“…It is "that part of the subject's being that is simultaneously left out of and produced by the identity established for the subject in the S 1 -S 2 articulation." [27] So, anything that offers the possibility of stopping up the gap between the subject and the Other and filling the lack of the subject can function as object a. For examples, for children, a mother's voice, a gaze, a breast or some parts of their own body can be the object a. Pets, money, or the opposite sex partner also take the role of object a as long as they are desired by the subject.…”

The article attempts to make a discourse analysis on Korean public administration research for the past half century, in terms of Jacque Lacan's theory of the four fundamental discourses. Of the four discourses, the master discourse and university discourse are dominant, while the analytic discourse and hysteric discourse are marginalized. Previous studies have served or justified the three master signifiers in Korean public administration (the hierarchical political power, capitalism, and the U.S. public administration), with little attempt to challenge and change those master signifiers. Some structured mechanisms, like the hierarchical structure of governance and the tripartite disciplinary network, have contributed to the discourse (re)production. The article argues for making efforts to dissolve those reproduction mechanisms, and for a change of discourses in Korean public administration research.We should admit rather that power produces knowledge (and not simply by encouraging it because it serves power or by applying it because it is useful); that power and knowledge directly imply one another; that there I would like to thank N.
