Abstract

One of the aims of this work is to examine the current status of a political event and its treatment based on the work of guilt, which I call a “Heideggerian moment”, and on the search for a universal solution as an exit from guilt, and as practiced by the media and political agents today. In contrast, and detached from it, I propose to bring to light the experience of psychoanalysis as pointing in the direction of a discourse that aims at singularity as a means of deterring and delaying the effects of seduction on the subject to act against the neighbour to its own detriment. The “Lacanian moment” would consist in breaking down the time of prejudice and of hatred by allowing the speaking being to be duped by the unconscious one by one. We start with innocence of the subject at the moment when we bring the causality to work.
