Christian Fierens – Reading L’Étourdit – First Turn – Chapter 1 – Meaning – Relationship and Sense
 
THE LETTER 51 Autumn 2012, pages 1-22.
 
Here are two morsels of the psychoanalytic discourse (…ou pire):
 
(1) ‘That one might be saying remains forgotten behind the said in what is understood’.
 
2) ‘This statement which appears to be assertive since it is produced in a universal form, is in fact modal, existential as such: as is testifiedby the subjunctive by which its subject is modulated.’ (5d; 449)
 
These two sentences or these two morsels plunge us into double presentation, into the representation of one (1) for and in the other (2) and this re-presentation will lead us to the barred subject and to the o-object.
