ABSTRACT

A form of writing or what for J. Lacan constitutes a new enigmatic ego that ties the Real and the Symbolic together. Lacan said that to understand topology the knots had to be made with ordinary materials. This is an example of a Real practice. Lacan states that behind the process of verbalisation there is a primordial Bejahung, an admission in the sense of the Symbolic, which can itself be missing. The first knot represents the psychotic structure where the imaginary is loose because the imaginary phallus that the child was for the mother was not "castrated" and the symbolic Name of the Father (NoF) was not installed due to its foreclosure, The imaginary function of the father or the NoF that produces repression and imaginary castration and desire as a lack has not occurred as a formative moment of subjectivity.
