has argued that the master signifier, a constituent of a totalizing
system of knowledge, a henchman for what Lacan calls the discourse of
the Master, may be redirected or transformed through the discourse of

interpellation. Simply put, the subject gains agency in becoming
the author of his own master signifiers. |
