This article aims to demonstrate that Jacques Lacan's assertion that modern science was the condition of possibility of the emergence of psychoanalysis derives a set of propositions: to modern science; psychoanalysis could only arise in the modernity of thought; and between psychoanalysis and science there is a logic of compatibility. To do so, from an epistemological point of view, the article aims to define the status of a world affected by modern scientific activity as opposed to the ancient world. This led research to the axiomatic, in a broader scope, from Descartes' works and mathematical physics, which proposes a caesura that affects all existing discourses. With the mathematization of thought, the qualities of the existent were abolished, thereby providing the propitious ground for the emergence of the subject of the unconscious, which Lacan will allocate between signifiers, promoting an essentially modern theory of the subject.

This paper contains theories regarding the relationship between the loss of the object of full satisfaction and the possible experiences of jouissance. In order to undertake this discussion, central concepts will be used such as those from das Ding in Freud, and the object "a" in Lacan, based on the concepts of anguish, joy and eroticism, the latter being a concept found in Georges Bataille's works. It will also recover the notion of sublimation, the path to satisfaction by which the subject borders the emptiness left by the loss of the object, making a social bond. The symbolic register is thus responsible for making this bond, because by using words the subject could possibly make an encounter over the abyss created by sexual detachment. Language would therefore have the function of filling the emptiness left by the loss of the object, a soothing promise, but impossible to be fulfilled, since nothing is said about this emptiness.

O texto procura analisar a relação do homem com a escrita. Nesse trajeto escolhemos Lacan como interlocutor. Suas investigações sobre o traço reforçam a nossa idéia. Esta toma a escrita como um dos possíveis constituintes do homem. Se a leitura e análise de Lacan não nos parecem fáceis, elas são, no entanto, instigantes e abrem um viés importante nas discussões sobre o papel da escrita. Ele transcende as abordagens meramente instrumentais, que a vêem como uma forma de comunicar-se ou de inserir-se no mercado de trabalho, e a relaciona ao desejo e ao gozo

In this article, we will aim to highlight the specificity and limits of a transcultural consultation in the Psychiatry Service of the Avicenne Hospital (France) with asylum seekers from Africa and South Asia affected by traumatic experiences that resulted in psychological disturbances. We will try to show that a clinical approach that takes into account the social and political context and the legal status of these "migrant" patients will allow the emergence of the word of the subject. Based on the construction of two case fragments, we will demonstrate how the political and social representations concerning the "migrant", "refugee", "victim", "suspect" leave their concrete and symbolic marks in the subject as well as influence the way the therapy is carried out. This will allow us, in a second step, to question the notion of alienation. Lastly, we will make a clinical proposition that aims to empty the clinical space from the constraints imposed by social representations that silence the subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumo Apoiados em uma demarcação sintética sobre as três fases das pesquisas de Michel Foucault, procuramos destacar a importância e necessidade de uma revisão da questão do sujeito em sua obra, em particular após suas pesquisas sobre a problemática da ética na Grécia e Roma antigas. Concluímos que essa revisão traz uma consequência importante para orientar pesquisas na psicologia ou ciências humanas, de modo geral.

Resumo Este artigo teoriza sobre a relação entre a perda do objeto de satisfação plena e as possíveis experiências de gozo. A fim de empreender essa discussão serão tomados como centrais os conceitos de das Ding em Freud e objeto a em Lacan, alicerçados nos conceitos de angústia, gozo e erotismo, este último encontrado nas elaborações do filósofo Georges Bataille. Ademais, será resgatada a noção de sublimação, via de satisfação pela qual o sujeito bordeja o furo deixado pela perda do objeto fazendo um laço social. O registro simbólico é, portanto, o responsável por fazer este laço, já que estaria nas palavras a possibilidade de um encontro sobre o abismo cavado pela divisão sexual. A linguagem teria, portanto, a função de preencher o buraco deixado pela perda do objeto, uma promessa apaziguadora, mas impossível de ser bem-sucedida, uma vez que sobre essa fenda nada se fala.
