In Uruguay, Lacanian ideas arrived in the 1960s, in a context of Kleinian hegemony. In this paper, discursive processes and phenomena based on which Lacanism relates and articulates with Kleinism of the time are described.
To carry out this research, a corpus of discursive data was constructed based on clinical cases and theoretical-doctrinal papers published in the “Revista Uruguaya de Psicoanálisis” between 1955 and 1982.
The discursive materials that constitute the corpus display several modes of cross-linking, hybridization and differentiation between theories. Based on these phenomena, some aspects of the Lacan reception process in Uruguay are discussed.
Key words:
Kleinism; Lacanism; Uruguay; discourse analysis
