Abstract EN:

By responding to the invitation to "tell everything", the analysand hopes to bring out the unconscious he is the subject to and end up with the complete reconstitution of his history, through the discovery of the truth written in the envelope of the symptom. Because it is bound to the fundamental fantasy, the symptom "is always being written", "it speaks" within him but where "jouissance" is involved. Not all of the symptom can be interpreted : the envelope encloses a kernel of real which can only be glimpsed after the meaning has been exhausted. It is this kernel of the real that makes write. A real that one "gets used to", that does not count, it turns the cure into a practice of identification and leads to the written that shows that "the ego has reached where the id was before". On the contrary, a real which awakens, it forces to deal with a remainder that does not count, the replacement of impotence by an impossible, makes leave the field of the signifier for that of the letter of the single real which causes the subject. By writing, the analysand rediscovers the "original writing-cure" that Freud pursued when writing "traumdeutung" and declared self-analysis impossible, wishing to transmit a knowledge which unveils something of the mystery of the id constituted by the real. If the writing-down of the ego moves us away from analysis, some writers such as M. Duras and J. Joyce, have been able, through their writing to reach what can be expected at the end of the analysis, the imaginary disidentification, by dissolving the "mirages of narcissism" on the one hand, and the literal identification of the symptom on the other. Two styles of writing which fend off any idea of realization
