Abstract
This article aims to think that the writing of a clinical case in psychoanalysis needs to consider the aesthetic and political elements to remain accurate regarding the ethics of psychoanalysis. To this end, we will make approximations between the concept of the Unconscious of Sigmund Freud and the Aesthetic Unconscious, proposed by the French philosopher Jacques Rancière. Thus, first we will present a brief presentation on the aesthetic unconscious and psychoanalysis. In a second moment, we will present Rancière’s notes on aesthetics and promote possible articulations between the philosopher and Freud, from what they conceptualize about the unconscious. Finally, we will consider how the clinical case can be observed from this perspective that we propose, of investigating about the articulations between the Unconscious and the Aesthetic Unconscious.
