Description
Summary:In this article, it is stated that both in traditional clinical practice and as a methodological strategy in social research, the ultimate ambition of Lacanian psychoanalysis is to listen to the subject, suspending any ontological presuppositions prior to the very diction in which they are enunciated. The subject is strictly specified as supposed and coextensive with the utterance. Conceiving him as attached to a psychic duo modeled on anthropomorphic anatomical-physiological projections is a particular case and an ethnocentric and historically dated reduction of a more general structure, thus not restricted to such specifications.
