Resumen
Using the example of Freuds famous case of the „Wolfman“ this paper explicates the conflation between Lacans theory of the signifier and Merleau-Pontys notion of “rays of the world”, as found in a study of Marc Richir. In this analysis, Richir criticizes the pure symbolic interpretation subsequent to the psychoanalytic unconscious. Contrary to this, he shows, through Merleau-Pontys ideas regarding Freuds case, a curious occurrence of phenomena beyond the symbolical grasp. This “play” of Wesen that over-determine one another is, for Richir, gateway to a “new style of eidetics” realized in his notion of wild Wesen which in terms of experience are essential for what he calls the “phenomenological unconscious”. Both registers of the unconscious, however, interact with one another as Merleau-Ponty points out. In Lacan we find the concept of signifiance” as a different kind of a “slope of meaning”, which enables us to think of the “effects” of the unconscious not only as separated through a hiatus but as a tense diacritical field as pictured already by Merleau-Ponty – a methodological approach which László Tengelyi elaborated into a diacritical phenomenology
