Abstract:
Lacan tells us that psychoanalysis is founded on the principle: ‘There is no sexual relation’. Its corollary, or another formulation of the same principle, goes like this: ‘Jouissance is impossible’./What interests me is not a further investigation of the ins and outs, or indeed the various transformations, of these statements of the principles, the very matrix, of the structure of psychoanalytic theory […]. I start from what makes itself heard to me, from my hearing, which is certainly not analytic but which for that very reason has a certain way of floating, allowing resonances to emerge for me that will not harmonize with the unison of the Lacanian program. Rather, what I hear will sound against it, in contact with it, that is to say, as close to it as can be, but maybe also at the same time as far away as possible, in a sort of inverted echo, or maybe according to a sexual relation (sexual? not sexual?) that is itself incommensurable
