Developing the Real/Symbolic/Imaginary ontology of education outlined in chapter one, this chapter situates the figure of the teacher as a subject within that ontology. Initially, via the concept of objet a, the chapter explores Lacan’s own allusions to teaching surrounding pedagogy, topics, and relationship with students. It discusses the formal aspects of Lacan’s educational methods such as cartels and a new psychoanalytic school. The chapter then goes on to explain Lacan’s figure of the split subject specifically as a teacher through the concept of the signifier. The teacher as a subject is further presented as the ego ideal/ideal ego figure found in Lacan’s accounts of the Mirror Stage and the gaze, all of which contribute to constructing a particular form of subject found only in the space of the classroom.
