At various points in her work, Judith Butler has questioned the operation by which psychoanalysis -specifically, the Lacanian tradition-would erase the historicity of certain concepts when postulating them as transhistorical. The "real" order, as articulated in the discourse of Jacques Lacan and his successors, would imply, according to Butler, the concealment of its symbolic, epochal production. This paper addresses some of those specific questions that the American author has posed to the Lacanian tradition concerning the problem of the historicity of the concepts, focusing on the discussion she has carried out with the psychoanalytic field in general and the Slovenian school in particular.

El presente escrito es un avance de un trabajo de investigación que tiene como eje la problematización de la noción de cuerpo en la denominada última enseñanza de Jacques Lacan. Para avanzar en esa dirección, se plantean dos claves de lectura. La primera, el cuestionamiento de la realidad anatómica del cuerpo y su relación con lo real. La segunda, la pregunta acerca del valor ontológico otorgado al cuerpo a partir de quedar ubicado como aquel misterioso cuerpo hablante, que no engaña. Asimismo, se espera encontrar resonancias y discordancias entre la perspectiva lacaniana y los planteos nietzscheanos acerca del cuerpo y la corporalidad.

A partir do trabalho de construção de casos clínicos em instituições de saúde mental, desenvolvido por um projeto de pesquisa e extensão interinstitucional, recolhemos princípios metodológicos que orientam os bastidores dessa prática no real que concerneàs equipes envolvidas no trabalho com o caso, em sua escrita e em sua transmissão. Avisados das lacunas entre o que o sujeito enuncia, o que se pode registrar e o que resta a transmitir, o caráter de estranheza que sobrevive a essas passagens cênicas mobiliza o tecer do caso naquilo que subsiste até então como indiscernível.

Partindo do grupo de pesquisa “Violência, Corpo e Linguagem”, vinculado à Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ/BR), o trabalho aborda o lugar do cientista na contemporaneidade, entre excessos e limites diante do real. Trabalhamos o lugar do sujeito em sua divisão face a diferentes formações discursivas. Em seguida, as posições de governar, educar e analisar são abordadas na radicalidade de seu impossível na cultura. Com base nesta análise, observamos como o mal-estar dos tempos atuais, ligado ao binário ciência x capitalismo, pode ter no cientista (savant) um dos mais claros exemplos de sua paixão.

This paper is an advance of a research that problematizes the notion of body in the so-called Jacques Lacan's last teaching. To that end, two reading keys are stated. First, the questioning of the anatomic reality of the body and its relation with the real. Second, the question on the ontological value conferred to the body since it is placed as the mysterious, speaking body that does not deceive. Likewise, it is expected to find resonances and differences between the Lacanian perspective and the Nietzschean proposals on body and corporality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the work of building clinical cases in mental health institutions, carried out by a research and interinstitutional extension project, we collect the methodological principles that guide the wings of such practice in the real concerning the teams involved in the work with the case, both in its writing and its transmission. Taking into account the gaps between what the subject states, what can be recorded, and what remains to be transmitted, the character of strangeness that survives those scenic passages mobilizes the case weave in what linger so far as indiscernible.

From the research group "Violence, Body, and Language", linked to the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ/BR), this paper tackles the scientist's role in contemporaneity, among excesses and limits faced with the real. We treat the subject's place in his/her split facing different discursive formations. Then, the positions of governing, educating, and analyzing are approached in the radicalism of their impossibility in the culture. Owing to this analysis, we notice how the current discontent, along with the pairing science x capitalism, may have in the scientist (savant) one of the clearest examples of his/her passion.

This paper presents the difference between truth as a place and the real as impossible from the discourses proposed by psychoanalyst J. Lacan in his seminar from 1969-70. It attempts to place some coordinates to the position of the analyst in relation to truth, so that the effects of his/her interventions touch some of the symptom's real. It also proposes a difference between enunciation and saying, and it goes over the teaching of the Argentinian poet M. Ortiz and the French philosopher E. Chartier in order to elucidate what a subversion of the truth would be as a place in a discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims at accounting for the specificity of the psychoanalytic approach to psychosis, which takes into account the dimension of the Real according to the definition given by Lacan in his own teaching. To this end, it is necessary to redefine the approach to the subject of the unconscious in psychoanalysis, as well as its rejection in CBT, which seeks to affiliate to the discourse of the science and reduces the subject to a mere imaginary dimension. The consequences of recognizing the dimension of the real will be analyzed according to the approach to the symptom and its treatment. This paper is part of a doctoral thesis defended on January 9 2013 at University of Paris 8, titled "The Convenience of Taking into Account the Subject of the Unconscious in the Treatment of Psychosis".

