This <strong>in</strong>deed is the way <strong>in</strong> which the famous Unconscious presents itself. ThisUnconscious, is, when all is said and done, impossible to grasp. It does notrepresent, - I spoke earlier about paradoxes as be<strong>in</strong>g representable, namely,depictable – there is no possible depiction of the Unconscious. The Unconsciousis limited to an attribution, to a substance, to someth<strong>in</strong>g that is supposed to bebeneath and what psychoanalysis enunciates, is very precisely the follow<strong>in</strong>g, thatit is only, I say, a deduction, a supposed deduction, noth<strong>in</strong>g more. That withwhich I tried to give it body with the creation of the Symbolic has very preciselythis dest<strong>in</strong>y which is that this does not arrive at its dest<strong>in</strong>ation.How does it happen nevertheless that it is enunciated? That is the central<strong>in</strong>troduction of psychoanalysis. I will stick with that for today. I hope to be able <strong>in</strong>a week’s time, s<strong>in</strong>ce there will be a 17 May, - God knows why! – anyway it hasbeen announced to me that there will be a 17 May, and that here I have not toomany exam<strong>in</strong>ees, unless it is you that I will exam<strong>in</strong>e and perhaps I will question <strong>in</strong>the hope that someth<strong>in</strong>g of what I say have got across. Au revoir!121
