ABSTRACT
This section analyses Freud’s case of the Wolf Man to show how symbolic nomination helps the subject add dimensions to subjectivity. It considers how the symbolic law of the unconscious implies a nomination in the imaginary and a nomination in the symbolic, showing that fantasy is constructed around and through spaces of body. This section emphasizes that nomination and maternal investment concern only a lack in signifier and a lack in jouissance that the subject is compelled to situate in specific positions. It also discusses how nomination compels a subject to enter into the knot language in order to construct a singular subjectivity separated from the parental Other. This section also takes into consideration the clinical experiences of how a subject uses their ‘voice’ in the psychoanalytic encounter.
