ABSTRACT
This chapter explains why interpretation, from a Jacques Lacanian point of view, should not make sense, but should rather look for the nonsensical, the enigmatic, the unbelievable and the incomprehensible. The Lacanian interpretation must go beneath wisdom and explores the truth of its real support, granted, but it must also acknowledge the negativity and impossibility of this support. A Lacanian interpretation openly introduces signifiers that are treated as pure signifiers, simple words, and constituent elements of a psychic language whose symbolic universe excludes the existence of any kind of psychological metalanguage. The psychological hypothesis functions as wisdom that prevents its own subversion by exorcizing the unforeseeable novelty of the truth. However, unlike psychological imaginary concepts, these real things cannot be supposedly signified by the psychic signifiers of the symbolic functioning. Since they are real, they cannot compose an imaginary mental metalanguage outside the symbolic universe of language.
