Irrepressible Truth: On Lacan's 'The Freudian Thing' · Adrian Johnston · p.132
**6** > <span id="page-128-0"></span>**7 Interlude**
Theoretical move: Lacan's critique of ego psychology, developed through the prosopopoeia of a talking lectern in "The Freudian Thing," demonstrates that ego psychology's own theoretical premises cannot distinguish the ego from an inanimate object, thereby refuting its claims to autonomous ego-subjectivity and exposing its capitulation to Anglo-American cultural and scientific norms as a betrayal of Freud.
the immediately following five paragraphs (the seventh through eleventh) involve him interrupting the ego-psychological appeal to functions/operations with another prosopopoeia, one featuring as its central protagonist a talking lectern.
