"[[Radiophonie]]" (<i>Autres écrits</i>) is an interview recorded while <i>L'envers...</i> is taking place. In it Lacan declares that if "[[language]] is the condition of the unconscious, the unconscious is the condition of [[linguistics]]." Freud anticipates [[Saussure]] and the Prague Circle when he sticks to the [[patient]]'s [[words]], [[jokes]], [[slips of the tongue]], and brings to light the importance of [[condensation]] and [[displacement]] in the production of [[dreams]]. The unconscious is the fact "that [[The Subject|the subject]] is not the one who [[knows]] what he says. Whoever articulates the unconscious says that it is either that or [[nothing]]." Linguistics has no hold on the unconscious since it leaves as a blank that which produces effects on the unconscious, the <i>objet a</i>, the focus of the analytic act - of any act. "Only the discourse that defines itself in [[terms]] given by psychoanalysis manifests [[The Subject|the subject ]] as other, whereas science, by making the subject a master, conceals him, so the desire that gives way to him bars the subject for me without remedy." There is only one [[myth]] in Lacan's discourse: the [[Freudian]] [[Oedipus Complex|Oedipus complex]]. "In psychoanalysis, as well as in the unconscious, man knows nothing of woman, and woman nothing of man. The [[phallus]] epitomizes the point in myth where the [[sexual]] becomes the [[passion]] of the signifier." There is, however, no [[algebraic]] [[formula]] for the unconscious discourse: "...the unconscious is only the [[metaphorical]] term designating the knowledge only sustained when presented as impossible, so that it can conform by being real - real discourse." <!--1969-1970<b>Le séminaire, Livre XVII: L'envers de la [[psychanalyse]].</b><br>[[French]]: (texte établi par Jacques-[[Alain]] [[Miller]]), [[Paris]]: Seuil, 1991.<br>[[English]]: unpublished. {| style="width:100%; border:1px solid #aaa;text-align:left; line-height:2.0em; padding-left:10px;"|width="100%"| [[Jacques Lacan|Lacan, Jacques]].
