Résumé anglais Jean-Franklin Narot, In the Name of the Law : The Social in the Grip of Lacanism Lacan's psychoanalytic structuralism has provided an interpretative framework which can be, illegitimately, substituted for the social sciences. Founded upon a notion of the symbolic derived from the work of Lévy-Strauss, the theoretical key to this perspective is the equivocal notion of « Law ». In the terms of the Lacanian doctrine, « Law » functions as the necessary precondition for the existence and intelligibility of effective social rules and regulations which are inevitably perceived in terms of a metonymy. The normative consequences and deformations occasioned by this conceptual strategy mystify the historical processes productive of social forms. Overall, in producing an interminable psittacism, the Master's voice has become the object of a certain fetichism The author is a psychoanalyst.
