"deluded characters (represented as the German sickness [...] science [...] 
set name apart from named and not the other way round."

Wellness would therefore put named "apart" from name?  this "apart" is 
unclear to me.  Do you mean "over?"  Logocentrism: Good or Bad?  Discuss....

The name is the node for the numinous to emerge from the depths of the 
sub-sub-submarine-thoughts.  For Lacan the sign (LOGOS) is a combination of 
concept (signified) and acoustic image (signifier).  The SIGNIFIED is a vast 
sea filled with rocks and whirlpools and monsters.  We mortals spear through 
the depths fishing for the right sound-image.  Did someone here wonder about 
text versus dancing and singing or painting?  Sound-Image says it all.

a Language._  Joel Dor;  Judith Gurewich, Editor;  Susan Fairfield, 
translator.
