Sigmund Freud encountered the problem of having to analyse the relation between origin and result: from the sexual drive to love. He thinks this account is unavoidable and will invoke the necessity of the introduction of Eros, and of his own discomfort at giving the impression of seeking an ‘elegant’ turn of phrase to get across the message of sexuality. He steps back from this by asserting the equivalence of Eros and love. Two levels emerge here: the first encompassing sexual drives and love drives; the second love-relations as ‘bonds of feeling’, able to manifest themselves beyond the limits of an individual body. Key notions such as force, inferiority, transition, migration, movements to and fro, unstable localisation, the tendency of something to return to a place it was driven from—in short, the whole of that dynamics described by Freud and which can be felt in any analytic session, can also arise from this kind of lexical analysis.
