Abstract

MUNOZ, Pablo D.. Melancholy... mania...: Rudiments for a reading to leave of the theory of knots. Anu. investig. [online]. 2006, vol.13, pp.81-92. ISSN 1851-1686.

This work registers in a series dedicated to clarify the formalization of the clinical variety of the psychosis starting from the theory of knots for Lacan in the final period of its teaching. In this opportunity, I intend to revise the melancholy and the mania, in their likeness and differences. The foundations in those that this proposal is sustained are three: first that Lacan stops the structure, starting from 1972, it is real, symbolic and imaginary knotting; second that he leaves established the possibility to formalize the clinical categories with this resource when he affirms that "there are types of knots"; and third that the distinction of the three registrations, their conception of the language and the introduction of the structural perspective, they configure in their teaching an equivalent topology to the topical ones with which Freud formalizes his clinical categories. Lastly, I intend to extract some consequences of that that Lacan affirms when it sustains that the mania is a sinthome.

Keywords : Mania; Melancholy; Symptom; Sinthome; Theory of knots.
