Abstract

The word "desire" is one of the core terms in Lacan's psychoanalysis. As the famous saying of Lacan: "the desire of man is the desire of the Others", Lacan's theory of desire is based on Hegel - Koyev's theory of desire. By falsifying the subject, Lacan developed a unique theory of desire, that is, desire is the alienated subject, the fantasy formed in the pursuit of what Freud called the Das Ding which Lacan called the Objet petit A, and finally the fantasy constructs desire retrospectively. The study of Lacan's theory of desire helps to provide more sections for the study of contemporary social phenomena and social development.

Summary

Alienation of Subject

Descartes' classic "I think, I am" came out, marking the beginning of human reason to control the world. In "Beyond the Pleasure Principle," Freud once told an interesting story: children between the ages of 1 and 2, while their mothers were out, would throw the spool in their hands, pull it back, and send out Fort/Da) The voice Freud found that this was a game often played by children when their mothers were absent, and believed that the whole game was a symbol of children's "absence and presence" of their mothers, and parodies of children's coping with the reality of frustration. (Wu Qiong, 2011) Lacan called the scene described by Freud the initial moment when the subject enters the symbolic world At this time, the meaning expressed by children's Fort/Da is not important, but the key is that Fort/Da, a linguistic act, has a symbolic function. I am not myself ", the subject gradually accepts his symbol and the call of others, becoming the re-alienation of alienation above nothing. (Chen Rongrong, 2020)
