Abstract
This is about an entire programme in the etymological sense of pre-script – meaning a preceding script, command and arrangement at the same time – and it is not certain whether psychoanalysts have always complied with this agenda. What constitutes this programme? It understands the unconscious as the effect of a transmission, of the passing on of a text, as a message that is directed to every individual. We only gain access to the unconscious with the aid of a dispositive, an element to which interpretation refers. Psychoanalysis can only survive if its practitioners preserve this dispositive; however, confronting its doctrinal significance is no less decisive. I believe that, despite the extensive literature on the function of interpretation – e.g. in transference – we have not yet fully comprehended its full extent. Perhaps the work of Pierre Legendre can enable us to shed some light on these matters.
