It is found the pain of the loss in relation to the loss of function of the object motive of the desire. The contemporarily is approached in the following questions: Is it possible for the object to have become visible/accessible? Wouldn't that implicate in radical instability in the building of the imaginary body? Object and desire in times of super exposure.
