Against Understanding, Volume 1: Commentary and Critique in a Lacanian Key · Bruce Fink · p.45
From the Imaginary to the Symbolic
Theoretical move: Fink introduces Lacan's Imaginary dimension not as illusion but as the register of images and mimetic identification, characterising it as a domain of pure quantitative difference, limitless aggression, and absence of recognition — thereby setting up the contrast with the Symbolic as the register that introduces qualitative difference, limits, and genuine otherness.
Images are of crucial importance in aggression too… species are generally 'far more aggressive toward their own species than toward any other'… there are no limits in the imaginary dimension: there is nothing that tells the animal to stop doing what it is doing.
