In his commentary on Poe's 'The purloined letter' he tries to show that the sequence of signifiers is not arbitrary but governed by an internal logic. In 'Subversion du sujet et dialectique du désir' he tries to show how this chain of signifiers is constituted in a double movement : on the one hand there is the linear succession of signifiers, on the other hand there is an anticipatory movement. We would like to combine these two lines of thought and illustrate this double determination with Freud's case study of the Ratman.

It is found that it is a divided Subject, one that undergoes the process of repression, and is therefore capable of a certain kind of error. This arises out of two factors. First, the Subject of anticipation is an embodied Subject deriving the force of its will from Triebe. Second, the anticipating Subject arises out of speech acts. It is demonstrated that the biological development of the embodied Subject (maturation) and the inherent ambiguity of language combine to produce repression, and this necessarily, thereby leaving the Subject vulnerable to this specific kind of error : neurotic formations, Ate.
