ABSTRACT
This section emphasizes the psychoanalytic encounter with how a subject experiences privation in the form of the other sex. It goes into Freud’s notion of infantile sexuality while emphasizing the reasons why it is necessary for a subject to construct a fantasy. By showing how nomination implies a privation of jouissance and a mark in signifier, this section also brings forth the different types of jouissance and how they work in relation to dimensions of subjectivity. This section also discusses Winnicott’s notion of the transitional object and the function of the object.
