Whatever. Not that it matters all that much, but all that pre-oedipal-jouissance-to-be-squashed-by-the-intervention-of-the-symbolic stuff, the whole business about the cry and "entry" into language, the mirror _stage_ as orthopaedic supplement to the presignifying body, etc. is all rigidly developmental.
