Considerations regarding the concept of real in Lacan

The present work seeks to elucidate the notion of Real in Lacan in the period that is going from the first writings to the Seminar, book III, " The psychoses ", of 1955/1956. The discussion rotates around the Imaginary and Real relationships; Symbolic, Imaginary and Real. Lacan, firstly, harnesses the Imaginary to the Real permeated by the term imago, happening of Freud. Therefore soon after, it privileges the Symbolic and it defines the experience analytic as being of this order. In the previous moment, the Real of the experience analytic will be of the order of the Imaginary. In that second instant, the Real of the analytic experience will be of the order of the Symbolic. Then we have, the famous triad, Symbolic, Imaginary and Real. More ahead, in your thought, the Real will be defined as what it escapes to the Symbolic. It will be treated of the impossible of the sexual relationship.
