ABSTRACT

The RUCS is a-structural: far from being constructed or interpreted, it is encountered in emergences that are always punctual and which defy both awareness and communication. The real jouissance disconnected from the subject must be knotted to the word, between Symbolic and Real, in order to be decipherable in analysis. The necessity of a new framework that allows the unthinkable Real to be situated is not in doubt. However, handling it is not without difficulty when it is a question of thinking about the analytic experience. This difficulty is due to the fact that a knot presents a synchronic structure whereas analysis takes place within time. With the knot, Lacan tried to retranslate what happens in the time of an analysis, no longer in terms of metaphor and metonymy with their anchoring or vanishing points, but in terms of a knot being made, being transformed, being undone, etc.
