those phenomena, so singular, that they cannot be reproduced in any way. There
is an original moment of this encounter with the real of the unconscious that
is necessary to remember when we speak about the real, an original moment
in the history of science, a moment that is an unconscious formation, a dream
of Freud’s, the dream that is also in the origin of his text
The Interpretation of
Dreams
, a text which is in fact the development of this dream. This is a well-
known
Dream of Irma’s Injection
, and it is linked to the question of feminine
sexuality, of feminine ‘jouissance’, a question that has made present a new real in
science and in clinics, a new real that cannot be represented as a complete or as a
consistent form, because it escapes always to scientific knowledge.”
p. 8
“We may conceive the structure of Freud’s discourse, all his elaboration about
unconscious knowledge, as a working through of this blank page that remains
in every field of knowledge. This is in fact the hypothesis of the unconscious,
a knowledge that doesn’t know itself and that is present in all knowledge,
a knowledge that is heterogeneous in the field of scientific knowledge, the
supposed objective knowledge of the real.”
p. 9
“But the real unconscious is impossible to map, so impossible as the real itself
that does
not
cease to
not
be written. The real unconscious will always be
impossible to map out through magnetic resonance, just as those parts in the
ancient maps that were represented as a
terra incognita
, obscured by clouds, a
non explored region where you could only read:
hic sunt dracones
… impossible
beings, but not so unreal ones. To catch dragons in the
terra incognita
of the real
unconscious, magnetic resonance is absolutely useless; you have rather to try
with semantic resonance, with the resonance that words and language produce
in a human being, a speaking being.”

The Paradoxes of Transference
[LCE, 2(8), 2014]
“Freud also brought into the light of day the secret link between the
unconscious and transference.
In fact, in his text
Psychotherapy of Hysteria
, Freud speaks of transference as a
false link between a patient and the physician. It is a false link because of an
unconscious representation that is tied, in its turn, not to an object but to
a desire, an unsatisfied desire, a desire that already existed before any object
relation was conceived. Transference as a false link with the analyst tells us,
therefore, about the truth of an unconscious desire.”
p. 3
“Transference is transference with your unconscious, transference is to suppose a
subject to your unconscious, to suppose that you are concerned as a subject with
your unconscious and with your symptom. The logic of transference as Subject
Supposed to Know is not, therefore, only or basically to suppose a knowledge
to the Other but, first of all, to suppose a subject to the knowledge of your
unconscious.”

The poinçon
(<>) in Lacan [RT 6, 2011]
“As a result of the choice or ‘
vel
’, the subject appears as the divided subject,
who at once appears in his disappearance on his own side— as aphanisis— and
appears as sense produced by the signifier on the side of the big Other, where a
large part of it is eclipsed by the disappearance of the being due to the function
of the signifier. Differently put, alienation produces the being beneath the
sense, where the being comprises non-sense or the unconscious. Owing to this
arrangement, if being is chosen over sense, the subject, left without the support
of sense in the field of the Other, falls into non-sense; and, conversely, if sense is
chosen over being, the subject is left with sense but without the non-sense or the
unconscious belonging to the being.”

Everlasting Couch
(2011), [LI 43/44, Spring
2014]
“I will conclude with a few sentences. First, only someone who agrees to be
taken in by his or her unconscious can function as an analyst. And when I say
unconscious here, I mean what Miller meant by ‘real unconscious’. Secondly,
being taken by one’s unconscious implies its enactment under control, and
implies body.”

A Case of Early Autism: From the Object to Speaking
[HB 10, 2013]
“My experience with autism has taught me the importance of being guided by
what the child is doing in order to supply a drive circuit, where it is lacking.
Certainly, they are subjects whose body has not been taken up by the signifier
and, therefore, their body has not been constructed around a topology of drive
rims where they can locate the object that has been separated from the body.
It is of the utmost importance to grasp what the child is doing in order to deal
with their own difficulties with their body, jouissance and the Other.”

Carbonell, Neus.
Failed Encounters with Real
[LCE, 2(13), 2014]
“In the late Lacan, beyond the transferential unconscious, the unconscious that
relies on knowledge (savoir), on the subject supposed to know, there is a real
unconscious, the one that has to do with a real that is impossible to reduce to
meaning.”
p. 4-5
