Abstract:The disharmony produced by language is often manifested by the violence of the superego. The fury of blows reveals the insistence of this tormenting voice, which arouses a revolt in order to silence it. However, the superego is also a goad pushing the character to action. Finally, the work’s evolution leads from the confrontation with imaginary doubles, through ceaseless metonymy, toward a halt which reveals a resistance regarding the imperative to say.
