Theoretical move: Johnston argues that the Lacanian-Copjecian claim that affects are never repressed (only displaced) rests on a conflation of two distinct French terms—*honte* (shame as felt feeling, *Empfindung*) and *pudeur* (shame as affective structure/formation, *Affektbildung*)—and that properly distinguishing them undermines the standard Lacanian position and opens space for the existence of unconscious affects.
pudeur designates a potential to feel qua Affektbildung (rather than a feeling felt in actuality)... pudeur, as an Affektbildung, involves chains of ideational representations that can be either conscious or unconscious
