The Reference to Marx in Lacan's Teachings

ABSTRACT

The reference to Marx forms a constant in Lacan's teachings. Tracing all these references we see Marx emerge, disappear, then reappear in Lacanian thought. Such dialogue expresses the persistence of a central core. In this sense, we consider that the interest of Lacan to formalize the relationship between the concepts of subject of the signifier, Other and enjoyment is the core of this dialogue from beginning to end. Our paper will address the recurrence of this thematic cluster, successively traversing three different moments of dialogue in Lacan's work.

Keywords:
Lacan; Marx; subject; other; surplus-value; surplus-enjoyment
