The distinction between the shape and the structure is important here. It isnot for nothing that I marked here something which is a torus, is a toruseven though its shape does not allow this to appear. Is the shape somethingwhich lends itself to suggestion? Here is the question that I am posing, andthat I pose while advancing the primacy of the structure.Here it is difficult for me not to put forward the fact that the Klein bottle,this old Klein bottle that I made so much of, if I remember correctly, in theFour fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis, this old Klein bottle has inreality that shape there. It is strictly nothing other than this, except for thefact that for it to become a bottle we correct it in this way (in red), namelythat we have made it come back in the following shape, that we have madeit come back in such a way that we no longer comprehend anything about itsessential nature. Is there not effectively, in the fact of calling it a bottle, isthere not here a falsification, a falsification with respect to the fact that onlyits presentation here in green is the something that precisely allows it to beimmediately grasped the way in which the junction of the front is made withthe back, namely everything that is cut out in this surface, on condition ofmaking it complete, and that is again a question: what is meant by making acut which involves the whole of the surface?These are the questions that I ask myself and that I hope to be able toresolve this year, I mean that this brings us to something fundamental as30
egards the structure of the body, or more exactly of the body considered asstructure. That the body is able to present all sorts of aspects which are ofpure shape, that just now I made dependent on suggestion, this is what isimportant for me. The difference of the shape, of the shape insofar as it isalways more or less suggested with the structure, that is what I would likethis year to highlight for you.You must excuse me. This, I must say, is assuredly not the best thing that Icould have brought to you this morning. I had, as you see, I had the greatworry, I am floundering, - there is a case for saying, it is not the first time - Iam floundering in what I have to put forward to you and that is why I amleaving to give you the opportunity to have someone who will be thismorning a better orator than I, I mean Alain Didier who is here present, andwhom I invite to come to tell you what he has drawn from certain data ofmine, which are the drawings of writing and which he would really like toshare with you.- Alain Didier: Good. I must say first of all that Dr Lacan is taking mecompletely by surprise, that I was not warned that he proposed to give methe floor to try to take up again a point about which I spoke to him thesedays, of which I should tell you right away that personally I am not makingany articulation whatsoever with what we are being told at present. I senseit confusedly perhaps, but it is not....do not expect therefore me to articulatewhat I am going to say with the problems in topology about which Dr Lacanis talking at the moment. The problem that I was trying to articulate, is totry to articulate in a rather consequential way with what Dr Lacancontributed about the montage of the drive, to try starting from the problemof the circuit of the drive, different torsions which appear to me can belocated between the subject and the Other, different moments in which twoor three torsions are articulated.For me this remains a little hypothetical, but anyway I am going to try toretrace for you how things can like that be put in place. So then the drive,the instinctual circuit from which I will start, in order to try to advance, will31
