Abstract

The Lacanian interpretation of the struggle for recognition is presented in terms of the symptomatic blockages afflicting the subject who desires recognition: in Lacan’s “dialectic of desire,” the subject is prevented from full participation in ethical life, but the principal origin of his or her misfortune is the symptom, not normative misrecognition.
