The Child Cries Out in a Moment of Pure Need

Lacan: The child cries out in a moment of pure need here down at the bottom. That meets this register here which is the register of language or signification. Beneath it is pre-linguistic you might say, if you play with this arrow and above it would be society, language use. This is another word at this point in Lacan's career for the symbolic. So I think we could do some pretty good work over here by making this the field of the symbolic.
