the subject’s failure to fully grasp the opposed substantial content, simultaneously indicates a limitation/failure/lack of the substantial content itself.

subjectivity emerges when substance cannot achieve full identity with itself, when substance is in itself ‘barred’, traversed by an immanent impossibility or antagonism.

The perverse ritual stages the act of castration, of the primordial loss that allows the subject to enter the symbolic order. In contrast to the ‘normal’ subject, for whom Law functions as the agency of prohibition, for the pervert, the object of his desire is the Law itself; The Law is theideal he is longing for, he wants to be fully acknowledged by Law, in tegrated into its functioning. The irony should not escape us: the pervert, this transgressor par excellence who purports to violte all the rules…in effect longs for the very rule of Law

SLAVOJ ZIZEK http://ift.tt/2g09Mht

overidentification and self-instrumentalization ultimately coincide: perverse self-instrumentalization (positing oneself as the instrument of the big-Other) necessarily becomes violence as an end-in-itself: …he is staging the fiction of the big Other in order to conceal the jouissance he derives from the destructive orgy of his acts

Lacan says, ‘Woman does not exist’. I think..this ineffable, mysterious ‘beyond’, excluded from the symbolic order, is what does not exist.

Not that they are not able to obtain that for which they search: they already possess what they search for under the very form of its loss.
