The Concept of the Barred Subject in Lacanian Psychoanalysis

This chapter explores the concept of the barred subject in Lacanian psychoanalysis. It explains that the barred subject, marked by a slash, is the result of the relationship between s one and s two in the living individual. The barred subject is an effect structure produced by the excised subsets of the big barred other. The chapter emphasizes the importance of understanding these terms and learning the language of Lacanian discourse.
