Self and Emotional Life: Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, and Neuroscience · Adrian Johnston & Catherine Malabou · p.193
12. > F r o m P s y c h o a n a l y s i s to the Neurosciences
Theoretical move: The passage argues that a psychoanalytic (Freudian-Lacanian) metapsychology of affect supplements Damasio's neuroscientific account by locating the unconscious not as a hidden depth-node but as dissonant, defensive interventions *between* the levels of affective translation (emotion → feeling-had → feeling-known), and further that Damasio's model omits the Lacanian barred subject — the empty negativity of the Cogito — which is irreducible to either embodied core selfhood or autobiographical symbolic identity.
the psychoanalytic unconscious... exists, in part, as events of interventions intervening between different components and operations along the line running from one end of Damasio's affective spectrum to the other, from nonconscious emotions to conscious feelings.
