the stage


"The unconscious is that which, precisely, is obfuscated by the phantasmatic scenarios the pervert is acting out: the pervert, with his certainty about what brings enjoyment, obfuscates the gap, the ‘burning question’, the stumbling block, that ‘is’ the core of the unconscious. The pervert is thus the ‘inherent transgressor’ par excellence. He brings to light, stages, practices the secret fantasies that sustain the predominant public discourse, while the hysterical position precisely displays doubt about whether these those secret perverse fantasies are ‘really it’. Hysteria is not simply the battleground between secret desires and symbolic prohibitions; it also, and above all, articulates the gnawing doubt whether secret desires really contain what they promise-whether our inability to enjoy really hinges only on symbolic prohibitions. In other words , the pervert precludes the unconscious because he knows the answer(to what brings jouissance to the other); he has no doubts about it; his position is unshakable; while the hysteric doubts-that is, her position is that of an eternal and constitutive (self) questioning: What does the Other want from me? What am I for the Other?"
