Notes

1. Scotland and Northern Ireland, the other components of the United Kingdom, have their own educational systems.

2. “Lacan assigns great importance in his theorization of the psychoanalytic process to what he calls “master signifiers.” These are those signifiers that the subject most deeply identifies with, and which accordingly have a key role in the way s/he gives meaning to the world … Lacan’s idea about these signifiers is that their primary importance is less any positive content that they add to the subject’s field of symbolic sense. It is rather the efficacy they have in reorienting the subject with respect to all of the other signifiers which structure his/her sense of herself and the world.” From the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, https://iep.utm.edu/lacweb/)
