When the analysand speaks in a psychoanalytic session, Lacan suggests that it is necessary to bracket the subject who seems to speak and to ask, "'Who is speaking?' when it is the voice of the unconscious that is at issue. For this reply cannot come from the subject if he does not know what he is saying, or even if he is speaking, as the entire experience of analysis has taught us" (Écrits 299). -Subjects of Desire: Hegelian Reflections in 20th-Century France by Judith Butler.
This actually got me to laugh. It's genius. It's obvious. All throughout reading Freud, I've never quite understood this unconscious speaker. If one is speaking is he not doing so on behalf of consciousness? Anyway, I'm meeting a professor in thirty, and have been trying to delve into my rationale finally: The Desire to be within The Other. I am way behind, and this is half the cause of my anxiety, but I think if I can allow myself to achieve a healthier state of mind, than I can become fascinated and immersed within my study. I SHOULD BE enjoying this, since after all it's engaging with my obsession, this question I will never able to resolve. Just as I let myself fall into a troubled mind, I need to let myself get healthy. As for fiction, the only work I should be reading (personally and professionally) is Woolf and Faulkner. However it goes without saying that I buy loads of literature weekly, knowingly having no time to delve in; buuuut, I am absolutely impressed with this novel I just bought by Antonio Tabucchi.
