The creative act and the subject in the sublimation

This article aims to discuss the presence of the Subject, in the psychoanalytical meaning, in the creative act through the Sublimation. Both the notions of creative act and Sublimation are delimited, in Freud and in Lacan, in its articulation with the Subject concept. Being the sublimation a satisfaction way that prescinds of repression, the symptomatic passivity is replaced by the Drive-movement activity, which gains a form in the creative act. In this moment the Subject appears as the author in the act of producing his work. Such act is done whereof and around the empty, in an inside relationship with Ding the central and originary hole in the subjective constitution and without the mediator of the Self or moral commitment. Sublimation and creation are not subdued to the socially desirable or adaptable, but tied to the Subject in all his intimacy and, at the same time, inapprehensible.
