What does woman represent in Lacan? - 2022.


58

Lacan’s term “woman” may have referred to women in the ordinary sense of the term as well as to what he was elaborating throughout his work concerning a form of jouissance other than phallic jouissance. The author takes a look at some of these intersections to shed light on the heteros at stake in the unconscious. The category of the between, which will open up to topology, becomes decisive.
