Presentation on Psychical Causality > **/ .** *Empty Speech and Full Speech in the Psychoanalytic Realisation of the Subject*
Theoretical move: Lacan argues that the unconscious is constituted by historicization and intersubjective discourse rather than by instinctual stages or biological analogy, and that psychoanalytic technique must be grounded in the subject's symbolic-historical reality rather than in biological mythology or dyadic object-relation thinking.
Events are engendered in a primal historicization—in other words, history is already being made on the stage where it will be played out once it has been written down, both in one's heart of hearts and outside.
