The Unconscious Is Social

The unconscious is subject, in its rety, to the distortion of the death of a symbolic process into an economic process. We trade with our dead a kind of melancholy, while the primitives live with their dead under the auspices of their ritual and the feast. This entails a considerable difference in enjoyment. The matrix tries to show how the real and the imaginary are actually the the means through which one puts an end to the symbolic or renders the bolic coherent.
