not glissant

" The Lacanian stain, for instance, is not about the inner limits of the visual field but exposes the desire-to-see to the limits of the non-representable in the heart of the Other. The subject of the encounter with this object that strictly lack existence doesn’t corresponds to the Other as the One, but to its function as a place holder for the lack of consistency in existence."
