27 The question of the hand: as the so-called detainer of the Freudian message. Bonaparte was destined for assault. Insistently, repetitively, automatically. The footnote attacking the cook, which confined itself to a discreet disdain for cooking, was added to the Ecrits almost ten years after the first publication of the Seminar in La Psychanalyse . But actually from the time of Rome, in the discourse of the same name, five years before, the major accusation against Bonaparte already had been launched: secondhand! Her texts do not at first hand hold the letter of Freud. A given author is "hardly aware" of Freudian theory, "since he tackles the theory through the work of Marie Bonaparte, which he repeatedly cites as an equivalent of the text of Freud--without the reader being in any way advised of the fact--relying no doubt on the good taste of the reader, not without reason, not to confuse the two, but proving no less that he has not the remotest understanding of the true level of the secondary text (seconde main )" Ecrits (E), p. 39. And since one must simultaneously keep the first hand for oneself and not generalize too much about the second, there are therefore two "levels," a good and a bad second hand. The "good" one, as we will see, takes the letter of the Freudian text as a "text which is the vehicle of speech, in that it constitutes a new emergence of the truth," knows how "to treat it as a true speech," "to experience it in its authenticity" as "full speech," Ecrits (F), p. 381; it is a question of Freud's text. And the zealous setting aside of Bonaparte's "second hand" can be read several lines before the chapter to the glory of "full speech."
