However, Katerina Kolozova writes more in relation with Lacan that: “the Real is not an abstraction, an idea that stands independently, an ‘out-there’ in itself. It is not a substance, but a ‘status,’ as Laruelle would call it, a notion analogous to that of the ‘function’ in Lacan. Similarly, Badiou insists on the role of the ‘event’ (a concept analogous to that of the Lacanian Real) as that instance of the ‘void’ (a singularity without linguistic content) in relation to which new discursive possibilities are created” (Kolozova 2014, 2–3).
