Описание: Law is always effectively underpinned by language. Lacan makes appeals to anthropological understandings of gift-giving and associated processes of exchange as a way of thinking the symbolic order. We make reference to Levi-Strauss on the unconscious as a stomach (the unconscious is always empty, for Levi-Strauss, it is as much a stranger to the images that pass through it, as the stomach is a stranger to the contents that pass through it!). We emphasize how the symbolic order operates on the basis of combinatorial logic. Ultimately though, gift-giving is not an adequate basis for language. What then is meant by the idea that the signifier needs to "instantiate an absence"...? The signifier needs to mark the fact of its own disconnection. Lacan makes this point - which we try to elucidate - via Freud's famous description of the 'fort/da' game.
