A Tensive Reading of Veridictory Modalities

Abstract

Negotiated between the poles of enunciation, veridiction is built on the judgment of what is true, false, secret or lying, confirming or denying appearances. The discussion of an update of this basic theoretical formulation is developed in this work with a rereading guided by the sensitive dimension of Claude Zilberberg and his understanding that no term is simple and that all terms have different degrees of complexity. When defining, recognizing and taking advantage of the subcontraries and overcontraries of appearing and being, this article argues that the sensitive dimension, the event, and the addition of more or less predicted in the tensive approach allow the analyst to problematize the impact that each tensive judgment produces for the subject. With the veridictory judgment, sometimes the subject comes to more or less overwhelming confirmations of his values and sometimes he is stunned in different ways by the surprises that arise from the breaking of a possible gradient of expectations, projected by the enunciator with greater or lesser effort.
