peer agreement (net): +1origin of speech Explanation: Parlêtre : a neologism coined by Lacan who situated the human being not at the origin of speech, but at the point on the horizon which speech aims for but which retreats further with every word [Translator's note]. |

41 mins confidence:
reign of speech Explanation: It does mean seat and it probably was taken from "là où siège la parole"...which I would translate as where speech reigns... 15 years experience as a Lacanian translator/interpreter ..... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-12-23 00:41:11 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- the reign of speech rather than seat....because Lacan is not big on objects, except the object little \'\'a\"...so if you say \'\'seat\" there is an objectification whereas if you say where speech reigns or the reign of speech, you are close to a Lacanian view of the world....
