'Culture, Meaning, Knowledge'

I felt as though this chapter had not really presented new material, but rather re-hashed over the previous material in new lights. There was one thing that especially caught my attention.
It was the section entitled, "Language and Psychoanalysis: Lacan." This is Lacan's reading of Freud and what most interested me was how he put the human unconscious in a language structure. This is something with which I wholeheartedly agree. It communicates, just as we consciously communicate.

Here's a question which semi-plagued me - does culture exist in the unconscious? Is it programmed as we are?
