Psychoanalysis Cannot Be Illustrated

Abstract

The concepts of psychoanalysis are functional and as such have no materiality, so they cannot be represented than than through mathemes (Lacan dixit), but not from the imaginary angle. Moreover, such an imaginarization participates in perversion, both in theory and in the clinic. Thus—to limit ourselves to a single example—the phallus (i.e., the phallic function operating under the adjunct concept of castration) is in no way the penis. If we confuse them, we move on to voyeurism and exhibitionism. Lacan, the exhibition presents this harmful character of the pathologization of analytic discourse.
