ABSTRACT
While Chapter 5 analyzes the three key empty signifiers used to positivize each of the three levels of experience that Lacan developed in his work (Imaginary-Symbolic-Real), chapter 6 articulates the idea of the void, the kernel of the Borromean knot, as the space in which strategies for the deactivation of the revolutionary act to transgress fantasy. Thus, the chapter focuses on the different outcomes that an encounter with the Real may present and, additionally, this chapter aims to see how the Real (the feminine) is deactivated by its ciphering to introduce it into the realm of Reality by taming the idea of the feminine into the idea of woman through the development of the Capitalist’s Discourse. Furthermore, by departing from Žižek’s classification of acts, this chapter articulates a different classification that does not focus on the form of the act but in its content to add a feminist turn to earlier classifications of acts. In this sense, by focusing on the content of the acts and not on its form, this classification deactivates extreme-right demonstrations as possible acts by focusing on who the agent of an act can be.
