[[Lacan]] takes a stand in the crisis of the [[university]] that follows [[May 1968]]: "If [[psychoanalysis]] cannot be articulated as a [[knowledge]] and taught as such, it has no [[place]] in Academia, where it is only a matter of knowledge." He rejects nonconceptualization: [[structure]] is the [[real]]. Dealing with the passage from <i>[[objet]] a</i> to the [[Other]] and from the Other to <i>[[objet a]]</i>, Lacan analyzes and combines [[Pascal]], [[Marx]] and the [[logic]] of the link between l, the unbroken line, the <i>[[trait]] unitaire</i> of <i>L'[[identification]]</i> and <i>a</i> as follows:<br>
Perhaps, [[sexual]] [[difference]] enters here in an unexpected way: the [[reason]] why the supergo is stronger in man is that it is man, not [[woman]], who is intensely related to this [[excess]] of the surplus-<i>jouissance</i> over the pacifying functionning of the [[symbolic]] Law. In [[terms]] of the [[paternal function]], the opposition between the pacifying symbolic Law and the excessive supergo [[injunction]] is the one between the Name-of-the-Father (the paternal symbolic [[authority]]) and the "primordial father," allowed to [[enjoy]] all [[women]]. This rapist "primordial father" is a [[male]] ([[obsessional]]), not feminine ([[hysterical]]), fantasy: it is man who is able to endure his integration into [[the symbolic]] order only when this integration is sustained by some hidden reference to the fantasy of the unbridled excessive <i>jouissance</i> embodied in the unconditional supergo injunction to enjoy, <i>jouir</i> to go to the extreme, to trangress and force constantly the [[limit]]. It is man in whom the integration into the [[symbolic order]] is sustained by the superego exception."<br>
