No. 5 (2002): The Real in the clinic

In this 5th volume of the journal *Stylus*, themed "The Real of the Clinic," the publication tracks the ongoing process of building the School of Psychoanalysis of the Lacanian Field. It marks the transition from a "time for understanding" to a "time for building the School"—centered on the *real* that governs both the practice and the existence of the subject. Reaffirming the principle that the foundation of psychoanalysis *in extension* is anchored in the experience *in intension*, this edition highlights Lacan’s clinical dimension—grounded in the presentation of patients and the treatment of psychosis—and asserts the analytic discourse as a new form of social bond, one that stands against the domination and subjugation of the other.

Focusing on the ethical element formulated in relation to "subjective destitution," the editorial underscores that moving beyond deathly repetition requires the analyst to remain, at all times, in the position of an *analysand*, revitalizing theory in the face of the "impossible" at play. The journal thus establishes itself as a collective space for work and dialogue—a community of "readers-authors" (*lautores*) and deciphers—who, starting from the "letter" that remains after the analytic operation, bring writing into debate to advance the transmission and praxis of psychoanalysis, in direct confrontation with the *real*.
