ABSTRACT
This section goes deeper into the relation between sex and nomination by analyzing the jouissance the subject experiences as lost. It considers how ‘sex’, as a point of real, is experienced by the subject as dimensions missing to subjectivity and that continue to call for a reply. Building upon earlier sections that explore the necessity to construct a fantasy, this section emphasizes the subjective experience of a perception of lack in subjectivity. It also introduces how a signifier is not a linguistic entity but a spatial operation that generates jouissance from within spaces of appearance. Jouissance is also linked to the topological concept of compact spaces.
