10. One of the merits of Elisabeth Roudinesco's work Un Discours un réel. Théorie de l'inconscient et politique de la psychanalyse (Tours 1973), is that she shows why the merits of the 'Freudo-Marxist' juxtaposition cannot be a solution.

It might be said that it is this lack of a link between ideology and the unconscious which today 'torments' psychoanalytic research, in diverse and often contradictory forms. There is no question of anticipating here what will result. Suffice it to say that the idealist reinscription of Lacan's work will have to be brought to book, and that this will above all be the business of those who are working today inside psychoanalysis.

16. Hence the well-known children's utterances of the type: 'I have three brothers, Paul, Michael and me'; or 'Daddy was born in Manchester, Mummy in Bristol and I in London: strange that the three of us should have met!'
17. Such examples might be multiplied indefinitely:
1. on the family-school relationship: the story of the lazy pupil who telephoned his headmaster to excuse himself from school, and when asked 'Who am I speaking to?' replied 'It's my father!';
2. on ideological repetition: 'There are no cannibals left in our area, we ate the last one last week';
3. on the cultural apparatus and the cult of Great Men: ' Shakespeare's works were not written by him but by an unknown contemporary of the same name';
4. on metaphysics and the religious apparatus: 'God is perfect in every way except one: he doesn't exist'; 'X didn't believe in ghosts, he wasn't even afraid of them', etc.
18. On this duplication and division in contradiction, and in the manner of a joke: 'What a shame they did not build the cities in the country -- the air is so much cleaner there!'
