In the erotics of time, it is not about acceleration or perfect synchrony, but the necessary time for a word to produce its consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The School was born from a call to resolute workers: an ethical resolution to sustain the formation and to ensure the reconquest of the Freudian field. That orientation finds in work transference the cause of a one-to-one transmission, which we seek to verify at the very heart of every end of analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the pass introduces a displacement. The end of analysis does not consolidate a collective identification; it produces what Lacan calls the scattered, ill-assorted individuals. The fall of identifications does not extinguish the work; it modifies its cause. The transference is no longer only sustained by the love of knowledge, but rather by the singular real that each pass teaching introduces into the School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The<em>scattered, ill-assorted individuals<\/em>, alone with regard to any totality, yet resolute in revitalizing the work of the School, do not succeed the resolute workers, but reveal what this resolution implies from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, rather than inheriting a past, they are building [a(r)man] the present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">* Translated from Spanish by Renata Teixeira<br>* Proofread by Philip Dravers<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><sup>1<\/sup> Lacan, Jacques. \u201cThe Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis.\u201d \u00c9crits: The First Complete Edition in English.
