be [[understood]] in the more you are thirsty; the more profit you have [[sense]] of <i>[[Encore]]</i>, the more you want; the more you obey the supergo command, the more you are guiltyMore. In all three cases, the logic of balanced exchange is perturbed in favor of an excessive logic of He stresses that "the more you give, the more you owe (sensual sense of being 'overcome' with or the consumerist version "the more you buy, the more you have to spend"), of the paradox which 'overwhelmed' by [[pleasure]] is the very opposite of the paradox of love where, as Juliet put in her immortal words related to Romeo, 'the more I give, the more I have'Other <i>jouissance</i>.
The key to this perturbation is the surplus-jouissance, the objet a which exists (or rather insists) in a kind of curved space in which, the more you approach it, the more it eludes your grasp (or, the more you possess it, the greater the lack).
Perhaps, sexual difference enters here in an unexpected way: the reason why the supergo is stronger in man is that it is man, not woman, who is intensely related to this excess of the surplus-jouissance over the pacifying functionning of the symbolic Law. In terms of the paternal function, the opposition between the pacifying symbolic Law and the excessive supergo injunction is the one between the Name-of-the-Father (the paternal symbolic authority) and the "primordial father," allowed to enjoy all women. This rapist "primordial father" is a male (obsessional), not feminine (hysterical), fantasy: it is man who is able to endure his integration into the symbolic order only when this integration is sustained by some hidden reference to the fantasy of the unbridled excessive jouissance embodied in the unconditional supergo injunction to enjoy, jouir to go to the extreme, to trangress and force constantly the limit. It is man in whom the integration into the symbolic order is sustained by the superego exception."
* Bruce Fink notes that the translation of plus-de-jouir rendered in Television (New York: Norton, 1989) as "over-coming" is deficient. Since plus-de-jouir is based on plus-value (Marx's surplus value), it means a surplus, extra or supplemental jouissance: the plus should be understood in the sense of Encore, More. He stresses that "the more sensual sense of being 'overcome' with or 'overwhelmed' by pleasure is related to the Other jouissance.
