Paper produced by Vappereau in Balvanera, 29 May 2004. This work is the final installment in a larger body called “L’involution signifiante,” and deals with the signifying involution, the nom-du-père, and the formulas of sexuation of Lacan using constructive mathematics and the Borromean knot.

The semantic field of jouissance in Lacanian discourse
Jouissance is a term marked by its polysemy in its uses in French. Here I will detail in an incomplete way, partial and partial semantic fields in which Lacan uses this term.
I will note two points in the preamble.
First of all the use made of it in law. The enjoyment of property makes no assumption on the pleasure that the usufructuary may make.
Then the curiosity that I remarked, that this word is lacking in the English tongue so that English speaking psychoanalysts use the French word to talk about it.
In the section 2 We find the modalities of jouissance I've spotted, in the section 3, referrals from the texts written by Lacan, and in the section 4, referrals from a few seminars. Jacques B.Siboni

[Added: 2025/08/27]Vappereau, J. M., Sottiaux, N., Saint-Arnaud, G. R., & Bertheux, M. — Lu: le pliage du schéma du Freud
Collaborative work released in 1998 by Topologie en extension. From the back cover: “Cet ouvrage réunissant des articles écrits après la publication du livre Etoffe commente ce fascicule de résultats. Il s’attache en particulier à développer une lecture qui montre l’efficacité de la structure d’involution signifiante présentée en termes de pliage du schéma de Freud (lettre n° 52 à Fliess), tel qu’il devient le schéma L de Lacan en passant par le schéma R. Cette présentation de la structure faisait l’objet de l’introduction d’Etoffe. Il ouvre une nouvelle série, distincte de celle de nos fascicules de résultats et avec laquelle nous proposons de commenter chacun de ces livres par un éclairage de lecture clinique. IL répond aussi à une autre question. Comment une ascèse de la parole qui consiste à dire des bêtises, bricoler du signifiant, gribouiller des petites lettres peut-elle produire le seul enseignement politique et par conséquent éthique qui vaille pour notre époque ? Cette question revient à se demander comment la psychanalyse est-elle tenable ?”

By replacing one spatial dimension by a temporal dimension, new methods of generation of the projective plan come to the day. Jacques B.Siboni
Projective plane and Lacanian subject — some examples
The projective plane is a non-orientable surface which is not representable (can be merged) in our usual three-dimensional space. After returning to a few definitions and properties of the projective plane, I will give some examples of the uses that Jacques Lacan of this topological object. These include representations involving the subject of the unconscious. However what is presented is not a formal mathematical work and includes trivialisations which can go against mathematicians.

Jean-Michel Vappereau — L’amour du tout aujourd’hui (le mode majeur de l’écriture de la vérité) – 1ère partie
Second argument in the “Trois essais sur la théorie de la vérité” series. This document is the first installment of the second argument, entitled “L’amour du tout aujourd’hui ( le mode majeur de l’écriture de la vérité),” and introduces the argument between defining the subject of the unconscious qua Freud and Lacan, and also of discourse, which can be articulated relative to mathematics.
