ABSTRACT
Speech and joy: Psychoanalysis and Society. Changes in the contemporary social bond propose a great opportunity to rethink the place and the foundations of psychoanalysis. With a multitude of presentations, the phenomena related to the body foster the expansion of the discussions on the theme of joy, articulated to the speech. This issue is discussed here with a brief historical background on the forms of body contemplation, until the present, where we can see substantial changes in the enjoyment for the body. We further explore the Freudian and Lacanian concepts aiming to discuss the necessary changes that psychoanalysis is called to do in the face of changes in the social bond.
