Example text
The ego ideal here is one aspect of this effect. Insofar as the subject is only constituted as subject (S/) through the mediating effects of the symbolic order, that which comes to be within the subject, that without which the subject could not be anything at all, is necessarily alien to the subject insofar as it is a part of the Other. This ego ideal, in terms of its function within the subject, is ‘an agency which speaks, that is to say a symbolic agency’ (Lacan, 1988a: 135). : 142). This would appear then to relate the ego ideal not only to the function of speech as it manifests in and is manifest of the subject and to the other as social other but also to the function of law.
The ego. The split here between the unconscious which refuses being and the ego which refuses unconscious thought does not indicate a true choice of positions between Lacan’s Return to Descartes 23 which some atavistic I must or even can choose. 1 Insofar as the cogito is indicative of a representation of the subject, albeit a fantasmic representation, in as much as it (re)presents a false or desired (re)presentation, it indicates something of the subject’s relation to and dependence on language.
By marking himself with cogito ergo sum, Descartes can be understood to exemplify the logic at work in the relation between the subject and language. Such a relation should not be understood as one of easily identifiable separation. The subject, in a sense, is nothing but language while, at the same time, the subject is nothing because of language. It is only through being represented that the subject can be said to exist at all and yet, at the same time, in being so represented, the subject is strictly not there.
