It was an exotic experience, especially the climactic revelation of the object petit a as a three-faced entity—simultaneously? referencing the opening, the rattle, and the void between them.👌👏

I’m not yet sure how these conceptual frameworks might apply to psychoanalytic practice, but the sheer act of contemplating them is exhilarating🤩

Lacan wasn't entirely sure of their clinical implications at the time either. But he'd figured it out by S17, and then spent years articulating it: analyst as abject piece of shit, crystalized in that little pile (petit tas) in the upper lefthand corner of the analytic discourse. And from there, he's off to the races! Just keep watching; we cover it all in our series on S17 and beyond.
