Does that mean that here it is the same thing, I mean that from the samepoint of view one can put what is below above and inversely? This indeedis in effect what the double Moebius strip realises. I apologise foradventuring into something which was not without some trouble for me, butit is certain that that is the way it is. If you work at producing in the sameway as I presented this double Moebius strip to you, namely, by folding twopages, two pages thus cut out in such a way that the one is going to beconjoined to the second page and that inversely the second page is going tobe conjoined to page 1, you will have exactly this result, this result aboutwhich you can note that one can make pass indifferently the one as I mightsay in front of the other, page 1 in front of page 2, and inversely page 2 infront of page 1.What is the suspension which results from this highlighting, thishighlighting of the fact that in the double Moebius strip what is in frontfrom the same point of view can pass behind from the point of view whichremains the same. This leads us to something which, I am encouraging youto it, is of the order of know-how, a know-how which is demonstrative inthis sense that it does not happen without the possibility of an une-bévue.For this possibility to be extinguished, it has to cease to be written, namely,that we should find a way, and in this case a dominant way, a way ofdistinguishing the two cases.What is the way of distinguishing these two cases?This interests us because the une-bévue is something which substitutes forwhat is founded as knowledge that one knows, the principle of knowledgethat one knows without knowing it (sans le savoir). The ‘le’ here is broughtto bear on something, the ‘le’ is a pronoun on this particular occasion whichrefers to knowledge itself qua, not as knowledge, but what to do aboutknowing. This indeed is why the unconscious lends itself to what I thoughtI should suspend under the title of the une-bévue.28
The inside and the outside in this particular case, namely, as regards thetorus, are they notions of structure or of form? Everything depends on theconception that one has of space and I would say up to a certain point ofwhat we highlight as the truth of space. There is certainly a truth of spacewhich is that of the body. In this case, the body is something which canonly be founded on the truth of space, which indeed is where the sort ofasymmetry that I highlight has its foundations. This asymmetry depends onthe fact that I designated as the same point of view. And this indeed is whywhat I wanted to introduce this year is something which is important for me.There is the same asymmetry not simply concerning the body, butconcerning what I designated in terms of the Symbolic. There is anasymmetry of the signifier and of the signified which remains enigmatic.The question that I would like to advance this year is exactly the following:is the asymmetry of the signifier and of the signified of the same nature asthat of the container and the contained which is all the same somethingwhich has its function for the body?29
