1There is no question that the work was composed in the decades immediately preceding its appearance. It responds to literary works and refers to historical events that place it in the years following 1270. The 1280’s seem like the most likely decade for composition of the main body of the Zohar, probably preceded by the Midrash ha-Ne’elam and possibly certain other sections. Indeed it is quite possible that the Zohar was still an ongoing project when texts of it first appeared, and that parts of it were being written even a decade later. Because the question of the Zohar’s origins has been so hotly debated by readers and scholars over the centuries, it is important to offer a brief account here of the history of this discussion. Debate about the Zohar’s origins began in the decade of its first appearance. Fragments of the Zohar were first distributed by

2in 1956, Proposition of 1967 etc. ¶ None of this is to be accounted for by any kind of sociology. Everything that approaches the question of saying inevitably falls into the incest of saying and said. The danger is part of the structure. Is analytic experience condemned to stagnate? ¶ 3. It is a matter of developing ‘the mainspring of the psychoanalytic discourse’ (second condition of the psychoanalytic discourse) starting from the stagnation of analytic experience, from its failure, from its absence of resources (first condition of the psychoanalytic discourse). ‘It falls under my jurisdiction’, provided I can leave open the locus without resources of the undecidable. ¶ What are the next steps? ¶ 52 <0x0C>Draft 3 (April 2013) ¶ First stage (chapter 3): Develop the phallic logic

3perhaps need to be made a little clearer and more precise. ¶ M Vergotte ¶ I was wondering if there were not two sorts of anxiety: Mme Aulagnier spoke of castration-anxiety: the subject is afraid that it's going to be taken away from him and that he will be forgotten as a subject, here is the disappearance of the subject as such; but I was wondering if there were not an anxiety where the subject refuses to be subject, if for example in certain phantasies he wants on the contrary to hide the hole or the lack. In Mme Aulagnier's clinical example the subject refuses his body because the body reminds him of his desire and his lack; in the example of castration anxiety you said rather: the subject is afraid that he will be misrecognised as subject. An anxiety has therefore the two possible meanings: or he refuses to

4of it, this condition cannot simply be debited to the account of the solitary worker but is rather a symptom pointing to the vanishing of the experienceability of the world --assuming that, after all is said and done, one can still say 'world.' ¶ — "Preface" in Finitude's Score: Essays for the End of the Millennium, pg.ix ¶ Ronell traces the relegitimization of war, the philosophical status of the rumor, the questionable force of the police, the test sites of technology, the corporeal policies of disease and a thoroughgoing reconstitution of the subject of law. In sum, Finitude's Score reads the desire to finish once and for all, to be done with issues definitively, as the everlasting legacy of the Western logos. ¶ == Finitude's Score == ¶ == Queens of the Night == ¶ The first part of "Queens of the Night" originally appeared in ZYZZY

5quo bias has been attributed to a combination of loss aversion and the endowment effect, two ideas relevant to prospect theory. An individual weighs the potential losses of switching from the status quo more heavily than the potential gains; this is due to the prospect theory value function being steeper in the loss domain. As a result, the individual will prefer not to switch at all. However, the status quo bias is maintained even in the absence of gain/loss framing: for example, when subjects were asked to choose the colour of their new car, they tended towards one colour arbitrarily framed as the status quo. Loss aversion, therefore, cannot wholly explain the status quo bias, with other potential causes including regret avoidance, transaction costs and psychological commitment. ¶ == Rational Routes to Status Quo Maintenance == ¶ A status quo bias can also be a rational route if there are cognitive or informational limitations. ¶ Decision outcomes are rarely certain, nor is the utility they may bring. Because some errors

6back to Schreber. ¶ It seems to me that in the first chapter, Schreber makes a remark by appealing to the poet, but without developing it too much. ¶ And I was asking myself what he expected from the teaching, or the saying from the words of the poet. ¶ Ch. ¶ Melman - You are posing a question there at the limit of what can be posed. ¶ But nevertheless.... ¶ /. ¶ Pasmantier-Sebban - It is Schreber's. ¶ Ch. ¶ Melman - No, he does not pose that question. ¶ /. ¶ Pasmantier-Sebban - Ah yes, yes! ¶ He appeals to the poets. ¶ He did not pose it but he appeals to the poet. ¶ Ch. ¶ Melman - He makes an appeal, but why would he not make an appeal? ¶ I am sending the question back to you.

