Abstract
This paper intends to demonstrate that, on the first part of Jacques Lacan's teaching, the appropriation of the desire as lack-of-being represents the aim of a psychoanalytical treatment. Referring to his very first texts and seminars, we will see that the lack of an immanent knowledge, capable of designating the object compatible with its necessities, which imposes to desire its negativity, symptomatically expressed on the form of the "che vuoi?", with which the subject intends to mend the Other's inconsistence. As proposes the French psychoanalyst, an experience with the psychoanalysis taken to its limits should produce the subject appropriation of the desire as pure lack-of-being, because of which it would liquidate its addressing to the Other as ultimate foundation.
