Abstract:
The symptom structured by the duo castration-unconscious is no longer the configuration that prevails in the regulation of the contemporary psychic economy, but the duo sinthome-pedestal. In contemporary times, in place of a psychic Kantian economy based on the waiving of jouissance for the benefit of the sovereign good, we live under the Sadian imperative of jouissance. There is a prevalence of trivialized retraction (Verleugnung) of the function of The Name of the Father that holds the place of the agent of castration in neurotic fantasy. The subject redefined by the psychoanalysis of Lacanian orientation as a speaking body is more released from the bonds of repression and feels unwilling or unable to sublimate his drives.
Keywords:
