Resumos
This article analyzes the conception of the object voice proposed by Jacques Lacan, with the aim of distinguishing it from the common meaning of voice and questioning its relationship with anguish. For this, we discuss both Jacques Derrida and his critique of the phenomenological voice, understood as self-affection, and Theodor Reik’s work on the shofar as a ritual object. We thus show how the French psychoanalyst, in the theme of Reikian reflection, not only develops the relationship between the partial object voice and anguish, but also addresses the resolution of this affection via guilt. This study is part of a broader research project that seeks to provide a framework for Lacan’s metapsychology of affect. The critical reconstruction of the points presented throughout the article also ends up highlighting what this Lacanian horizon seems to intuit, in general, about action.
