What interests us is the precise role of the Oedipus complex in this convergence. For if it is true that the familial themes often erupt into the psychotic consciousness, we would be all the more surprised--in line with a remark by Lacan--if Oedipus were in fact "discovered" in neurosis where it is supposed to be latent, rather than in psychosis where it is held to be patent. But isn't it true instead that, in psychosis, the familial complex appears precisely as a stimulus whose quality is a matter of indifference, a simple inductor not playing the role of organizer, where the intensive investments of reality bear on something totally different (the social, historical, and cultural fields)?
Heh, perhaps one isn't meant to do this meme at work. In a library. But it was the book closest to me. The second closest book is a math journal. In French.
Also, keep a lookout for a real post from me later. Maybe. Hopefully. Heh.
