Abstract
Jacques Lacan (1901-1980), contemporary French psychoanalyst, plays an important role in promulgating Freud’s theories. He accepted Freud’s opinions on the unconscious, spread them and declared that the unconscious has got a structure like that of language. He specifies the procedure of the growth of a child from the birth till adulthood in a framework of recognizing the psycho and language and through such terms as “imaginary order”, “symbolic order”, “mirror stage”, “loss” and “object petit a”. The goal beyond penning this paper, further than surveying and criticizing Sepehri’s Presence Till Infinity through Lacan’s psychoanalytic approach and burrowing through the scientific information imbedded in the work, is to inspect the applicability of Lacan’s psychoanalytic approach to this piece of poetry. According to the presence of certain conspicuous signs such as “words”, “quotation”, “word”, “speech”, and the main theme of the poem (the change resulted from the birth of language) which is the base of Lacan’s theories, we have come to conclusion that this approach to analyzing this poem is applicable.
