Are you situating the 'psychical as non-discursive' in the realm of 
psychoanalysis? For Lacan and those who follow his school of thought, the 
"non-discursive" is the "substance" (for eg, enjoyment, jouissance) that 
is necessary to compel an attraction to, say the  National Cause. Zizek, 
in response to a question I had posed to him at a recent conference, 
infact invoked "enjoyment as substance" as an ethical category. What say you?
