The Theory of Experiencing Excitement

Lacan: The objects that afford surplus enjoyment are supplements for the experience of lack. They're representations and fits and starts, bits and pieces, what Malair calls crumbs of Jouy-Sants. If we were to draw an arrow for the drive here, it would extend going this way, back through, and ultimately arrive at the field of castration. Lacan is aware of this as early as seven.
