CAUSALITY IN LACAN: OBJECT A BETWEEN THE CAUSE AND THAT WHICH IT AFFECTS

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Abstract:

This paper investigates how the relation of cause and effect was established for the field of Lacanian psychoanalytic studies from the 1960s, a period in which Jacques Lacan inaugurated and developed, throughout Seminars 10 and 11, important formulations about the object a. From these investigations and going through Freudian elaborations about unconscious causality, we develop the hypothesis that, for Lacanian psychoanalysis, the relation of cause and effect can be interpreted as an operation of negativization crossed by the disarticulating power of the object a.

Keywords:
causality; unconscious; object a
