 Throughout the 1960s and up through the end of Lacan’s teachings, the Real takes on an ever increasing number of aspects and connotations. It becomes both a transcendence troubling and thwarting Imaginary-Symbolic reality and its language from without as well as an immanence perturbing and subverting reality/language from within. It comes to be associated with libidinal negativities (objet petit a, jouissance, and sexual difference, all to be discussed later—see  2.3,  2.4.2, and  2.4.3  below), material meaninglessness both linguistic (see  2.1.2  above) and non-linguistic, contingent traumatic events, unbearable bodily intensities, anxiety, and death.
