If the psychoanalytic cure is confined to an exchange of words and is only conceived of individually, and in a setting where direct eye-to-eye contact is avoided to eliminate hysterogenic effects (as possible derailments), on the other hand group analyses (whatever their forms) introducing plurality and the face-to-face setting, reintroduce the space of looking, of bodies, and of group choreographies.Being attentive to what is represented, enacted, and theatralised in these group dynamics comes down to giving meaning to what can be seen or asks to be looked at in these pantomimes or representations which accompany, precede, or follow the clinical encounter. Reintroducing what has been lost sight of (perdu de vue) in the analytic perspective inscribes this attention and this observation within a new epistemology which, while preserving the epistemic unity of the Unconscious, gives all its meaning to the phenomenology of an ectopic unconscious and to the group delocalisations of its manifestations.
