I remind you that the place of semblance where I put the object...that theplace of semblance is not where I articulated that of the Truth.How can a subject, since that is how I designated the S with the bar, $, howcan a subject, a subject with all its weakness, its debility, hold the place ofthe Truth and even ensure that this has results? He places himself in it inthis way, namely, a Knowledge. [To be corrected, insert arrows andbars]o > S 2 (hesitation) o > S 1$ S i $ S 2Is it not like that that I wrote it at the time?- J-A Miller: $ at the place of S 1 , S 1 at the place of S 2 and S 2 at the placeof $o > $S 2 S 1- Lacan: - You see that it is easy to get confused with this!Yes. Undoubtedly it is better like that. It is undoubtedly better like that, butit is still more troubling like that, I mean that the gap between S 1 and S 2 ismore striking because there is something interrupted and that in short S 1 , isonly the beginning of knowledge; but a knowledge which is content toalways commence, as they say, ends up at nothing. This indeed is why,when I went to Brussels, I did not speak about psychoanalysis in the best ofterms. There are some that I recognise who were there.Good. To commence to know in order not to arrive, is something whichgoes when all is said and done, rather well with what I call my lack of hope,but finally that implies a name, a term it remains for me to allow you toguess – the Belgian people who heard me speak in Brussels being free toshare it with you or not.100
Seminar 9: Wednesday 15 March 1977There are people well intentioned towards me – and already that raises amountain of problems: how account for the fact that people are wellintentioned towards me? It is because they do not know me; for, as regardsmyself, I am not full of good intentions – in any case these well intentionedpeople have sometimes written letters tending... – in any case, it waswritten..., it was written that my stammerings the last time about thediscourse that I call analytic, was a slip. They wrote that textually. Whatdistinguishes a slip from gross error? I have all the more tendency, for mypart, to classify as error, what is qualified as a slip, in that all the same Ihave spoken a little bit about this analytic discourse; when I speak, Iimagine I am saying something. The annoying thing is that where I make aslip, or I am supposed to have made a slip, it was in material, as I might say,in written material that I made the slip. That takes on a particularimportance when it is a matter of something written by someone - , me onthis particular occasion - by someone who has been found out. Formerly Idid happen to say, in imitation moreover of someone who was a celebratedpainter: ‘I do not seek, I find.’ At the point that I am at, I do not so muchfind as search, in other words I go around in circles. This indeed is whathappened in connection with this slip, the fact is that the letters written werenot in the right direction (sens), in the direction that they turn, but weremixed up. It should all the same be clearly said that I did not make this slipaltogether without reason, I mean that I certainly imagined the order inwhich the letters turned, but I think I know at least what I wanted to say.I am going to try today to explain what. I am encouraged to do so by thehearing that I received last evening at the Ecole Freudienne from a MadameKress-Rosen. I am not going to ask her to stand up, even though I canclearly see her. I even became quite concerned to know if she were amongwhat are called the listeners (auditrices) and I do not see why I should put101
