Irrepressible Truth: On Lacan's 'The Freudian Thing' · Adrian Johnston · p.101

Theoretical move: Johnston argues that Lacan's reinterpretation of Freud's "Wo Es war, soll Ich werden" — against the ego-psychological mistranslation — is the pivot around which Lacan's critique of ego psychology, his return to Freud, and his theory of the subject as parlêtre (barred subject distinct from the ego) are simultaneously articulated, showing that the translation controversy has both clinical and metapsychological stakes.
