“The encounter with the real in psychoanalytical experience will then be the
result of a contingency. Maybe a dream, perhaps a lapse, will of a sudden
reveal a piece of the real, because the real is always revealed in pieces. What is
at stake in the real unconscious is not an understanding of how the symptom
becomes constructed but how the contingent encounter with the real hinges on
jouissance.”

The Rudder and the Feminine
. Trans.: Ellie Ragland [RT
6, 2011]
“But the relation of a woman to the signifier of the lack in the Other brings us
to another terrain. In this zone which is inaccessible to the signifier, a woman
has no relation to the unconscious insofar as it is structured, as such, like a
language, but to the hole in the symbolic of which the navel of the dream is a
speaking example.”
p. 58
“The absence of the signifier in the unconscious which would say “woman,”
having been denied, each one counts for One. Consequently, if the two logics
of the relationship to the rudder regulate themselves on a relation of the man
and the woman to the unconscious, management according to numeral [
chiffre
]
takes its guarantee from the foreclosure of the unconscious.”

“Psychoanalysis, in its ideal of science, is based on the mechanism of signifiers.
On the other hand, scientism is considered to be an authoritarian extension of
a scientific method that was founded in a field of a discipline that has its object
and its own laws in another field. The imperialism of data processing does not
touch the effects of language on the mode of jouissance, or the effects of the
signifier ‘One’ on the body. The unconscious is not structured like a Turing
machine.”

Cottet, Serge. [FDP, 2012]
“This identification of the unconscious with a knowledge that does not know
itself leads to a practice that directs patients to reveal a secret. Freud promises to
disclose his patients’ objects of desire to them by unveiling this secret. In other
words, during this period, he equates the unconscious with a knowledge about
jouissance that had been barred by repression, and from which he intends to
disencumber the subject.”
p. 15
“What makes the quest for
x
—the analyst’s desire—homogenous with the real
is that the analyst annuls and dissipates the imaginary springs of the ego. This
‘spectral decomposition’ clears the way towards a ‘final real’, wherein the
subject
resides.”
p. 55
“I would like to put forward the hypothesis that the Freudian real is not to
‘be unmasked’ since it excedes the imaginary and is not continuous with
itself. Indeed, it has more in common with nothingness, which a vein hope in
something beyond leads us inevitably to encounter.”
p. 60
“The real, instead, is nothing other than a failure of simbolization which the
imaginary seeks to fill up and which bodily orífices—so many scraps of the
real—attempt to stand in for.”
p. 61
“The pschoanalyst’s desire is not a pure love for the unconscious. It is linked to
the ambiguity that causes the psychoanalyst to view his knowledge with horror
whenever he responds, by means of his act, to another’s wish ‘to know the truth’.
Lacan took the step that shifts the analyst’s desire to the side of jouissance.
From the momento when the analyst is no longer in a position of a subject but
in that of the object, the problem is displaced from the treatment to another
operation.”

The Other Who Does Not Exist and the
Unconscious
. Trans.: J. Marzouk [LI 40, 2012]
“I point out in this excerpt the term ‘plugged into’ that seems to me the
appropriate way to speak about the clinic in which we operate: it is indeed about
allowing the subject to be plugged into the Unconscious.”
p. 70
Guéguen, Pierre-Gilles.
Who Is Mad and Who Is Not? On Differential
Diagnosis in Psychoanalysis
[C/C 1, 2013]
“It is consistent with the idea that interpretation should not reinforce the
interpretive tendency of the unconscious along the lines of always building up
more meaning.”

Note on the Treatment of the Symptom by the
Analytic Act
. Trans.: J.W. Stone [LI 43/44, 2014]
“In brief, being and knowledge are not identified with each other, contrary to
the delusional belief of the operator of the conditioning, who believes himself to
think by himself, while he owes knowledge and the possibility of learning to his
relationship with
lalangue
, the relationship that allows him to inhabit language.”
