ABSTRACT
The merit of the formulae of sexuation comes down, first of all, to not treating separately these two aspects of the same question and operating on the universal so that, by making it trip up at the right place, to deconstruct the sexually opposed couple which, in a first phase, served to pose it. The clinical vignette was born in the crucible of the minimal particular by reason of its belief in conformity (up to that, nothing serious), but it very quickly surrounded this exercise with a naivety that makes it ignore the limits of its relevance and inflates it then with a false scientific and moral rigour which tends to exclude it from the very clinic that it lays claim to. ‘There is no sexual rapport’ marks a disparity between the sexes such that, far from reducing sexual difference, it amplifies it to the point of making them incommensurable.
