The body in Lacan and Deleuze: a possible dialogue?

Abstract:

This text starts from a study of the body through the dialogue between Gilles Deleuze and Jacques-Lacan about the concept of évènement. The primary purpose is to make approximations and distances between philosophical thought, with regard to the concept of évènement and Lacan’s clinic, based on his proposal of the symptom as a body event. This conversation will advance through a bibliographic review of the Deleuzian notion of body without organs and the Lacanian notion of body-sac, with a view to apprehending the main meanings, in order to limit what comes to be an évènement.

Keywords: Évènement; body event; body
