Lacanian subject and the Dialectics of the Real : Reading Jude the Obscure

&nbsp;&nbsp;This study is Lacanian psychoanalysis in its theoretical emphasis, concentrating on debates emanating from the works of Freud, Lacan, and their readers, while explaining the crucial concepts that are brought to bear on fundamental issues in literary texts, such as the Imaginary, the Symbolic, the Real, 〈objet petit α〉, jouissance, femininity. The purpose of this study is to show how the subject, as an effect of signifier, is related to the Real being, that is, the question of the Real as contradiction internal to the Symbolic and returns to the question of the dialectic of the Real that manifests itself in narrative, that is, the subject&quot; act against a background of social relations through reading of literary text Thomas Hardy&quot;s Jude the Obscure. Lacan&quot;s demonstrations of how the Real speaks in language suggest that 〈objet petit α〉 speaks from the place of the fantasy. Fantasy designates the subject&quot;s impossible relation to 〈objet petit α〉.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Following Hegel&quot;s analysis of freedom in which we are both determined by symbolic order and free from symbolic order, Lacanian psychoanalysis formulates an instructive dialectical conception of freedom and determinism and provides a structure and lens for understanding the authentic subject. What is at stake when we determine the place of psychoanalysis in the western history thought, in which psychoanalysis marks a rupture, is a question of knowing. Therefore, focus of this study is on dealing with a question of Sue Bridehead&quot;s knowing that is manifested and is at issue in Jude the Obscure, that is, a question of mark, a point which embodies feminine resistance to symbolic identification manifested in Sue. Lacan proposes that the form this resistance takes is hysterical. In Jude the Obscure, Sue is an example of generating reader&quot;s desire, that is, of being 〈objet petit α〉 that motivates the reader to read the text. In conclusion, the theoretical importance of Lacanian psychoanalysis is the relation between a subject and an object.
