Abstract

ANGELAKI journal of the theoretical humanities volume 8 number 3 december 2003 Therapy of neuroses is only one of the uses of psychoanalysis; perhaps the future will show that it is not the most important. Consider the flight of a bee. A bee goes from flower to flower gathering nectar. What you discover is that, at the tip of its feet, the bee transports pollen from one flower onto the pistil of another flower. That is what you read in the flight of a bee … But does it read? Does the bee read that it serves a function in the reproduction of phanerogamic plants? … In your analytic discourse, you assume that the subject of the unconscious knows how to read … Not only do you assume that it knows filip kovacevic how to read, but you assume that it can learn how to read. I would call “political” something that – in the LACANIANS AND THE categories, the slogans, the statements it puts forward – is less a demand of a social fraction FATE OF CRITICAL or community to be integrated into the exist- ing order than something which touches on a THEORY transformation of that order
