The ‘Seminar on “The Purloined Letter”’ appeared at the beginning of the Écrits; Lacan thought the seminar adumbrated important and lasting insights, e.g. repetition compulsion as determined by the Symbolic Order and the letter as “pure signifier,” the referent of which depends upon the subject’s place in a chain of signifiers. Using Edgar Alan Poe’s "The Purloined Letter", Lacan shows Poe’s use of a subjective logic to drive its narrative. It is not a typical detective story. Its style and interesting narrative echo psychoanalytic ideas on repetition, the act of enunciation, and powers of the letter as pure signifier. The chapter explicates Lacan’s views on the logic of speech, which contains a writing that can be deciphered within speaking and shows the stakes of the intersubjective circuit. This writing, found in the deductive method of Poe’s Detective Dupin, leads to cybernetics and probability theory. Using formulations from these fields, Lacan shows the autonomous functioning of the Symbolic. The final section is devoted to this explication and intimates the importance of topology and mathemes in the ‘later’ Lacan. In Poe’s tale, Dupin’s facsimile of purloined letter reveals a compact of jouissance, returning the text to repetition and the death drive.
