This means that, unlike the human sciences, which, even while turning back towards the unconscious, always remain within the space of the representable, psychoanalysis advances and leaps over representation, overﬂows it on the side of finitude, and thus reveals, where one had expected functions bearing their norms, conﬂicts burdened with rules, and significations forming a system, the simple fact that it is possible for there to be system (therefore signification), rule (therefore conﬂict), norm (therefore function).
