Irrepressible Truth: On Lacan's 'The Freudian Thing' · Adrian Johnston · p.176
**10** > <span id="page-170-0"></span>**Analytic Action**
Theoretical move: The L Schema is deployed to argue that genuine analytic action operates along the Symbolic axis (between speaking subjectivities) rather than the Imaginary axis (between egos), and that the analyst's ethical responsibility is to keep this distinction operative — thereby reframing non-Lacanian notions like "timing, tact, and dosage" within a register-theoretic framework where the unconscious speaks between analyst and analysand as a "pact" grounded in the big Other.
Speech constitutes a pact, whether it is made explicit or not, between the two subjects (parole…constitue entre les deux sujets un pacte, avoué ou non)
