ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that follow delineate first the motion of retranscription in which signifiers written in the sand of the flesh turn speech, and then various forms in which the real residues of the written manifest themselves as forms of speech in various clinical structures. It considers S. Freud and J. Lacan’s treatments of various intersections of language and movement, articulating these treatments with a psychoanalytic reading of the category of scheme in Aristotle’s works on language. Rotational motion is infinite, an attribute Lacan in his later teaching would associate with other jouissance foreign to the moderating effects of the symbolic and situated as real. In terms of Aristotelian physics, the moment of transformation Lacan speaks of in the fourth seminar when jouissance is annihilated for the subject would be the transition of rotational into rectilinear motion, made possible by a boundary which contains.
