Ever Seeking Redemption

"It is the lack of the Name-of-the-Father in that place which, by the hole that it opens up in the signified, sets off the cascade of reshapings of the signifier from the increasing disaster of the imaginary proceeds, to the point at which the level is reached at which the signifier and signified are stabilized in the delusional metaphor."
-Lacan, "Écrits: a selection", trans. Alan Sheridan, Routledge
