Lacan Nous et le Réel #111 -pas sans objet.

Starting from the thread of anxiety—a signal of loss, a compass of desire—this session revisits the seminar's central question: how does the signifier enter the real for the human being? It is through the optical diagram and the metaphor of the inside-out glove that Christian Dubuis Santini this time unfolds the logic of the object petit(a) as gaze. That which cannot be reflected in the mirror, that irreducible remainder that is lost in the passage from one scene to another—this is what the real designates: not that against which one bumps, but a logical impossibility, a hole in the symbolic. The session articulates the first three Lacanian objects (breast, feces, phallus) with the topological structure of the Möbius strip and the cross-cap, before addressing the question of castration in its three stages: the object, the subject has never had it; the Other has not had it either; And it is the acceptance of this constitutive lack—the phallus as a veil over the void—that conditions symbolic sexuality and exchange. The title "Not Without Object" expresses this necessity: the subject does not come into being without the object that precedes and orients it—an object that is not of the world, but which is its void.
