ABSTRACT This article explores psychoanalysis' encounter with typographic modernity in the form of a neon sign. The article takes French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan's seemingly inconsequential reference to a little neon sign with the motto “Enjoy Coca-Cola” as a point of departure to investigate the theoretical and historical implications of media technology and typographic modernity on the psychoanalytic discourse on human subjectivity.
