Abstract:
The wordplay père-version is used by Lacan to bring together the concepts of sinthome and perversion. In its theoretical developments, it indicates the real dimension which underlies the symbolic father and serves to relativize four different aspects of the Name-of-the-Father: abstraction, universality, normativity, and effectiveness. This relativization, which begins with the pluralization of the Names-of-the-Father, can be completed when, in the scope of the topology of nodes, the symbolic clearly loses prevalence in relation to the other registers.
