It is this assumption that [[Lacan]] challenges, aruging that analytic [[interpretation]]s should no longer aim at discovering a hidden meaning, but rather at disrupting meaning.
<blockquote>"Interpretation is directed not so much at 'making sense' as towards reducing the signifiers to their 'non-sense' in order thereby to find the determinants of all the subject's conduct."<ref>{{S11}} p.212</ref></blockquote>
[[Interpretation]] thus inverts the relationship between [[signifier]] and [[signified]]: instead of the normal production of [[meaning]] ([[signifier]] produces [[signified]]), [[interpretation]] works at the level of ''s'' to generate S: [[interpretation]] causes "irreducible signifiers" to arise, which are "non-sensical."<ref>{{S11}} p.250</ref>
