…in everything that concerns taking ones bearings in the imaginary, the phallus will henceforth step in, in the form of a lack. To the full extent that here, in i(a), what Ive called the real image comes to be realized - the body image functioning in the subjects material as specifically imaginary, that is to say, libidinalized - the phallus appears as a minus, as a blank. Despite the phallus undoubtedly being an operative reserve, not only is it not represented at the level of the imaginary, but it is circumscribed and, in a word, cut out of the specular image. Lacan, Sem X, Anxiety
