For the sake of clarity, it may be convenient at this preliminary stage to list briefly the main tenets of Lacan\u2019s reinterpretation of the Oedipus complex: (64)<\/p>\n
(1) the Oedipus complex provides the individual subject with the necessary key to enter the symbolic order understood as the Law of culture;<\/p>\n
(2) this is possible only if, in parallel, the subject is sexuated<\/span><\/strong>: if he or she assumes (3) the process through which the Oedipus complex is produced can be compared to a metaphor; by substituting itself for the signifier Desire-of-the-Mother<\/span><\/strong>, the signifier (4) the child is introduced to the three logically sequential \u201cstages\u201d of the Oedipus complex through three different \u201ccrises.\u201d Each crisis is based on the subject\u2019s assumption of a distinctive lack of a distinctive object. Frustration, defined as an imaginary lack of a real object, first and foremost the mother\u2019s breast, initiates the child to the first stage, that of the \u201cpre-Oedipal\u201d dual relation with the mother, which Lacan rethinks in terms of the triad child \u2013 mother \u2013 (imaginary) phallus. The child then accedes to the second stage as soon as he realizes that the mother is \u201cdeprived,\u201d that she lacks (in the Real) a symbolic object, the (symbolic) phallus; at this stage, which could easily be related to Freud\u2019s phallic phase, the child is involved in an aggressively imaginary rivalry with the (imaginary) father in order to control the mother. This stage corresponds to the doxastic idea of what the Oedipus complex is: \u201cloving\u201d the mother and \u201chating\u201d the father<\/strong> (for Lacan, both boys Lastly, the third stage is initiated by the (real) father who shows the child that he is the one who has what the mother lacks: the child realizes that he cannot compete with him. This is the child\u2019s castration proper<\/span><\/strong>, to be understood as a symbolic lack of an imaginary object, the imaginary phallus.<\/p>\n The Oedipus complex<\/strong><\/span> is completely resolved when the child, irrespective of sex, identifies symbolically with the father, and thus<\/span><\/strong> internalizes the Law<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Chiesa, L.
