Irrepressible Truth: On Lacan's 'The Freudian Thing' · Adrian Johnston · p.252
**13** > <span id="page-248-0"></span>**Conclusion Taking It to the Dogs: Actaeon's Revenge**
Theoretical move: The passage traces the continuity and evolution of Lacan's "return to Freud" from "The Freudian Thing" (1955) through the early 1970s seminars, arguing that while Lacan jettisons his mid-1950s Heideggerianism (recasting ontology as "hontology"), he remains faithful to Freudian truth-as-unconscious, now reframed through the mythological figures of Diana and Actaeon as condensations of das Ding, the sexual non-rapport, jouissance, and the half-said.
Lacan's reference to "The Freudian Ting" in the March 8, 1972 session of Seminar XIX involves problematizing ontology as "hontology," as a "shame" (honte).
