Theoretical move: The passage argues that both Freud and Lacan are genuinely inconsistent in their theorizations of affect, and traces Lacan's shifting positions from an initial dialectical entanglement of the affective and intellectual toward an increasingly unidirectional priority of signifier-ideas over affects—a move Johnston critiques as a motivated misreading that subordinates affect to the ideational order of the unconscious.
