172. Safouan, Lacaniana,p. 92. J.-A. Miller is one of the few authors who have acknowledged
that the phallus is also a signified: indeed, he entitled one of the passages of the semi-
nal Chapter IX of Seminar V “The phallus as signified” (Le séminaire livre V,p. 161 ).

174. Literally, Lacan says that “the Name-of-the-Father has the function of signifying the sig-
nifying system as such” (ibid., p. 240 ); it is “the signifier that signifies that, within this
signifier, the signifier exists” (ibid., p. 147 ).
175. The Name-of-the-Father is the signifier that “in the Other, insofar as it is the site of law,

Chapters 4 and 5.
191. This is something that Lacan began to articulate as early as his dialogue with Hyppolite
regarding the Freudian notion of Bejahungin Seminar I (see The Seminar of Jacques Lacan. Book
I, Freud’s Papers on Technique, 1953–1954[New York: Norton, 1988 ], pp.54‒61). Secondary
