Shame turns the speaking being like a glove, brings out from the bottom of his image his ontological and shameful lining, this nothing, nothing but th(a)t.*

La honte retourne l’être parlant comme un gant, fait ressortir du fond de son image sa doublure ontologique et honteuse, ce rien sinon ç(a).

*Sorry we didn’t find the way to translate the equivoqual of “ç(a)” in french. “ç(a)” mixes the lacanian concept of little a object, and the freudian “ça“, classicaly translated by id in english texts.
