A concept of a desire for recognition?
I have the intuition that in psychoanalysis someone should have written about a desire for recognition. i am not sure if the terminology i choose is correct or helpful.
When i look for writing on desire it is usually clear that the object is usually someone else. When i look for writing on recognition it is associated with a clear claim of identity and seems to be formulated as a demand and not as a desire. Both don't describe what i think is a "desire for recognition".
Which i would rather describe as having the shape where the desire shapes what one accepts as recognition. And the object of desire is the other as it sees one self.
Any suggestions what to look at?
