The Symbolic (or Symbolic Order) is a part of the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan, part of his attempt "to distinguish between those elementary registers whose grounding I later put forward in these terms: the symbolic, the imaginary, and the real — a distinction never previously made in psychoanalysis".
Lacan's early work was centred on an exploration of the Imaginary, of those "specific images, which we refer to by the ancient term of imago. ... it set out from their formative function in the subject". Thereafter "[t]he notion of the "symbolic came to the forefront in the Rome Report [1953] ... henceforth it is the symbolic, not the imaginary, that is seen to be the determining order of the subject".
Lacan's concept of the symbolic "owes much to a key event in the rise of structuralism ... the publication of Claude Lévi-Strauss's Elementary Structures of Kinship in 1949. ... In many ways, the symbolic is for Lacan an equivalent to Lévi-Strauss's order of culture": a language-mediated order of culture. "Man speaks, then, but it is because the symbol has made him man ... superimposes the kingdom of culture on that of a nature". Accepting then that "language is the basic social institution in the sense that all others presuppose language", Lacan found in Ferdinand de Saussure's linguistic division of the verbal sign between signifier and signified a new key to the Freudian understanding that "his therapeutic method was 'a talking cure'".

0:00 Introduction by Roland Paris 2:18 Stuart J. Kaufman 42:40 Question Period Stuart J. Kaufman will present a theory of why ethnic conflict sometimes leads to civil war, and sometimes to a clash of contentious social movements, but at other times does not disturb the routine flow of politics. The proposed answer is based on the mechanisms of symbolic politics, starting with the symbolic predispositions (values, biases and prejudices) that are most common in the population. In symbolic politics, would-be political leaders appeal to these symbolic predispositions (SYDs) by using emotionally potent symbols. In ethnic politics, the key SYDs are prejudices against other ethnic groups. Ethnic groups are motivated to mobilize for political action if they feel a threat to group interests, s...

The lotus is a symbol of beauty, harmony and inner peace. Lotus flower petals are soft and glossy, so droplets of water don’t leave any marks on them. In the same way, life experiences should not leave scars or other marks on us. A yogi lives in the present and outer circumstances do not affect him. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPEN YOUR HEART TO THE MOST WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE EVER Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda www.bhaktimarga.org
