This essay is an examination of the way in which the Oedipus complex, which is traditionally regarded as the centerpiece of Freudian theory, is reinterpreted by Jacques Lacan in the light of what he calls the ‘formulas of metaphor’ or the signifying substitution.<BR> Freudian theory of the Oedipus Complex, which is concerned with such critical issues as the formation of the human subject, the logic of affects, and the question of sexual difference, tends to be articulated largely in terms of the real family structure, as is manifested in his phrase ‘family romance.’<BR> On the other hand, Lacanian approach to the Oedipal structure is mainly structural and linguistic, with the paternal signifier ‘Name-of-the-Father’ substituted for the ‘Desire of the Mother’ resulting in the structure of the ‘Name-of-the-Father’ (Other/Phallus). Otherwise said, the overcoming of the Oedipal conflict means in Lacanian terms a successful accession to the symbolic order or the big Other (O), set of signifiers and a birth of the human subject with sexual identity, securing a phallic meaning (Ф).<BR> According to Lacan, the difference between the mother and the father, even when it is sexually marked, cannot be ‘translated’ into the difference between the man and the woman. Every attempt at such symbolic translation leaves a ‘surplus-effect,’ which is the real of sexual difference.<BR> The last part of the essay is devoted to the way in which the human subject is differently positioned with respect to the Other. This different subject position vis-?-vis the Other explains what Lacan calls ‘sexuation’ and the Other jouissance as distinguished from the phallic jouissance.
