Abstract

IUALE, Luján. Variations in the way that the parlêtre’s body is affected: from the traumatism of lalangue to the subjective responses. Anu. investig. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.2, pp.121-129. ISSN 1851-1686.

This research was born due to the growing incidence that the body has taken in the psychoanalytical practice. During the last years, we notice an increasing amount of demands where the body takes an outstanding place. Since Freud’s earliest work with hysterics requires a clear distinction between the organism and the body affected by representations, we know that the psychoanalytical practice always involves the body. We start from Lacan’s concept of lalangue as that which causes trauma and introduces the affections. Lalangue injects joy (jouissance) into the living organism making it disappear at the same time that it founds an incurable rest: the parlêtre will never be able to be a body. The relationship with the body is the way each one finds to deal with the traumatism of lalangue and there isn’t a unique form, but different ways that must be identified. We’ll distinguish the traumatism of lalangue from the variations in the way it affects the body which are considered as a response to trauma that can be more or less symptomatic. We also think that although there are more typical or more singular forms, it is possible to define some specifications to approach this topic.
