The Structure of Lack in the Big Other

Lacan: The signifier of lack in the other emerges in that which does not work. Answering this question is precisely what Lacan sets out to do in seminar 14. When the child superimposes their experience of lack on the evidence of the others lack, they come up with a fantasy of their own death. This is mainly for the clinicians in the room. But you know what, I would be remiss if we didn't at least finish what we were doing with seminar 11.
