social machines. Only then can a theory of universals, both in linguistics
and economics, in anthropology and psychoanalysis, be an
obstacle to any real exploration of the unconscious, i.e., all kinds of
semiotic constellations, connections of flows, power relations and
constraints that constitute the arrangements of desire.
Structuralist psychoanalysis doesn't have much more to teach us
about the unconscious mechanisms mobilized by film at the level of
its syntagmatic organization any more than orthodox psychoanalysis
has at the level of its semantic contents. On the contrary, film could
perhaps help us to better understand the pragmatic of unconscious
investments in the social field. In fact, the unconscious does not
manifest itself in cinema in the same way it does on the couch: it partially
escapes the dictatorship of the signifier, it is not reducible to a
fact of language, it no longer respects, as the psychoanalytical transfer
continued to do, the classic locutor-auditor dichotomy of meaningful
communication. A question arises as to whether it is simply
bracketed or whether there is any opportunity for reexamining the
entirety of relations between discourse and communication.
Communication between a discernible locutor and auditor is perhaps
only a particular case, an extreme case, of the discursive exercise. The
effects of desubjectivation and deindividuation produced by the
enonce in cinema or in such arrangements as drugs, dreaming,
passion, creation, delirium, etc., are perhaps not as exceptional as
one would think in relation to the general case that "normal" intersubjective
communication and "rational" consciousness of the
subject object relationship is supposed to be. It's the idea of a transcendent
subject of enunciation that is being questioned here, as well
as the opposition between discourse and language (langue) or, even
more, the dependence of diverse types of semiotic performance in
relation to a so-called universal semiological competence. The selfconscious
subject should be considered a particular "option," a sort
