Syntheses in Threes and Twos

Connective Synthesis

process of production, Libido
"and then... and then... and then..." (producer-products)
Coupures-prelevements
use: partial and nonspecific::global and specific

Oedipalized Connective Synthesis

  • Global/Specific use has two aspects:
    • parental: the triangular form of Oedipus
    • conjugal: the reproduction of this form
  • Transcendent use of connective synthesis
  • Paralogism of Extrapolation (Introducing Lack)

Disjunctive Synthesis

method of inscription, Numen
"either ...or... or... or... or..." (unbounded)
Coupures-detachements(?)
use: affirmative, nonrestrictive, and inclusive::restrictive, exclusive, and negative

Oedipalized Disjunctive Synthesis

  • Restrictive use has two poles:
    • the exclusive symbolic differentiations
    • the undifferentiated imaginary
  • Transcendent use of disjunctive synthesis
  • Paralogism of the Double Bind

Conjunctive Synthesis

consumption-consummation, Voluptas
"so that's what it is!" (wandering subject)
moments: nomadic and polyvocal::segregative and biunivocal

Oedipalized Conjunctive Synthesis

  • Biunivocal use has two moments:
    • a racist, nationalistic, religious, etc moment that, via segregation, constitutes an aggregate of departure presupposed by Oedipus
    • a familial moment that constitutes the aggregate of destination by means of an Application
  • Paralogism of Application
