Seminar XXIV Final Sessions 1 - Lacan in Ireland

slipping from word to word, and this indeed is what is at stake when we use thewrong key to open a door which precisely this key does not open. Freud hastensto tell us that we thought that it opened this door but that we were mistaken.Bévue is indeed the only sense that remains for this consciousness. Consciousnesshas no other support than to permit a bévue. It is very disturbing because thisconsciousness strongly resembles the Unconscious, since it is what we say isresponsible, responsible for all the bévue’s that make us dream. Dream in thename of what? Of what I called the o-object, namely, that by which by thesubject, who, essentially, is divided, barred, namely, still more barred than theOther.This is what I am racking my brains about.

The S index 1 and the Sindex 2, is very precisely what I designated by the divided O of which I made asignifier S(Ø).120
