Constituição psíquica e psicopatologia nos textos do “jovem Lacan”

Abstract

This research presents a thematic reading of the psychic constitution and its relationship with psychopathology, circumscribed from a textual corpus written by Jacques Lacan in between the years 1938-1949. To answer the question of how Lacan thought the psychic constitution and the psychopathology before the 50's, four of Lacan's texts were selected as objects of this research: Family complexes in the formation of the individual (1938/1998); Presentation on Psychical causality (1946/1998); Aggressiveness in Psychoanalysis (1948/1998); and The mirror stage as formative of the function of the I as revealed in psychoanalytic experience (1949/1998). In the beginning, a foray is proposed into the epistemological level of Imre Lakatos and his methodology for Scientific Research Programmes (SRPs), and from that point on the Lacanian scientific research program is presented, in which Lacan is assimilated as a set of texts to be read and interpreted. Such consideration introduces the methodological framework of this psychoanalytic research: a reading/writing deconstructive strategy, based on Derrida's philosophical attitude and actualized by three different ways of reading, following and questioning a text. They are: classical/systematizng Reading, hermeneutic reading and the close and deconstructive reading. From this, to answer the question about the psychic constitution and psychopathology in the young Lacan's texts, a hermeneutic reading of them is carried out, aiming at delimiting its internal and external production contexts. Then, the Lacanian proposal on subjective structuration is approached by underlining the successive linkage in the psyche of three major complexes and their respective imagos. The theme of psychopathology in young Lacan's texts is outlined in an analysis of psychoses and neuroses with family-relative themes. Finally, it is presented a reading on current autism issues based on the very young Lacan's theoretical and psychopathological developments.
