ALTHOUGH Nobody there. The vase of cut flowers with which the real is (before us on this page) permeated is it a page look hard (I try)-this bouquet in its vase-tiger dahlias (red and white), orange freesia (three stalks) (floating out), one large blue-mauve hydrangea-head, still wet (this bending falling heavy with load) (and yellow rose) (wide open head, three just-slitting buds) (also holding drops of rain) each at diagonal, urchins in sea-sway, this from the real, which the real may continue (who can know this) to hold, this of which the real is just now made-blue-green glazed vase on the worn wood table-eak with water stains from where the rain sweeps sideways in the wind though today it is dry reflected in this mirror hung outdoors, under a roofed alcove, the field in it also, the trees so still one imagines as one always (47)

Dear EMMA COX, We have recently been asked to remove you from the NHS Cervical Screening Programme by your GP or a health professional. This is because you are no longer at risk of cervical cancer due to having no cervix.

important to understand those things- words you use and how they're experienced by the patient. I had a patient who was going into a manic episode. He rang me in the evening to reassure me that he was all right, that he wasn't going mad and things were better. I had to say something, and I wanted to take the positive side because he was sorting of reassuring me. I said, "you wanted to ring me to re-establish some contact between us." I didn't say "to get in touch with me," because I knew if I used the words "to get in touch" it would create an erotic image in his mind. It might play into his erotomania. But it turned out "contact" was the wrong word, too. Because when he did go into a completely psychotic state, one of the most persecuting things was my word "contact." It became an electric wire burning in his mind.

What is the famous traumatism we began with, the famous primal scene that enters into the subjects economy, which is in play at the heart and on the horizon of the discovery of the unconscious? What is it if not a signifier whose impact on life i began describing to you earlier? The living being is grasped as living, as alive, but with this gap or distance that is precisely what constitutes both the signifying dimension's autonomy and the trauma or primitive scene. What is this then, if it's not this life that grasps itself in a

dures of the law, that might explain the overall workings of what I would call a "normalizing society." To be more specific, what I mean is this: I think that normalization, that disciplinary normalizations, are increasingly in conflict with the juridical system of sovereignty; the incompatibility of the two is increasingly apparent; there is a greater and greater need for a sort of arbitrating discourse, for a sort of power and knowledge that has been rendered neutral because its scientificity has become sacred. And it is precisely in the expansion of medicine that we are seeing-I wouldn't call it a combination of, a reduction of but a perpetual exchange or confrontation between the mechanics of discipline and the principle of right. The development of medicine, the general medicalization of behavior, modes of conduct, discourses, desires, and so on, is taking place on the front where the heterogeneous layers of discipline and sovereignty meet. That is why we now find ourselves in a situation where the only existing and apparently solid recourse we have against the usurpations of disciplinary mechanics and against the rise of a power that is bound up with scientific knowledge is precisely a recourse or a return to a right that is organized around sovereignty, or that is articulated on that old principle. Which means in concrete terms that when we want to make some objection against disciplines and all the knowledge-effects and power-effects that are bound up with them, what do we do in concrete terms? What do we do in real life? What do the Syndicat de la magistrature and other institutions like it do? What do we do? We obviously invoke right, the famous old formal, bourgeois right. And it is in reality the right of sovereignty. And I think

Nabokov 'What a gruesome place, kakoy zhutkiy dom," she said, sitting on the chair near the telephone and taking off her galoshes... such familiar movements! 'Look at that aquarelle with the minarets. They must be terrible people. 'No,' said Pnin, 'they are my friends.' 'My dear Timofey," she said, as he escorted her upstairs, 'you have had some pretty awful friends in your time." And here is my room,' said Pnin. 'I think I'll lie on your virgin bed, Timofey. And I'll recite you some verses in a minute. That hellish headache of mine is seeping back again. I felt so splendid all day.' 'I have some aspirin.' "Uhn-uhn," she said, and this acquired negative stood out strangely against her native speech. He turned away as she started to take off her shoes, and the sound they made toppling to the floor reminded him of very old days. She lay back, black-skirted, white-bloused, brown-haired, with one pink hand over her eyes. 'How is everything with you?' asked Pnin (have her say what she wants of me, quick!) as he sank into the white rocker near the radiator. 'Our work is very interesting, she said, still shielding her eyes, "but I must tell you I don't love Eric any more. Our rela-tions have disintegrated. Incidentally, Erič dislikes his child. He says he is the land father and you, Timofey, are the water father. Pnin started to laugh: he rolled with laughter, the rather juvenile rocker fairly cracking under him. His eyes were like stars and quite wet. She looked at him curiously for an instant from under her plump hand and went on:

the boat, which for so long had not moved, was gone. The scene reminded me of the story St Mark the evangelist tells, of the country of the Gadarenes, which follows the far better-known account of the calming of the storm on the Sea of Galilee. Neatly as the image of the doubting disciples waking their master from his untroubled sleep when the waves beat into the ship fitted the school catechism, there was little understanding of what the story of the mad Gadarene meant. I at least could not recall its ever being read to us in our so-called religious knowledge lessons or at church, much less explained. The raging maniac, of whom it is said that he came out of the tombs where he dwelt, was possessed of so violent an unclean spirit that he could not be bound 66

A man who was afflicted with a terrible disease complained to rabbi Israel that his suffering interfered with his learning and praying.

[As if music (and later, for me, as so to speak the last stop, language) were the earth on which one walks, but one always wants to run away from this ground one moves on, which naturally is not possible, because one would fall into the abyss. One walks therefore on something, on a ground one would like to flee, which is precisely impossible. But what one does while one is going toward that one place one so much seeks for and never finds (one stands on top of it!): one remains strange. Doesn't know why, though. For that there under the feet, one can't see it. It is hidden by oneself. Music makes one strange... when one produces it, music, one becomes oneself, even for oneself, at the same time something strange, not as strange as the composers were, and yet, since one is following their calls, and where they call one to, one should know, if one has properly practiced (o dear!), but when we get there, then this ground underneath us breaks away, we ourselves are completely gone away, and we know we are not cozily amongst ourselves, but that that which is beneath us, moves like time. No salvation] ("Die Zeit flieht: Für meinen Orgellehrer Leopold Marksteiner, n.p.. translation LP).
