I'm keeping this sweet and simple, as I had explained it to a five year old.

There is a story that is a dream. The dream is a fantasy, a love story woven in the unconscious.
This is a place in the mind where all the intimate experiences accumulate and re-cumulate.

To disect the fantasy is to uncover the tectonic of the unconscious. Undoubtedly it is the structure of language which allows us this power; as is it the means by which we structure our thoughts.One may choose any of number a given languages in order to share one's ideas. As architects our language is space.

What cannot be said must drawn, and what cannot be drawn must be written.

My project is the intersection of five 'fields' of ideas. Jakobson gives the structure for speech and
language which Lacan uses to expound the theories of Freud, intersecting liguistics and two
generations of phsycoanalysis.

To these fields I add mine: the structure of the romance narrative genre in terms of Lacan's conceptions of fantasy its production through language, and a study a specific instance of this which I find in 'Gone with the Wind'

There are five parts of the story, episodes perhaps, each with a significance in their own right
as a miniture production, embodying the elliptical nature of desire as described by Lacan,
but also relating to each other by means of this same structure, as a chain of castrations
and resolutions.

There are three sites defined by the episodes. The first and the last take place in the home outside the city, and the fourth and fifth in the urban context, the third episode: the invasion or rape takes place somehow between these two; a march.

My first task is draw up the matrix of these geneaological intersections, and the matrix of the episodes and the details of their program and site, using the structure of Lacan as a performative technique this matrix will become five drawings. One drawing for each episode.

The matrices will also be a outline for the thesis book, in terms of the section titles intersecting with the five episodes producing twenty five square. Genealogies might repeat for example.

I hope to have the major work on the book done by the class on sunday.
