The drive can be graphed with two mathemes: S ^ D, subject strikeout in relation to demand, or with the uppercase crossed (initial symbolic Other, French Autre). (...) This way of writing the drive is a way to appoint, by Lacan, the fact that the drive is constituted from an exterior and is the result of the Other's demand, which is not something you're born and pushing from inside the body, but is the result of a constitution derived from an external demand and Lacan calls the Other's desire.

One of the major issues raised by Lacan and transform the traditional way to understand a fundamental concept of psychoanalysis is to think in relation to an exterior, and not to an interior. This idea is valid, as said, for the drive, but also for the concept of the unconscious. The unconscious, Lacan says, is the very name of the exteriority of the symbolic. Estra brief definition enough to call into question the way of conceptualizing the unconscious as an interiority. The unconscious is the deep part of the psychic apparatus, but is located on the surface of speech but that does not mean it's easy to hear because it tends to muffle the cry. The discourse of the Other is a way to define the unconscious as an otherness itself, derived from the exteriority of the symbolic. Rolando
