In recent years, \u201cpatriarchy\u201d has become a slogan-word, a combat phrase, that has spread like wildfire in activists\u2019 minority communities, there, where it fell out of use.<\/p>\n

Its signification is vague and floating \u2013\u00a0even feminists do not agree on its meaning. However, it is noteworthy that in contrast to the expressions \u201cmale domination\u201d and \u201cwomen\u2019s oppression\u201d, which are constative, the notion of \u201cpatriarchy\u201d is supposed to be explanatory and cause-oriented[1]<\/a>. Moreover, the syntagm claims to represent a generality. It describes a \u201csystemic\u201d organisation of abuse, while \u201cmacho\u201d, \u201csexist\u201d or \u201cnarcissistic pervert\u201d rather denote a misconduct of individuals.<\/p>\n

How can we comprehend the new success of this term? This signifier, void of any precise conceptual content, is the object of various and contextualised appropriations. Its different uses \u2013\u00a0political, subjective and symptomatic\u00a0\u2013 will be interpreted at the next Pipol congress.<\/p>\n

At the end of the Seminar on Anxiety<\/em>, when Lacan announces that he will speak about the <\/em>Names-of-the-Father \u2013\u00a0in the plural form\u00a0\u2013 he puts forward a paradox in the function that is attributed to the Father according to the analytical doctrine. \u201cIn the Freudian myth, the father intervenes in the most evidently mythical fashion as the one whose desire submerges, crushes, forces itself upon all the others. Isn\u2019t there a plain contradiction here with the fact clearly afforded by experience that, on his path, something very different is operation, namely, the normalization of desire on the pathways of the law?\u201d[2]<\/a><\/p>\n

It is not without raison, Lacan tells us, that in psychoanalysis the need was felt to preserve the mythical dimension in order to be able to speak of the paternal function: it is precisely because this function is neither purely logical nor purely symbolic. Lacan therefore reviews his conception of the Name-of-the-Father. The latter must no longer be considered as final cause or final term. The \u201cfather is not causa <\/em>sui<\/em>\u201d[3]<\/a>, since \u2013\u00a0he himself\u00a0\u2013 is caused by an object\u00a0a<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Gradually, it is thus that in the structuring of subjectivity, a central place will be given to the Father\u2019s object cause of desire. Lacan proposes to go beyond the myth and to take the question of jouissance, desire and the object of the father as guiding points[4]<\/a>. As Jacques-Alain Miller shows, Lacan\u2019s trajectory in regards to the father, divides itself from that point on between, on the one hand a theory of nomination and, on the other hand, a theory of the object, then of the symptom of the father[5]<\/a>. These are the two pathways that are explored in an outstanding manner in the different texts that are proposed in this issue of Nobodaddy<\/em>.<\/p>\n
