A swarm of sanharó

does It pass?

Abstract

This work is a first testimony of pass carried out within the framework of a School of Psychoanalysis, from the function of Analyst of the School. A writing effect of points of passage sustains questions: how can an analysis operate a rupture, making knowledge appear as cut, hole, an operation of language? How can an analytic experience embroidered around a void, with elements of a life diverted by the poetics of language, make a structural saying pass from the singular? In this fragment, a “fear of being caught — or beaten — (in speaking)” gives a contingent enunciative form to a phantasmatic attire that insists through the different versions of symptomatic presentation in the embarrassments of speech, functioning as a defense in the face of the worded misencounter with the Other. Under transference, speech sustains the neurotic illusion of a Subject Supposed to Know mastering language. Through the analytic operation, a dismantling unveils structural solitude, through which one may allow oneself to be caught by the Real of language. In this crossing, would the equivocity of speaking, once an obstacle, be reinscribed as a kind of sinthome, coming to operate as cause, as a singular way of dealing with the impossible to say? The ethical wager on the pass is that a testimony, caught by the pranks of lalangue, may, in its own form, give notice of how the Unconscious makes itself present: not as content, but as an act of language — restoring to language, in our field, something of its poetic, performative, inventive, and non-hierarchical potency. To smuggle with lalangue, to deviate from the norm of univocal meaning — not for the swarm to pass, but to pass the swarm on.
