==Jacques Lacan=====Translation===The term "[[Subject supposed to know|sujet supposé savoir]]" can be translated as the "[[subject supposed to know]]" or as the "[[Subject supposed to know|supposed subject of knowledge]]".
<!--
==Self-Consciousness==
The [[illusion]] of a [[self-consciousness]] which is [[transparent ]] to itself in its [[act]] of [[knowledge|knowing]], constituted in the [[mirror stage]], is put into question by [[psychoanalysis]].
==Symbolic Knowledge==
[[Psychoanalysis]] demonstrates that [[knowledge]] (''[[savoir]]'') is not located in any [[particular ]] [[subject]] but is, in fact, [[intersubjective]].<ref>{{L}} [[Seminar IX|Le Séminaire. Livre IX. L'identification, 1961-62]]'', unpublished. [[Seminar]] of 15 November 1961.</ref>-->===Transference===In 1964, [[Lacan]] defines [[transference]] as the [[attribution]] of [[knowledge]] to a [[subject]].
<blockquote>"He is supposed to know that from which no one can escape, as soon as he formulates it - quite simply, signification."<ref>{{S11}} p. 253</ref></blockquote>
In [[other ]] [[words]], the analyst is often [[analystthought]] is often thought to know the [[secret]] [[meaning]] of the [[analysand]]'s [[word]]s, the [[signification]]s of [[speech]] of which even the [[speaker ]] is unaware. This supposition alone (the supposition that the [[analyst]] is one who knows) causes otherwise insignificant details (chance gestures, ambiguous remarks) to acquire [[retroactively ]] a special [[meaning]] for the [[patient]] who "supposes". ==Practice==It may happen that the [[patient]] supposes the [[analyst]] to be a [[subject]] who knows from the very first [[treatment]], or even before, but it often takes some time for the [[transference]] to become established. In the latter case, "when the subject enters the [[analysis]], he is far from giving the [[analyst]] this place of the [[subject supposed to know]]."<ref>{{S11}} p. 233</ref> The [[analysand]] may initially regard the [[analyst]] as a buffoon, or may withold information from him in order to maintain his ignorance.<ref>{{S11}} p. 137</ref> However, "even the [[psychoanalyst]] put in question is credited at some point with a certain infallibility."<ref>{{S11}} p.234</ref> Sooner or later some [[chance]] gesture of the [[analyst]] is taken by the [[analysand]] as a [[sign]] of some secret [[intention]], some hidden [[knowledge]]. At this point the [[analyst]] has come to embody the [[subject supposed to know]]; the [[transference]] is established.
==End of Analysis=Practice===The It may happen that the [[end of analysispatient]] comes when supposes the [[analysandanalyst]] de-supposes to be a subject who knows from the very first treatment, or even before, but it often takes some [[analysttime]] of for the transference to become established. In the latter [[knowledgecase]], so that "when the subject enters the [[analystanalysis]] falls , he is far from giving the position analyst this [[place]] of the [[subject supposed to know]]."<ref>{{S11}} p. 233</ref> The analysand may initially [[regard]] the analyst as a buffoon, or may withhold information from him in [[order]] to maintain his [[ignorance]].<ref>{{S11}} p. 137</ref> However, "even the [[psychoanalyst]] put in question is credited at some point with a certain infallibility."<ref>{{S11}} p.234</ref>
===Position of the Analyst===The term "[[subject supposed to know]]" also emphasizes the fact that it is a particular [[relationship]] to knowledge that constitutes the unique position of the analyst; the analyst is aware that there is a [[split]] between him and the knowledge attributed to him. In other words, the [[analyst]] must realise realize that he only occupies the position of one who is presumed (by the [[analysand]]) to know, without fooling himself that he really does possess the knowledge attributed to him. The analyst must realize that, of the knowledge attributed to him by the analysand, he knows [[knowledgenothing]].<ref>{{L}} "[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Proposition du 9 octobre 1967 sur le psychanalyste de l'École]]," 1967, ''[[Scilicet]]'', no. 1 ([[1968]] attributed to him) p. 20</ref>
<!--
==Analysand==
[[Lacan]] also remarks that, for the [[analyst]], the [[analysand]] is a [[subject supposed to know]]. When the [[analyst]] explains the [[fundamental rule]] of [[free association]] to the [[analysand]], he is effectively saying; "Come on, say anything, it will all be marvellous."<ref>{{Sl7S17}} p.59</ref> In other words, the [[analyst]] tells the [[analysand]] to behave as if he knew what it was all [[about]], thereby instituting him as a [[subject supposed to know]].-->==See Also=={{See}}* [[Analysand]]* [[Analyst]]||* [[Consciousness]]* [[End of analysis]]||* [[Intersubjective]]* [[Knowledge]]||* [[Signification]]* [[Subject]]||* [[Transference]]* [[Treatment]]{{Also}}