7). This phantastical structure only appears through the necessary link of the repetition of the (odd) demand to the double turn of desire. The o-object ought therefore „fall from the hole of the strip‟ (43e): the cross-cap is not transformed into a bilateral surface by a single-turn cut, which would make the Moebian part disappear definitively. The neurotic torus is first modified into a Moebius strip; the o-object, absent from the neurotic torus as well as from the strip, is introduced after the event into the Moebius strip in the form of the analyst (35b). One cannot therefore situate the o-object in the neurosis properly speaking by an „imaginary misuse‟ (43e): it is projected into the central hole of the torus (43-44) and this central hole only

86, I would ask those who are interested in the question which is thus posed to me to consult it; they will see there things which will prove to them that it is not just now that the interplay between these two registers was closely woven by me. ¶ In truth if this discourse was followed by a rather long silence, let us say that this should not astonish you too much. There was a road to travel afterwards to open a certain number of ears to this discourse, and you must not believe that at the time when - if that interests you, re-read these "Propos sur la causalité psychique" - that at the time when I made these remarks that it was easy to find ears to understand them. ¶ In truth, since it was at Bonneval that these Remarks were made and that a more recent meeting at Bonneval manifested to a certain number the distance that had been travelled since,

9signifier introduced into the discourse set up by it, the one that has a name: the subject supposed to know, a formation, for its part, not of artifice but of inspiration, as detached from the psychoanalysand. We have to see what qualifies the psychoanalyst to respond to this situation which we can see does not envelope his person. Not only is the subject supposed to know not real in effect, but it is in no way necessary that the subject in action in the conjuncture, the psychoanalysand (at first the only one to speak), should impose it on him. So little necessary is it that ordinarily it is not true: which is demonstrated in the first phases of the discourse, a way of assuring oneself ¶ 7 http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>CG Proposal 67 Draft 3

10and his name, to any signifier whatsoever. For he has rejected the being that did not know the cause of his phantasy at the very moment at which he has finally become this supposed knowledge. ‘Let him know from what I did not know about the being of desire, how things stand with him, having come to the being of knowledge, and let him efface himself.’ Sicut palea, as St. Thomas said of his work at the end of his life, like manure. In this way the being of desire rejoins the being of knowledge in (26) order to be reborn from it by their being knotted in a strip with a single edge on which a single lack is inscribed, the one that sustains the agalma. ¶ 13 http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>CG Proposal 67 Draft 3

11if a hostile outgroup threatens to kill the entire ingroup. ¶ Reciprocal altruism. See also Reciprocity (evolution). ¶ Direct reciprocity. Research shows that if can be beneficial to help others if there is a chance that they can and will reciprocate the help. The effective tit for tat strategy is one game theoretic example. Many people seem to be following a similar strategy by cooperating if and only if others cooperate in return. ¶ Direct reciprocity. Research shows that if can be beneficial to help others if there is a chance that they can and will reciprocate the help. The effective tit for tat strategy is one game theoretic example. Many people seem to be following a similar strategy by cooperating if and only if others cooperate in return. ¶ One consequence is that people are more cooperative if it is more likely that individuals will interact again in the future. People tend to be less cooperative if they perceive that the frequency of helpers in the population is

12the latter has become indifferent to us, that its effect within the structure should be neglected. Psychoanalysis derives its consistency from Freud’s texts – this is an irrefutable fact. We know what texts, from Shakespeare to Lewis Carroll, contribute to its genius and to its practitioners. Here is the field in which it can be discerned who to admit to its study. It is the one from which the sophist and the Talmudist, the seller of tales and the aede have drawn the power, that at every instant we are more or less awkwardly salvaging for our use. That a Levi-Strauss in his mythologics, gives it its scientific status, is something that facilitates us in making it a threshold for our selection. ¶ 9 http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>CG Proposal 67 Draft 3

13of the same „cross-section‟, and when by a supplementary turn it comes back to its starting point, it has, by having made a double loop distributed over two laminas, left to one side another double loop which constitutes a second edge. The strip obtained has therefore two edges, which is sufficient to assure it of a front and a back. Its relationship to the Moebius strip which it depicted before we made a cut in it, is…that the cut has produced it. Here is the conjuring trick: it is not by re-stitching the same cut that the Moebius strip will be reproduced because it was only the „feint‟ of a flattened torus, but it is by the sliding of two laminas over ¶ 1 <0x0C>CG L‟étourdit II (S25-52) May 2010

14eminent supporters, Oppenheimer for example, are terrified by it. This is where we give up on what makes us responsible, namely: the position in which I have fixed psychoanalysis in relation to science, that of extracting the truth that responds to it in terms whose quiet voice is allocated to us. Under what pretext do we shelter this refusal, when it is well known (24) what insouciance protects both truth and subjects, and that promising the first to the second, is neither here nor there except for those who are already close to it. To speak of subjective destitution will never stop the innocent, whose only law is his desire. We have no choice between confronting the truth or ridiculing our knowledge. ¶ 11 http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>CG Proposal 67 Draft 3

15<bos>Theaetetus: I do not understand why we need an agreement about discourse at the present moment. Stranger: I may be able to suggest a line of thought that will help you to understand. Theaetetus: What is that ? Stranger: We say that non-being is a single kind among the rest, dispersed over the whole field of realities. Theaetetus: Yes Stranger: We have next to consider whether it blends with thinking and discourse. Theaetetus: Why that? Stranger: If it does not blend with them, everything must be true but if it does, we shall have false thinking, and discourse for thinking or saying what is not comes, I (31) suppose, to the same thing as falsity in thought and speech Theaetetus: Yes Stranger: And, if falsity exists, deception is possible.

We are having meetings with her anyway with the intent of collaboration, but I suppose you'd qualify as an objective examiner still. We'd hope to do this end of March/beginning of April. ¶ Best wishes, ¶ Iman
