SIGMUND FREUD - JACQUES LACAN
Following a biological logic, Sigmund Freud established a rigid model for the "normal" sexual development of the human subject, what he terms the "libido” development. It consists in the passage throught various stages and also acknowledged that development varied between individuals. Stages can even overlap or be experienced simultaneously.

0-2
years of age. Early
in your development, all of your desires
were oriented towards your lips and your mouth, which accepted food,
milk, and anything else you could get your hands on (the oral phase).
The first object of this stage was, of course, the mother's breast.
The mother thus logically became your first "love-object".
4-7
years of age.
Finally, you entered the phallic
phase.
In this stage, the child becomes fascinated with urination, which is
experienced as pleasurable, both in its expulsion and retention. The
Oedipus Complex represents
the masculine and feminine condition of “falling in love” with
the opposite sex parent, as love-object, and of the connected
jealousy.
7-12
years of age.
Next followed a long "latency period"
during
which
your sexual development was more or less suspended and you
concentrated on repressing and
your earlier
desires
and thus learned to follow the reality-principle.
You
also moved beyond your childhood egoism and sacrificed something of
your own ego to others, thus
learning how to love others.
13
years of age onward (or
from puberty on). Your development over the latency period allowed
you to enter the final genital phase.
At this point, you learned to desire
members of the opposite sex and to fulfill your instinct to
procreate and thus ensure the survival of the human species.

Freud
Desire
(Jacques Lacan: the real Freud's studies continuer)
KEY WORDS
- Need (mother’s breast) 0-6 months
- Demand (need recognition and love, not just objects) 6-18 months
- Desire (Lacan says: “Desire is always the desire of the Other. Which basically means that we are always asking the Other what he desires”) after language
Components of Reality
- Real (perfect unity, no language)
- Imaginary (sense of self is a misperception of self in mirror)
- Symbolic (the symbolic order is the place of the rules of language)
Tension between real and imaginary
Desire = fantasy
therefore
Desire = lack
- The objet “a”
- Desire’s main task is to keep itself circulating. That objet “a” is perceived as a missing piece, shows that Other is not clearly distinguished from self. Value comes from being perceived as a missing part of the subject self.
- Desire exceeds need and uses demand as its vehicle
Is there still any space for desire in this “need society” ?
HUMAN CONDITION JUST AS “HUMAN”
When man gets into the symbolic way of relationship, just then, man specifically gets human condition.NEED means satisfaction of basic instincts
“Crossing” the symbolic way makes man get the DEMAND dimension.
At the end, DEMAND is only and always LOVE DEMAND
But not any object can satisfy LOVE DEMAND, then DESIRE rises just when man realizes this kind of reality, thus he starts feeling DESIRE of something satisfying and so on. Human condition is just this one: DESIRE of DESIRE of BEING DESIRED by THE OTHER... and so on... endless.
That is the essence of the whole existence.
