the plane on the axis on the graph, on the axis of i of o; if you wish, it is a specularrelation. Another message arrives to Bozef that will be placed for its part on thetrajectory of subjectification, that I put in green, that will arrive directly thereforeon the plane through the symbolic plane. You see therefore that the importantthing here is the fact that Bozef who was in a position of foolishness, of thefoolishness of B1, because of the inversion of the message that comes back tohim, namely, this time the Other knows, is displaced. He can no longer remain atB1, he finds himself at B2. And at B2, I would say that he is here in the position ofsemblance, he can still support himself in the position that I would describe asthat of duplicity since at B2 he can still say to himself: ‘Yes, he knows, but he doesnot know that I know he knows’. So then I am now going to write, before goingany further, the first episode on Lacan’s graph.There, the position of the Other, the message leaves from the Other; there is theego position of Bozef that I am writing as B1. The message starts from Bozef whogives it to the messenger who would be i of o the message that I called m1,namely, that this circuit says: he does not know. The messenger does hisbusiness, transmits this message along this path which makes the king go from R1to R2. The effect starting from there, starting from the new position of the Otheris going to carry Bozef who was at B1, here an elementary subject effect whatLacan would call the signified of the Other, at the level of B2, namely, that one canalso draw this arrow.Bozef also receives a message,one might say, at the level in theaxis of o – o’ of the messenger.You see therefore that oursubject Bozef is at B2, I am nowgoing to make, to introduceanother graph of Lacan’s.I continue therefore, I left, as yousee, Bozef at B2, being sustainedby the position of duplicity that Ihave described for you, since he64
is in the position of maintaining the idea of the ignorance of the Other. Nowthings, it is here that things begin to become really interesting for us and muchmore complicated. Starting from this position B2 of Bozef, here’s what is going tohappen: Bozef continues the operation of the transmission of his knowledge,namely, that to the messenger that I draw in the position of M2, he is going totransmit a second message that I call m2 and in this message he says to him: ‘Yes,he knows, but he does not know that I know’. The messenger at M2 does thesame work, retransmits this message to the king, the king passes therefore to anew knowledge, goes from R2 to R3; the knowledge of the king at that point is:‘He knows that I know that he knows that I know’; but that is something thatBozef does not yet know, he will only know it when the messenger makes his lasttrip, comes back to Bozef and confides to him: ‘I told the king that you know thathe knows that you know that he knows’, namely, that, at this point Bozef whomwe have left at B2 is propelled into a new position that I am calling B3, startingfrom which we are going to question the second graph of Lacan, in a veryparticular way and starting from which we are going to begin to be able tointroduce what is involved in the passe.I am therefore going to continue, to end the schema before continuing.Here is M2, m1, m1.Bozef whom I left at B2 here (2), I replace here at B2 (1), namely, that hetransmits to M2, he transmits m2, he says to him: ‘He knows, but he does notknow that I know that he knows’. Just like earlier this message arrives at theOther also like the following (2) and the return of this message to Bozef puts himin this very particular position of being confronted to an Other from whom he canno longer hide anything. The king...Good, I hope that you can follow me, even though it’s a bit of a zigzag. Whathappens therefore when the king is at R3, namely, when he is in the position ofknowing what I have indicated to you and that this knowledge is known by thereturn of the messenger to Bozef, namely, that Bozef may think: ‘The king knowsthat I know that he knows that I know’. What is going to happen at that very65
