That the real itself has complied with the signifier's appeal. ) are read as prophetic signs. "THE KING Is A THING" The crucial point here is that the real that serves as support of our symbolic reality must appear to be found and not produced. To clarify thiS, let us turn to another Ruth Rendell novel, The Tree of Hands. The French habit of changing the titles of translated novels produces as a rule disastrous results; in this case, however, the rule has fortunately found its exception. Un enfantpour ['autre (One Child for Another) accurately designates the peculiarity of this macabre story of a young mother whose little son dies suddenly of a mortal disease.
The real is at the same time contained in the very symbolic form; the real is immediately rendered by this form. To clarify this crucial point, let us recall a feature of Lacan's seminar Encore that must appear somewhat strange from the point of view of the "standard" Lacanian theory. , as preserving the continuity with the real. IS What is meant by this move-if, of course, we dismiss the possibility of a simple theoretical "regression"? , in which every element "is" only its difference from the others, without any support in the real.
Why must the symbolic mechanism be hooked onto a "thing," some piece of the real? The Lacanian answer is, of course: because the symbolic field is in itself always already barred, crippled, porous, structured around some extimate kernel, some impossi bility. The function of the "little piece of the real" is precisely to fill out the place of this void that gapes in the very heart of the symbolic. The psychotic dimension of this "answer of the real" can be clearly grasped via its opposition to another kind of "answer of the real": the coincidence that takes us by surprise and produces a vertiginous shock.
