- Description
- Psychoanalytic exploration of several unexpected happy outcomes in CT where links between sexual "emergence and abeyance . . . issue in the hope of a beneficent future." MerT "focuses on the Real by way of an impossible suffering of enjoyment through the symptom." Interlocking "exchanges of language, women, and money" foreground the "imaginary Ideology" of FranT. ShT "maps . . . equivalences between words, sex, and money." In MilT (along with FrT and SumT), "imaginary rivalry, aggression, and revenge" depend upon "the lie," reaffirming "their dependence on the values of exchange and social being." NPT links "the Real, symbolic, and imaginary registers in the voice of a narrator who is an object of the unconscious."
