The voice in “porte (a) faux”

an out-of-tune note of the look

Abstract

The voice of the neurotic walks in porte-à-faux on the tightrope of the symptom. The psychotic, on the other hand, will bond the call of the Other, and these hallucinated voices will be made his/her own. Between the neurotic and his object a, the impression of the fantasy. Between the psychotic and his/her object a, an impress-sound that, through hallucination, engulfs the object a in his pocket. For the neurotic, as for the psychotic, the relationship to the object makes them move forward, like a tightrope walker in porte-à-faux, that we will henceforth write as porte(a)faux.

By letting ourselves be taught by Marguerite, a shoddy Diva singing masterfully out of tune, we will question this point of support that she seeks in the gaze of the other, to finally straighten her voice on the path to tuning, reminding us of what Lacan says his seminary The sympthom: “How can art, or craftsmanship, undo what is imposed by the symptom? Namely: the truth”.
