Without unconscious.

The above photo is drawn from the exhibition ‘Vivian Maier – Street photographer’ July 10 – October 18, 2015 at the ‘Museo D’Arte MAN’ in Nuoro (Italy).

Can one’s own thinking get a move on without unconscious ?

Given that the unconscious was originally identified and named by Freud as the mnemic residue[1] rejected by one’s conscience into our non-verbal memory, but clearly present as not replicating,  indeed incessantly sanctioning conscience. Why then ?

Perhaps for the reason that, of the sanctioning demand which our unconscious is towards reality, one of the terms of this relationship remains the Subject as thinking of, without any stop, one’s own liking - or disliking - towards reality.

We therefore – from our own birth – of the unconscious continually learn the sanctioning capacity that forms with reality we can perceive, not before.

The traditional categories, that they would like to be innate but are already social and so historical, can train the conscience but be cleverly dribbled by our unconscious, which hardly submits to neuroses also if can be silenced : at least for a while.
