<br/><br/> Our aim here is to explore certain developments about the idea of “overdetermination,” whose usefulness, it seems to us, has been undervalued. We can see the emergence of a causal power with its own reasons (that is, a “subject”) as a necessary correlate. Moreover, we argue that Lacan, as he read Freud, did not content himself with translating him, but brought some original content to the Freudian text.
