La lettre dâ(a)mur : LâEmpire des sens de Nagisa Oshima
Daisuke Fukuda
La voix ou les phonations sont coupĂ©es, comme sâil y avait un mur dans sa bouche. Afin de mesurer lâimportance de cet Ă©vĂ©nement de corps de lâhĂ©roĂŻne, il est Ă remarquer que conformĂ©ment au choix dâOshima, les geishas sont toujours prĂ©sentes pendant lâaccouplement [âŠ]. Elles jouent le rĂŽle de lâobjet a faisant consister le couple et leur copulation.

Alcibiades on the Couch
Yannis Grammatopoulos
Â
If, however, Socrates introduces lack into the field of love and desire within discourse, Alcibiadesâ entrance portrays a subjective suffering from this lack as an inaccessibility to the object. As Patricia Bosquin-Caroz notes, âit is exactly from the non-conjunction of desire with its object that the signification of love emerges at the end of [âŠ] the metaphor of love.â

Painful Loves – Natalie WĂŒlfing
âGirls often say openly that their love loses value for them if other people know of it. [âŠ] The woman only recovers her susceptibility to tender feelings in an illicit relationship which has to be kept secret, and in which alone she knows for certain that her own will is uninfluenced.â

The hushed exchange of secret knowledge between women is a recognisable gesture. It is clear, the image conveys it, that this is a form of enjoyment. Love and secrets are two fundamental preoccupations for women, that are, as Freud says, entwined. Lacan posited a jouissance of which a woman cannot speak. It is less that she does not know, it is more that this jouissance points to the infinite of A barred, God. (1) She loves and enjoys beyond the sayable. As Jacques-Alain Miller puts it, âThis structural secret of speech, in so far as there is something which cannot be said, is a secret on the side of women. For them, the secret can be a condition of jouissance and they can come to enjoy secrecy as such, to constitute the lie itself as object a.â (2) The lie would thus be the licit phallic semblant.