En torno a una realidad perceptible y experimental del sujeto, se puede establecer un vínculo entre el psicoanálisis lacaniano y la filosofía schopenhaueriana. Para ello, pretendo forjar en este texto una relación simple entre el concepto de representación en el pensamiento de Arthur Schopenhauer y la noción de verdad en la teoría de Jacques Lacan, para mostrar finalmente con estos planteamientos el enfoque subjetivo que pone al hombre en una realidad que se encuentra allí para él y casi condicionada por él. Para Lacan, la verdad se encuentra en lo profundo del psiquismo y puede ser revelada en el sentido de que puede ser recobrada por medio del lenguaje. Para Schopenhauer, todo aquello que pertenece al mundo se encuentra de forma inevitable condicionado por el sujeto, existiendo sólo para él como representación. En ambos, la objetividad de la materia pertenece a otro campo. // Around a perceptible and experimental reality of the subject, a link between Lacanian psychoanalysis and Schopenhauerian philosophy can be established. For that reason, I intend to build on this text a simple relationship between the concept of in Schopenhauer's thinking and the notion of in Lacan's theory, to finally show the subjective approach that places man in a reality that is there for him and almost conditioned by him. According to Lacan, truth is located deep in the psyche and can be revealed in the sense that it can be recovered through language. In Schopenhauer's opinion, everything that belongs to the world is inevitably conditioned by the subject and existing only as presentation. In both thinkers, the objectivity of matter belongs to another field.

El presente trabajo de reflexión se propone indagar por la relación entre la matemática y el psicoanálisis y al mismo tiempo pensar sobre los fundamentos de la incomprensión que se plantea en el psicoanálisis, lo que nos llevará a otra relación, la de lo simbólico y lo real, como así también a demostrar la estrecha vinculación que existe entre la fundamentación del número y la constitución subjetiva. // This reflection work is proposed to inquire into the relationship between mathematics and psychoanalysis while thinking about the misunderstanding foundations that arises in this connection. This will lead to the symbolic and real relation, as well as to demonstrate the close relationship between the substance of the number and the subjective constitution.

Está a punto de estrenarse en cine, o quizás ya se estrenó en otras latitudes, la versión cinematográfica del último libro de Cormack McCarthy: La carretera. Galardonado con el Pulitzer por este último libro y conocido entre los lectores casuales gracias a su anterior novela: No country for old men, llevada al cine de forma impecable por los hermanos Cohen, McCarthy sorprende dejando ver que a lo largo de su obra, en particular en La carretera, aparece una pregunta por el padre. Tema que de continuo tratan los psicoanalistas, desafortunadamente no con la belleza con que lo hace el poeta. La obra de McCarthy es otro de los tantos ejemplos en los que la literatura enseña al psicoanálisis. // The premiere is ready or maybe it was showed in other latitudes the Cormack Mccarthy movie version of his last book: The Road. This last book won the Pulitzer Prize, also known among the casual readers for his previous novel: No country for old men, impeccable movie version by Cohen brothers. Along his work McCarthy surprise allowing to see, especially in The Road, a question for the father. Subject usually worked by the psychoanalysts, unfortunately, not with the same beauty that the poet does it. McCarthy’s work is other among many examples where the literature teaches to psychoanalysis.

The current text aims to decipher the method used by Lacan in his Seminar about the Psychosis to read a passage of Racine's Atalia, searching for what the poets show psychoanalysis. All this, bearing in mind it is not applied psychoanalysis but the application of the analytic method defined by him as “that method undertaking the interpretation of the signifier without consideration of any supposedly existing form of the signified.” // El presente texto intenta descifrar el método que Lacan empleó en su Seminario sobre la Psicosis para leer un aparte de la Atalía de Racine, en la búsqueda de aquello que enseñan los poetas al psicoanálisis, teniendo claro que no se trata de psicoanálisis aplicado sino de aplicación del método analítico definido por él mismo como “ese método que procede al desciframiento de los significantes sin consideraciones por ninguna presupuesta forma de existencia del significado”.
