The unconscious, Lacan writes, is the discourse of the Other. What do you think he means by this? Drawing on your understanding of Freud, Lacan, and Zizek, pursue the implications of this statement, using textual or filmic examples as appropriate. You will need to decide how to focus your paper. You could, for example, examine the question of the subject (the speaking voice or intending self) in its relation to the structures that surround it, or focus on Lacan's sense of how language works, or choose a different emphasis (4-5 pages).
