Against Understanding, Volume 2: Cases and Commentary in a Lacanian Key · Bruce Fink · p.139
<span id="page-36-0"></span>[WHAT'S SO DIFFERENT ABOUT](#page-7-0) LACAN'S APPROACH TO PSYCHOANALYSIS? > **Perversion and the Other** > *Schemas of Perversion*
Theoretical move: Fink argues that the Sadean schema from "Kant with Sade" is best understood as a specific trajectory within the Graph of Desire—analogous to Hamlet's parcours in Seminar VI—and that its four-vertex, unilaterally oriented structure distinguishes it from both the L Schema and the Four Discourses while bearing family resemblances to both, suggesting that rotating the schema generates four distinct clinical structures (including sadism and masochism).
the Sadean schema designates a specific trajectory within the Graph of Desire: one single and unique trajectory … the point is that Lacan traces out there what he calls a parcours: a path that is scrupulously followed.
