The text/pictures on the black background below ( in
the full version) present the first edition of the page. It is an attempt
to clarify and break through the inhibition of failure that Freud then Lacan
encountered when they engaged in the description of the Superego.
What is Superego?
The Superego is that which manifests through
coherent, moral and rational commands, yet irrealistc since they surpass
what the ego with the 'id' are really able to do (or not do) - as an example:
Thou shall not commit adultery is often not applicable in many
social cases.
What causes the
Superego? In
the space beyond the mirror of the Optical
Model, a box does not show its content (its back side facing the mirror
- see also the Cave). This can be
compared with a blind-spot, a hole in the social fabric (the reality
network, the fabric of the significations (significands) which mirror the
Real). Since such place and/or its content are severed from
the fabric of reality, what emanates from it is unconditional (without link,
negociation, comparison). In Freud's system this hole holds the dead father
or messiah who as been murdered - and whose murder is not remembered or
articulated by the social fabric (guilt etc...).
Different is
Lacan's view; he considered that there was life in this reserved area
- where he saw the special mini-group (see the
tree-faced icone) which is
the Oedipian family. From an early child point of view, a
family is so restricted and independant from the rest of the society, that
it seems without links with the collectivity. Therefore,
later, the rule that it issues seems to emanate like a voice from
a hole (no attachement/continuity with the social surrounding).
From these two
perspectives, in the Freudian view, the ghostly voice is the voice
of the collectivity (the primitive father had little to say since he
is dead, and even his fate had reflected the society). It is all the oppositve
in the Lacanian view since this voice cannot come from the
society (since it is founded in the separation from it) - (see
Fonction de la Psychanalyse en Criminologie).
It is also possible
the use the Four Discourses formula, where this
'black box' area is allocated to the place for the product. After
Freud (the product is the murdered father) and Lacan (the
product is the Oedipian family),
PLAN
allows theorizing that a living human body
can be there (as we say that a professor, a president is a human
product of the society). This is possible
with Durkheim's sociology which integrates the professions,
social roles and functions as the significands of the social fabric.
The voices of the professor, the president etc... are therefore superegotic,
unavoidably they are severed from the reality.
Freud wished
that his discovery could be applied to the production of the society
- Lacan also suggested that transference could be used in order to disclose
the irrealism of the professional delivery of truth.
They both failed and the academia is still
unable to evaluate the real origin of the Oedipus
Complex in front of the population.
PLAN
also predicts this failure, as long as a
human is living in the product place, he will compromise with the
counter-transference of his pair.
It shows also
that there is a fourth
possibility:.it is clear that the progressive
apparatus of Cybernetics can occupy
the product place as sus-defined. In this case a new circuit is
allowed - as the diagram below illustrates: transference then does not
bounce (counter-transference) but passes through the analyst and
invests what Freud's diagram had identified as the exterior object, which
can be recognized today as the Environment. So, when Cybernetics is
in place of the product, Psychoanalysis develops and ecological logic
(instead of the ill-logic of the Superego).
The graphics and the original edition of this page can be continued in the
CYBEK's members area - from where the entire site can also be downloaded
as a self-extracting file - and then studied more at ease on a Hard-Drive
