14In what seems to be his most fatalistic statements, Lacan asserts that symbols ‘envelop the life of man with a network so total that they join together those who are going to engender him “by bone and flesh” before he comes into the world; so total that they bring to his birth, along with the gifts of the stars, if not with the gifts of the fairies, the shape of his destiny’, ‘The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis’, in Écrits, p. 231.

25By displaying a cultural code, the subject sends a message to the Other, which means that he turns himself into a signifier. Based on this, it can be argued that human culture is by definition neurotic, or, even more precisely, that neurosis is in fact the very condition of culture. Lacan says that the neurotic subject not only identifies himself in language, he loses his own being in the signifying chain; he transforms himself into a signifier and becomes language, ‘On the Rejection of a Primordial Signifier’, The Psychoses 1955–1956, p. 155. The neurotic phenomenon thus seems to be inherent in culture since the ‘normal’ human subject does transform himself or herself into a signifier on a daily basis.
