Freud brings to light in his study of “jokes” (les mots d’ esprit) and that of the repression analyzed in his “Studies on Hysteria.”

Moreover, the term intentionality used by Freud in 1895 must be understood in a nuanced way. As Jean Laplanche and Jean-Bertrand Pontalis emphasized in The Language of Psycho-Analysis (1967; trans. 1974), the splitting of consciousness is only “introduced” by an intentional act. As a “second consciousness,” repressed contents elude the subject’s control and are governed by the laws proper to the primary processes. The specific processes of the unconscious thus mark the operation of repression. The repressed representation in itself constitutes what Freud described in Studies on Hysteria as an initial “nucleus and centre of crystallization” (p. 123) that can attract other unbearable representations, without any conscious intention having to intervene. From the outset, then, repression is conceived as a dynamic process involving the maintenance of a counter-cathexis; it is always capable of being stymied by unconscious desire that seeks to return to conscious awareness, which is what is meant by “return of the repressed” (“Repression,” [1915d], p. 154.
