Lacan's notion of the subject is radically different from commonplace notions of subjectivity or individuality and also from the post-structural conceptualization of the social role of subject-positions. The Lacanian subject is not a permanent or constant entity; it is the subject as event which - like the unconscious itself - fades and resurfaces, proving not just elusive but discontinuous. We discuss how the subject is 'beyond objectification' (not fitting within the conceptual category of the object), how it is essentially linked to the aims of psychoanalysis (i.e. the realization of the subject) and how it is only in and as speech that the subject emerges.
