From an analysis, what can be transmitted if not the writing? The writing that emerged and developed throughout the journey, though not always easy to identify, and the writing currently in progress. Not forgetting the mark of the text present even before the crossing began; a plural writing, multiple writings. Each gave form to matter, not always with a true author, but all grounded in truths. That they left their traces is evident in reading the journey; it is no longer possible to believe one had anything to do with it, except for one’s desire finally encountered.

From an analyst’s analysis, what remains? From an analysis that will have revealed an analyst’s desire (distinct from the desire of the analyst), then a passage to the analytical act, what remains that informs us about the transmission of psychoanalysis, about the making of this analyst’s desire, about the choice of the analyst rather than that of another freedom?

Such is this project: to propose a theorization without reference (but not without reference to the knowledge of psychoanalytic experience), to move beyond commentary applied to psychoanalysis from books, without formal academicism, to change the fiction. To propose a reading that each person will produce by taking with them the words of this text toward other horizons. To read, therefore to write psychoanalysis again as it appears, in the path of theoretical renewal, at the threshold of an original theorization, a reinvention without confirmation, incontestable and unprovable. To read in order to write, with these writings to which reading and listening to speech have opened the way.
