from Wiki:

The Name-of-the-Father (Nom-du-Père) is a central concept in Jacques Lacan’s psychoanalytic theory, referring not to the biological father, but to a symbolic function that introduces the subject into the realm of language, law, and desire. As a signifier, it plays a structural role in mediating the child’s relationship to the mother’s desire, instituting the Oedipus complex, and making possible the formation of subjectivity. First emerging in Lacan’s seminars in the 1950s, the concept builds on Freud’s model of the father in the Oedipus complex but is reinterpreted through structural linguistics and semiotics. Lacan’s Name-of-the-Father acts as the "no" (non) that forbids incest and inaugurates the symbolic order. It is the master signifier anchoring the symbolic system. In the event of its foreclosure, as in psychosis, the symbolic order collapses, and the subject becomes vulnerable to hallucinations, delusions, and a breakdown in meaning. In Lacan’s later teaching, the concept is pluralized—Names-of-the-Father—to reflect the transformation and decline of paternal authority in contemporary society. This article traces the development of the Name-of-the-Father from its Freudian roots, through Lacan’s structuralist reformulation, and into contemporary psychoanalytic theory.

from Wikipedia:

"[T]he goal of schizoanalysis: to analyze the specific nature of the libidinal investments in the economic and political spheres, and thereby show how, in the subject who desires, desire can be made to desire its own repression—whence the role of the death instinct in the circuit connecting desire to the social sphere. [...] Schizoanalysis is at once a transcendental and a materialist analysis.[3]"
