> For example, maybe the act of systematizing the psyche in of itself is some part of the psyche in action, (maybe a "higher" part that is pondering about its "lower" components), a contradictory or paradoxical activity in of itself?

René Guénon, among other traditionalist authors, pointed out the errors and folly of psychoanalytical terminology and theory itself.

Guénon especially disliked the word "unconscious", which forms one of the basis of Freud´s theory and (unconscious) desires and fears.

-Reign of Quantity by René Guénon

Psychoanalytic school does not believe in supercosnsciousness.

That is, something, which transcends both conscious and subconscious states.

Psychoanalyst school is essentially a perversion and inversion. They tend to put the unconscious or subconscious state as the essence, or foundation, it is a denial of Spirit [spiritus] to replace it with Psyche [psychē]

Even the very term: "unconscious" should be paradoxical enough when contrasted to that of superconscious, meaning that which transcends both subconscious and normal conscious.

Social, spiritual and moral stuff:

René Guénon - The Crisis of the Modern World
René Guénon - The Reign of Quantity and Signs of the Times
Julius Evola - Revolt Against the Modern World
Julius Evola - Men Among the Ruins
Charles Upton - The System of Antichrist: Truth & Falsehood in Postmodernism & the New Age

Economical, societal:
T. R. Fehrenbach - Gnomes of Zurich: Inside Story of the Swiss Banks
Dr. David Duke - The Illustrated Protocols Of Zion (Read in conjunction with Evola´s article "The Secret Causes of History & The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion from [MATR] )
G. Edward Griffin - The Creature from Jekyll Island : A Second Look at the Federal Reserve
(Read above books with Guénon´s chapter "Degeneration of Coinage" from [RoQaTSotT].

These come to my mind which could explain the current "situation" geopolitically and culturally .

I highly recommend all of these books and despite "Protocols" being anti-semitic work, Duke´s foreword and Evola´s article should inform the reader that the book is of high interest despite it does not portray any real meetings of some supposed "Elders of Zion"

If I understand your question, by transgression you mean in this case:
>Transgression is anything that involves the contravention of explicit or implicit rules, both in the course of the treatment and in conflictual unconscious functioning, not to mention within the psychoanalytic process itself.
and by lack:
>In Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic philosophy, lack (French: manque) is a concept that is always related to desire. In his seminar Le transfert (1960–61) he states that lack is what causes desire to arise.

Guénon was not a fan of psychoanalysis or psychoanalytical concepts and he especially disliked the word "unconscious", which forms one of the basis of Freud´s theory and (unconscious) desires and fears.

In "Reign of Quantity", Guénon argues:
>There are also some who adopt the term 'unconscious' as a synonym or equivalent of 'subconscious', and this term, taken literally, would seem to refer to an even lower level, but as a matter of fact it only corresponds less closely to reality; if the object of study were really unconscious it is difficult to see how it could be spoken of at all, especially in psychological terms; and besides, what good reason is there, other than mere materialistic and mechanistic prejudice, for assuming that anything unconscious really exists?

Correspondingly, since the domain of psychology is not extended upward, the 'superconscious' naturally remains as strange to it and as cut off from it as ever.

I do not think Guénon would even respond to Lacan or Bataille, because Guénon was more interested what is commonly understood as superconscious, rather than the base desires that can be only described as being part of the subconscious, area which psychoanalysis is solely interested in.

My opinion:

>The Reign of Quantity and the Signs of the Times by René Guénon

Prophetic work which was released in 1939. More relevant than ever. Guénon for example among other things, talks about how money will become obsolete, or rather, "degeneration of coinage" will reach a degree that money will not "exist" expect as Quantity. Today it is more so than ever, money being mostly ones and zeros in electrical transactions and interests.
