Initially Lacan
proposed that the mirror phase was part of an infant’s development from 6 to 18
months.
By the early1950’s,
Lacan’s concept had changed. He no longer considered the phase as a moment of
life but as representing a permanent structure of subjectivity, or as the
paradigm of ‘imaginary order.’
Lacan created the
idea of ‘Lack’ and that is causes desires to arise.
“Desire is a relation
to being to ‘lack’. The ‘lack’ is the lack of being properly speaking. It is
not lack of this or that, but lack of being whereby the being exists.”
similar to the ID
acting on the hedonistic lifestyle ‘lack’ relates to the ego.
‘The moment you get
what you seek, you will want something else.”
