“ontologizes into a universal frame the differential structure caught in a self-referential movement circulating around its constitutive impossibility, and the real appears within this frame as the “impossible” of this structure and, as such, as an ahistorical limit—as the elusive excess that defines the structure itself. However, this ontologization of the logic of the signifier is based on ignoring the fact that it is rooted in the artificially produced analytic situation, produced by the “enclosure of the clinical space” (analyst-analysand): the real is the “impossible” excluded from and by this situation, and as such a historical variable which can be analyzed as part of another wider reality.”
