1955 (36 pp.)-LA CHOSE FREUDIENNE OU SENS DU RETOUR A FREUD EN PSYCHANALYSE (THE FREUDIAN THING, OR THE MEANING OF THE RETURN TO FREUD IN PSYCHOANALYSIS)-1956
On November 7, 1955, [[Lacan]] gave a paper at the neuropsychiatric [[clinic]] of Prof. Hoff in [[Vienna]], followed by a [[discussion]] [[session]] among [[analysts]]. He gave an account of the paper in Seminaire III (30). Then, after the fact, he wrote it for the E.P. and later, in 1966, he revised the [[text]] again. This shows how all ached he was to this digest of "four years of teaching." After the outdated [[rhetoric]] of the preamble, the presentation is organized around force�ful subtitles and contains inspired accents: the unforgettable prosopopeia of [[truth]] ("I, Truth, will [[speak]]"), like Diana [[speaking]] to men, her lovers, through Actaeon-[[Freud]] (Lacan?), and telling [[them]] to hear "literally" what "the professor-Freud" (Lacan?) said [[about]] her. Also unforgettable are the parodic prosopopeia of the "desk" where the [[object]] speaks, "the unripe grape of [[speech]]" (on the [[Father]]'s side) and "the bunch of wrath" (on the [[Mother]]'s side) that inhabit the [[child]], or the avenging expressions against his opponents, these" managers of the soul."
What remains of all this? It may be surprising that Lacan rediscovered Freud through a line of moralists (Gracian, La Rochefoucauld, [[Nietzsche]]):
"The latest to join them, and, like them, stimulated no [[doubt]] by a properly [[Christian]] concern for the authenticity of the movement of the soul, Freud was able to precipitate a [[whole]] casuistics into a map of Tendre,c which has only to be set in accordance with the offices for which it was intended." Against the [[Anglo-Saxon]] "success" or "[[happiness]]," the reign of the [[Other]] in the [[Schema]] L (27, 31) "extends as far into the [[subject]] as the laws of speech reign," the laws that are the binary laws of cybernetics ([[presence]]-[[absence]]) as well as the laws of kinship and alliance ([[Oedipus]]) where the commerce in [[women]] is held to be prior to all [[others]]. Finally, the Wo Es war, soil Ich werden (There where it was [La Ol~ c' (s') hair], must I come to be [dois-Je
c. The Pays dCl Tel/dre was an allegorical country in which [[love]] was the sole preoc�cupation. It was the creation of Mlle. de Scudcry and other novelists of the seventeenth century.

Here, it is a question of a "[[murder]] party. "d Everywhere, indeed, metaphors of [[death]] blossom. Logically, then, the function of the [[analyst]] is to "cadaver�ize his [[position]]" by his [[silence]]. Whether he embodies the Other or the other, "he makes death [[present]]." Is this the [[vision]] of an [[analysand]] or of an analyst? Is it the emblem of the founding [[dead]] Father? [[Jung]] is supposed to have passed on to Lacan Freud's [[words]] as he was sailing towards the [[United States]]:
"They do not realize we're bringing them the plague."
