ABSTRACT
Tiresias is a male mythological figure transformed into a woman for seven years and then back into his original sex. As a male who had experienced female jouissance he could be seen as master of its knowledge. For feminine sexuality bears an 'impossible' rapport: a relation, which is beyond human relationships. Transgressing with-in-to the feminine with-in borderlinking with-in-to the other is in itself a kind of knowledge, transcribed. Both Tiresias and Antigone represent transgressing with-in-to the feminine. Antigone incarnates the death-drive, and Lacan adds that she incarnates the desire of the Other linked to the desire of the mother which is the origin of every desire, 'the founding desire' which is also 'a criminal desire' for it was in this case incestuous. Transgression becomes an ontogenetic memory and meaning of sharing in distance-in-proximity with-in the trauma of the other.
